Demography is the scientific study of human populations. A central question is how the population produces and renews itself over time. Any social aggregates such as states, societies, ethnic or racial groups, and organizations are all populations. Demographic research gains its firm place in management studies since 1970s. There are at least three traditions that are prominent in management studies: workforce demography, organizational demography, and organizational ecology. Workforce demography looks at the flows of individuals in the workplaces; explains labor turnover and mobility in organizational settings. Organizational demography looks at the composition of organizational members in terms of their attributes such as sex, age, education level, ethnicity, and tenure; explains the distribution of the member characteristics and organizational outcomes such as turnover and firm performance. Organizational ecology looks at the vital rates of organizations – birth, growth, and death – and their relations with environments.
