The Burden of Support: Young Latinos in an Aging Society.

Abstract

Demographic and socioeconomic trends among the Latino population of the United States are analyzed with a focus on California. Specifically the authors examine possible effects of the demographic aging of the Anglo baby-boom generation and the growth of the relatively young Latino population. The book begins by describing a worst-case scenario for California in 2030. The past present and future dynamics of Californias population are then outlined. Chapters are included on the age-ethnic gap employment and income education health care and political participation. The study concludes with a best-case scenario for California in 2030.
