Okay kiddo, Imagine the world is a huge school with a lot of kids. Asia is the biggest classroom in the school, where a lot of kids study. But did you know, this huge classroom has kids from different backgrounds and cultures? These kids vary in their age, gender, religion, and many other things.
Demographics of Asia means studying about these kids who live in Asia and understanding their differences. Demographics comes from two Greek words, "demos" meaning people and "graphy" meaning writing. So, it means writing about people who live in a specific area.
In Asia, there are more than 4 billion people who belong to different countries like China, India, Japan, Indonesia, Philippines, and so on. These kids speak different languages, eat different foods, and have different traditions.
Some kids in Asia are really old, some are middle-aged, while some are very young, just like you. In fact, more than half of the kids in Asia are under the age of 30!
Another thing to know is that there are more boys than girls in some countries while there are more girls than boys in some other countries. Also, because of advances in medicine and health care, people in Asia are living longer than they used to.
Demographics also helps understand the economy of Asia. The adults in Asia have different jobs like farming, teaching, manufacturing, or running their own businesses. The amount of farmers or factory workers in a country affects how much that country's economy will grow.
So, to sum it up, demographics of Asia is like learning about a big classroom where lots of kids study. We study their differences like their age, gender, religion, and jobs, to understand how they fit into their society and how they contribute to their country's economy.
