ABSTRACT: A review followed a descriptive approach in analyzing the literature at the macro level to determine the nature of research interest in social demography during the specified time period (2014-2024). It then used a foresight approach to predict the prospects of social demography in the near future, through theoretical and methodological practices that have emerged in the studies of scholars and researchers on contemporary issues. A review of contemporary issues in social demography reveals a state of renewal that parallels social transitions currently taking place in societies. The paper concludes that social demography is not lacking in its scientific theories, methodological approaches, and research tools, given the tremendous progress of the digital revolution and artificial intelligence. It anticipates the emergence of new scientific theories for virtual societies and posthumanism, as well as their diverse issues. A review anticipates the increasing importance of social demography issues, theories, and methods as an interdisciplinary science in the near future, given its interconnectedness with many other sciences.
