Demographic characteristics include population, birth rate, death rate, sex ratio, migration, population changes, age composition, individual family size etc. There is need to study population in order to determine the characteristics of the end-user of technological innovations. The word population could be categorized into rural or urban based on where they live. They study of rural sociology concentrates on the rural population.
