A demographer is a scientist who studies the characteristics of human population, size, growth, distribution and its vital statistics.

A census is a systematic procedure of acquiring and recording information about the members of a given population.

A demographer studies and evaluates the results of a census in order to gather data of a certain population. A census is comparable to a chapter. In order to create a book, the author (which is the demographer) has to create a series of chapters containing the necessary words to complete the whole book.
