This timely and critical book takes on a new phenomenon facing the
United States and poses the stark question: Will the United States
be prepared by 2050, when its older population doubles and we
become a majority-minority society? In the authors' response,
scholars, policy leaders and the public are provided with the
background and information that connects these two trends to
contemporary public policy debates. Written with clarity and
expertise, this book illuminates the changes and challenges that
face the nation by concisely addressing a wide range of topics,
including immigration reform, the politics of aging, and health and
retirement security, and provides a glimpse of how the "next
America" might look. The authors draw on current data about
longevity, diversity and the growing Hispanic population in
particular, to unfold the social, cultural, policy and political
implications for an aging and diversifying population. With case
studies and real-world examples, the book outlines and analyzes the
possible impact of this phenomenon on issues like governance,
public benefits, the long term care work force and national
security, and builds a broader framework with which to understand
them. With combined experience in academia, government and policy
advocacy, the authors tackle the dramatic changes occurring across
the United States and offer a road map to not only understanding
but addressing these challenges and opportunities with reason and
responsibility. Key Features: Presents the most current statistics
and data on demographics Written by an interdisciplinary team with
combined experience in academia, government and policy advocacy
Includes case studies and real-world examples to build a broader
framework of understanding Addresses social, policy, cultural and
political challenges facing a rapidly changing population and
