Use when deciding whether a project fits Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) and which article type to target. Demography is the multidisciplinary population-science flagship, so the test is general interest to demographers and a genuine population-change question, not just use of demographic data. Helps frame the question; it does not collect data.

From the source SKILL.md

Demography publishes research "of general interest to demographers" on how populations change, the measurement of population composition and change, and their components — fertility, mortality, and migration — plus the causes and consequences of those changes. The bar is not "I used census data"; it is "this advances population science." Use this skill to pressure-test fit before you invest.
