This statement is FALSE.

Explanation:

This statement is false. For demographics is defined as an area of human sciences whose central objective is the study of a human population, according to statistics, dimensions, structures and distributions. The demographic study is carried out through several factors, such as sex, age, race, and others.

Through demographic data it is possible for governments and institutions to get to know in depth and analyze characteristics of a given population for different purposes, such as market research and policy development.

The definition proposed by the question corresponds to economics and not demographics.
