I am curious if there will be a way to encourage population to move from more developed planets to less developed ones much like the USA encouraged people to settle the frontier with the Homestead Act.
 
I would like to have this.
I would implement it in the way that populations would drift naturally, but you could also use some kind of focus and policies (e.g. Homestead as you mentioned)/ to encourage/deter migration to specific planets,

Perhaps a planet has a good base for strong industry, but lacks POPs, you could have a dedicated farming and growth planet, and then move excess population to the industrial planet, or where-ever you need them.

Also if you want to be evil you could conquer an alien planet, and then migrate your own population there to effectively wipe out the local culture and perform "russification" as it were.

Reactions:
Over population could encourage internal migration too so that you need to colonize more planets or slow population growth.
 
They have said they have drawn upon previous titles as inspiration - one of those was Distant Worlds. In that game, populations migrate to your colonies via in game passenger ships controlled (largely) by the AI (the same as mining ships, transports etc). I certainly hope something similar is in this one.
