The demographics of Americans
A new report estimates that by 2050 Hispanics will triple to 30% of the population. Children born to foreigners in America will likely increase to 20% (from 12% today). Asian Americans will increase from 5% now to 9% then. The prime cause of the shift is the declining birthrate among U.S.-born women compared to immigrants and immigration, but immigration itself will do little to offset the doubling of the nation’s elderly as the Baby Boomers age. By 2050, people over 65 will make up 19 percent of the population, compared with 12 percent in 2005, while the share of working-age people will shrink from 63 percent to 58 percent (Pew Research Center, in Washington Post, tinyurl.com…).
