Not much context here unfortunately. Seems to do with the calculation of statistics and average values. Any ideas?

Rodrigo Maharg Bravo (asker) Oct 16, 2013:
Hi, just noticing this now. I think it was more to do with data sets than anything else, at least it seemed to make more sense that way. thanks.
Neil Ashby Oct 14, 2013:
HI Rodrigo Are the "poblaciones" definitely referring to "the number of people" or is it simply referring to data sets?

Thanks Katy
agree Neil Ashby : Ladron! ;@) // Congratualtions, you must be chuffed and dying to tell the world ;@) - I wasn't sure, but I suspected we were discussing datasets, but I didn't know the term although I'm sure I'd have got there in the end - beat me to it ;)

Sorry Neil. I seem to remember the term in relation to gas chromatography in my chemical days, imparted by my maths tutor. // I would confirm it with my daughter in law (an Oxford Maths Graduate) but she just gave birth to Arthur, my first grandchild.

Population movement/ migration / mobility

Surely this is what is being alluded to here? - with 'momerno' being a typo for 'movimiento'?

Population momentum

Population momentum refers to population growth at the national level which would occur even if levels of childbearing immediately declined to replacement level.[1] For countries with above-replacement fertility (greater than 2.1 children per woman), population momentum represents natural increase to the population. Formal demographers refer to population momentum as the size of the resulting stationary-equivalent population relative to the current size of the population
Example sentence:

Population momentum has implications for population policy
