EspañolDEVELOPMENT-INDUCED DISPLACEMENT
'Development-induced displacement' is the forcing of communities and individuals out of their homes, often also their homelands, for the purposes of economic development. It is a subset of forced migration. It has been historically associated with the construction of dams for hydroelectric power and irrigation purposes but also appears due to many other activities, such as mining.
★ Three Gorges Dam in China - about 1.13 million displaced
★ Tokuyama Dam in Japan - 600 some displaced
★ Economic migrants (not to be confused with "development-induced displacement", as the cause of their migration is not necessarily "development", but is to the contrary likely caused by the absence of development)
