儿童在移徙、生育率和死亡率研究中占突出地位，在考虑人口对社会经济和环境问题的重要性的更广泛的地理分布中也很明显。然而，有人争辩说，童年的人口地理是一个海市蜃楼，因为儿童无时无刻不存在，但从来没有真正存在过。追求“人口地理分布”的趋势和儿童时期(社会)地理分布的出现，为出现新的涉及儿童的人口地理分布提供了背景。这样的地理位置为我们提供了丰富我们对人口模式和过程的理解的前景。要实现这一目标，就必须对儿童和童年进行理论上的接触。(作者)
Children feature prominently in migration fertility and mortality studies and are evident in those more broadly-based geographies which consider the importance of population to socioeconomic and environmental issues. However it is argued that the population geography of childhood is a mirage in that children are ever-present but never really there. Trends toward the pursuit of `peopled population geographies and the emergence of a (social) geography of childhood provide context within which new population geographies involving children can emerge. Such geography holds out the prospect of enriching our understanding of population patterns and processes. To realize this goal necessitates a theoretical engagement with children and childhood.
