The ethnically Kurdish component of the population has increased from 3.132 million in 1965 to 7.046 million in 1990. This very substantial increase has been due to high fertility, which is a characteristic of agrarian or recently agrarian societies...,coupled with falling mortality, a typical case of demographic transition.... Perhaps more importantly, the massive population movements during the last two decades have spatially redistributed the Kurds." | lld:pubmed |
