Key Concepts in Migration and Population Policies
- Transhumance: Regular seasonal movement of human groups; livestock migrates between pastures.
- International vs. Intranational Refugees: International refugees flee to another country, while intranational refugees move within the same country.
- Permanent vs. Temporary Refugees: Permanent refugees gain residency in a new country and do not return, whereas temporary refugees await permanent status.
Population Policies
- Expansive Population Policies: Encourage large families to boost population growth.
- Eugeuic Population Policies: Favor specific racial or ethnic groups through targeted government policies.
- Restrictive Population Policies: Aim to lower natural population growth rates.
Population Dynamics
- Negative Population Growth: Occurs when the death rate surpasses the birth rate.
- One Child Policy: China's directive limiting urban families to one child and rural families to two.
- Census: An official count of the population in a specific area.
Population Growth Factors
- Nutritional Density: Measure of nutrition produced relative to land area; more fertile regions have higher nutritional density.
- Baby Boom: Significant population increase post-war, resulting in larger families and suburban growth.

Population Projections and Theories
- J-Curve: Population growth model indicating exponential growth, leading to increased resource demand.
- S-Curve: Represents a leveling off of exponential population growth.
- Migration Fields: Geographic areas supplying the majority of migrants to a specific location.
Historical and Policy Frameworks
