displaced person
A displaced person (sometimes abbreviated DP) is a person who has been forced to leave his or her home or place of habitual residence, a phenomenon known as forced migration.
According to the UNHCR, there were 59.5 million forcibly displaced people worldwide at the end of 2014, the highest level since World War II: 19.5 million were refugees, 1.8 million asylum seekers and 38.2 million internally displaced persons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UNHCR – Global Trends –Forced Displacement in 2014 )〕
==Origin of term==
The term was first widely used during World War II and the resulting refugee outflows from Eastern Europe,〔Mark Wyman: ''Dps: Europe's Displaced Persons, 1945-1951''. Cornell University Press 1998 (reprint). ISBN 0-8014-8542-8.〕 when it was used to specifically refer to one removed from his or her native country as a refugee, prisoner or a slave laborer. The meaning has significantly broadened in the past half-century. A displaced person may also be referred to as a forced migrant. The term "refugee" is also commonly used as a synonym for displaced person, causing confusion between the general descriptive class of anyone who has left their home and the subgroup of legally defined refugees who enjoy specified international legal protection. Most of the victims of war, political refugees and DPs of the immediate post-Second World War period were Ukrainians, Poles, other Slavs, as well as citizens of the Baltic states - Lithuanians, Latvians, and Estonians, who refused to return to Soviet-dominated eastern Europe.
A.J. Jaffe claimed that the term was originally coined by Eugene M. Kulischer.〔A. J. Jaffe: Notes on the Population Theory of Eugene M. Kulischer. In: ''The Milbank Memorial Fund Quarterly'', Vol. 40, No. 2. (April 1962). Pp. 187-206.((online) )〕
