Demographics

The article’s purpose is to assess demographic factors that influence the evaluation of service quality in higher education institutes, specifically through the perspective of international students. Sein Min and Chey Chor Khoon note that demographic factors such as, age, gender, and nationality can affect the overall levels of satisfaction in institutes of higher education (995). The article’s target audience is mainly marketers of higher education, international students and institutes of higher education. Min et. Al claim that, “since students are viewed as customers, education service quality should be measured from the perspective of students” (995). University of Miami Scholars, Parasuraman et. Al (1988) suggested that, “there are 5 dimensions to measure service quality: tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy” (996). This set of dimensions is more commonly known as the SERVQUAL model. Min et. Al refer to various studies that show inconsistent results when it comes to assessing service quality based on demographic variables. According to Yusof et. Al, A modified SERVQUAL model, specific to higher education should be used for this research. The new model should include the following variables: “class size, level and difficulty of subject, student workload and knowledge / expertise, systems / secondary services,…

In this Action Research paper, I am going to discuss the demographics and break down of my classroom library, and the possible deficits it presents to the students who populate it. This is significant because the more a child is exposed to a rich and dynamic library of books the better he or she has to be fluent in both reading and writing (Tompkins, 2015). It is also essential to to remember that a lack of culturally variegated texts may have an negative impact on children. I will first…

Introduction Demography is the scientific study of human populations, including their sizes, compositions, distributions, densities, growth and other characteristics as well as the causes and consequences of changes in those factors. Demographic analysis is an important tool that explains sociological phenomena such as expanding population which can result in competition of resources such as food, land, access to trade routes among others. Demography largely relies on large data sets over long…

Generation X, or Gen X, is the demographic cohort following the baby boomers. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers typically use starting birth years ranging from the early-to-mid 1960s and ending birth years ranging from the late 1970s to 1980. Generation X is a relatively smaller demographic cohort sandwiched between two larger demographic cohorts, the baby boomers and the millennials. Generation Xers as children grew up in an era when divorce was…

The basic demographic equation is an effective way to determine future population rates, without the influence of political policy. The equation says that “growth rate = birth - deaths + net migration.” Europeans are dying out; their population is shrinking. One factor, fertility, has increasingly dropped. The European crude birth rate, or the number of births per 1,000 people, was 10.1 in the year 2014. Almost half a century before, in 1970, the birth rate was 16.4. Europeans seem to be…

The demographic transitions model splits society into four stages, stage one, High stationary which occurs when there is a high birth rate and a high death rate which has a natural increase is low because the two cancel each other out. In stage two, early expanding there is a rapid drop in the death rate, this transition could occur because of improvements in sanitation, better health care and food and water supply. All of these factors could play a huge role in this factor if people are getting…

Despite its Middle Eastern location, Turkey is far from third world status, with its flourishing economy and urbanization habits. With the capital a highly important metropolitan city vital in the commercial and industrial businesses, Turkey teeters on the line of First and Second world title, more like its neighbors to the West than the rest of its continent. Several factors set Turkey apart from the rest of the world’s demographics, not just the staggering population of one religion – Turkey…

Analyzing Demographics There was an increase in the total aging population as well as the 65 and over population from 2012 to 2015. This increase in the older population will affect social and economical interests. Baby boomers are largely responsible for this increase in the older population (U.S. Census Bureau, 20014). With this boom comes change. The older population will become more racially and ethically diverse (U.S. Census Bureau, 20014). With change can come complications and…

According to Demographic Transition Model, there has been a gradually shift from high fertility and mortality rates to a decline in birth rate and death rates, which leads to the ageing of populations in the world. Therefore, many scientists, developmental psychologists, healthcare professionals and even governments start to emphasis on the aging issue. In the previous years, ageing was simply associated with a decline in physical, psychological, social capacities and an increase in the risk…

Population Demographics Anchorage has seen many changes when it has come to their population demographics. Some of the data is hard to understand, especially when looking at the information about race in the city. In 1950 the city was 97 percent white, while lowering to 66 percent in the most recent census (City-Data, 2015). In 1990, the census recorded 6.4% African American, 6.4% Native American, which is up nearly 5 percent from 1970, 4.1 percent Hispanic and 4.8 percent of residents were…
