Population structure
social system includes socio-demographic groups.They are divided into categories such as:

demographic structure of these demographic groups suggest the relationship between women and men occupying some territory.It consists in the relationship between people of different years of birth.Tool that analyzes this type is the "pyramid".With it you can explore the organization of reproduction.Line charts are calm, if the level of fertility and mortality has no differences or abnormalities.
Family structure
These demographic groups - a union characterized by the number, size, the relationship between the individual members of the family and its composition.Of particular importance are the indicators of marital status: married, (non-) married, single, widowed, divorced, diverged from the partner.In the study of this kind is taken into account and the human part that stands out for a variety of indications.This is the number of generations in the family, about the completeness of married couples, the number of minor children, the child's age and degree of relationship between several categories of relatives.The system of this structure all the "cell of society" are certain demographic groups.Examples of such associations as follows:
