Demographer Jennifer Sciubba joins WIRED to answer the internet's questions about population and demographics. What is demography? What perspective can demographics provide about populations and societies? Do fertility rates really matter? Where do most people emigrate from when coming to the United States? And is immigration a net positive or negative? Answers to these questions and plenty more await on Population Support.
