It depends where we use the words. Both these and this are correct.

This is use to denote singular for example 'this group of people settled in Asia' while these denotes plural for example 'these people are from Europe'. In other words when using people as individuals you use these, but when using people as a group or collectively, you use this. English has rules and application, and this most be followed for it to make sense.

They both can be correct. When you referring People as Individuals, then you can use the plural determiner these and when you use group as a collective then you can use this.

Since the word 'people' is considered plural, the determiner that you need to use is 'these.' If you are referring to a person, then you can use 'this.'

"These people" is correct. "These" is a demonstrative pronoun used to refer to plural nouns, while "this" is used for singular nouns.

"These people" is the correct one.people is a collective noun and should be pronounced with 'these' because it's demonstrative noun describing plural.
