-CanESS is a model designed to demonstrate the relationship between an evolving population, the evolution of energy systems to meet that population'​s needs, and the emissions produced as a result. As such, CanESS relies on population ​information to determine the rate and extent of resource production ​or energy use.  +| |[[caness:demography:​Population]]|

-The sub-models ​used to simulate demographics are contained under the Demography organizational node. It comprises 3 calculators: ​[[caness:demography:​Population]], [[caness:demography:​famForm|Family Formation]], and [[caness:demography:​Households]].\\+CanESS relies on demographics ​information to determine the rate and extent of resource production ​and energy use. The demographic profile affects everything from amount of food required, GDP, emissions produced by transportation,​ and much more. In particular it contains a calculator which populates a variable called //Canada total population//​ (number of people organized by region and time) which is used in the [[CanESS:macroEconomy|Macro Economy]] node, [[CanESS:foodProd|Food Production]], and multiple calculators in [[CanESS:energyUse|Energy Use]].
