| English term or phrase: displacement | According to the Social and Human Science website, the displacement of people refers to the forced movement of people from their locality or environment and occupational activities. Displacement can lead to a geographic shift in households, which may preserve or increase economic and racial segregation throughout an area. In regard to population displacement resulting from development, there are typically two types: Direct Displacement, which leads to the actual displacement of people from their locations and Indirect Displacement, which leads to a loss of livelihood. Forced to leave the home region to which they are attached, and for which they have the knowledge and opportunity to make a living most effectively, displaced populations often become impoverished. The displacement of people, as a result of development projects, policies and processes, therefore constitutes a social cost for development.
