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

Population momentum


Explanation:
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(s):
  • Population momentum has implications for population policy
