What is apocalyptic demography?

Apocalyptic demography is a term used to describe the study of population dynamics in the context of an impending apocalypse or global catastrophe. This field involves the analysis of how demographic factors such as fertility, mortality, and migration patterns are affected by large-scale disasters or societal disruptions. Researchers in apocalyptic demography investigate the potential demographic consequences of events such as nuclear war, climate change, pandemics, or asteroid impacts, and explore strategies for mitigating their impact on population stability and societal resilience.
