Explanation:

1. Classic immigration patterns were rural, had ethnic enclaves, came in waves, not urbanized.
2. Baby Boomers were born 1945-1965, linked to post-WWII prosperity/optimism; birth control was later.
3. China and India together hold ~1/3 of the global population.
4. Global North refers to wealthy nations, unlike the other terms for low-income nations.
5. Demography is the formal study of human population.
6. Climate refugees primarily come from climate-vulnerable regions, not North America.
7. Low NRI (Net Reproductive Index) links to lower fertility; employment reduces birth rates, while the other factors raise or do not lower NRI.
8. Vaccines, antibiotics, sanitation raised life expectancy; obesity reduction is not a historic key factor.
9. High NRI nations have low female empowerment, not high; the other options align with high fertility.
10. Restrictive immigration arguments focus on harms; tax revenue is a pro-immigration argument.
11. Using the Rule of 70: $\frac{70}{3} \approx 23$, closest to 25 years.
12. Demographers project global population will peak at 9-12 billion this century.
13. Urban areas have the highest concentration of people, so greatest population density.
