demography
'die Demographie' and 'die Demografie' mean the same thing as a science: they study how populations develop and how they are composed. The difference is mainly in the spelling. 'Demografie' is the more modern and simpler spelling, while 'Demographie' is the older or more traditional form. Learners can easily confuse the words because their pronunciation and meaning are almost the same. In normal texts, both forms can be understood for the science; the important thing is to keep to one spelling as much as possible within a text.
