Question

explain why solving the demographic tensions of the next century is not as simple as moving people from overpopulated regions of the world to underpopulated regions

Answer 1

Well people don't usually want to move away from their homes as a result of a compulsory push. The underpopulated areas are also areas that are not as good economically as the over populated areas. If they were then they would have already become developed. Underpopulated areas could include little towns in deserts or areas of high altitude. The terrain and climate may be different and not be what the residents want. Job opportunities would be low as a result of the move and it would take time to develop the settlement.

It is all down to the attitudes of the people being forced to move and the time needed to develop the settlement.

Answer 2

Because underpopulated regions are underpopulated for a reason where as overpopulated are overpopulated for a reason...Basically, the overpop is overpop because it has what everybody wants, and underpop doesn't have what people want.
Imagine a ton of people trying to live in the arctic? the sahara? the alps? It just doesn't work

Answer 3

Some reasons include: because people may not want to move, there may be economic/resource reasons for people living in populated areas (i.e., the Gobi desert is very sparsely populated, but we can't move people there to solve the problem), and because some political/economic power-agents gain benefit from the way the population is presently distributed.

Answer 4

underpopulated regions may not have infrastructure to support the influx of people. It have to be a gradual thing
