Population Geography is the study of spatial variations in distribution, density, composition and growth of human numbers on earth.
It is important because it links all other aspects of geography together.

Population Geography is a division of Human Geography. It is the study of the ways in which spatial variations in the distribution, composition, migration, and growth of populations are related to the nature of places. Population geography involves demography in a geographical perspective. It focuses on the characteristics of population distributions that change in a spatial context. Examples can be shown through population density maps

Population Geography is a division of Human Geography. It is the study of the ways in which spatial variations in the distribution, composition, migration, and growth of populations are related to the nature of places. Population geography involves demography in a geographical perspective. It focuses on the characteristics of population distributions that change in a spatial context. Examples can be shown through population density maps. A few types of maps that show the spatial layout of population are chloropleth, isoline, and dot maps. Demography studies:
* Study of people in their spatial distribution and density
* Increase or decrease in population numbers
* The movements and mobility of populations
* Occupational Structure
* Grouping of people in settlements
* The way from the geographical character of places e.g. settlement patterns
* The way in which places in turn react to population phenomena e.g. immigration
All of the above are looked at over space and time.
N.B. The boundary between population geography and demography is becoming more and more blurred.

in other words how the popluation grows and decreases in areas where humans live. It covers birth rate, life expectancy, death rate and other factors like war that can influence it.

n the most common sense of the word, a population is the collection of people—or organisms of a particular species—living in a given geographic area.
