This new volume maps the complex interplay of demographic and
socioeconomic changes in the United States, where rapid aging and
ethnic diversification are merely the most salient of the many
issues with major long-term implications. Drawing on The United
States Census Bureau's post-2010 detailed projections, as well as a
wealth of data distilled from authoritative sources, the authors
tackle many of the urgent policy questions raised by America's
changing population. The book explores the ways economic markets
are adapting to an older and more diverse customer base, how the
projected demographic change will impact public service demand, the
growing economic disparities between asset-rich baby boomers and
youth struggling for economic security, and how the projected
demographic patterns will change the fiscal, economic, education,
health, and housing sectors and alter the social structures and
processes impacting American households and the diverse array of
America's future population. A thorough survey of major demographic
patterns in the USA up to 2050 is followed by an assessment of how
these will affect socioeconomic, public service, fiscal, economic,
and social structures and mechanisms, down to the size and
composition of households. The analysis then considers possible
variations of outcome predicated on alternative dynamic patterns
between demographics and socioeconomics. Cutting through the
politics and communal anxieties with hard, cutting-edge data, this
study will be a primary source for all those who must use its
contents to guide their decisions.

Drawing on nearly thirty years of prior analyses of growth, aging,
and diversity in Texas populations and households, the authors of
"Changing Texas: Implications of Addressing or Ignoring the Texas
Challenge" examine key issues related to future Texas population
change and its socioeconomic implications. Current interpretation
of data indicates that, in the absence of any change in the
socioeconomic conditions associated with the demographic
characteristics of the fastest growing populations, Texas will
become poorer and less competitive in the future. However, the
authors delineate how such a future can be altered so that the
"Texas Challenge" becomes a Texas advantage, leading to a more
prosperous future for all Texans.
Presenting extensive data and projections for the period through
2050, "Changing Texas" permits an educated preview of Texas at the
middle of the twenty-first century. Discussing in detail the
implications of population-related change and examining how the
state could alter those outcomes through public policy, "Changing
Texas" offers important insights for the implications of Texas'
changing demographics for educational infrastructure, income and
poverty, unemployment, healthcare needs, business activity, public
funding, and many other topics important to the state, its leaders,
and its people. Perhaps most importantly, "Changing Texas" shows
how objective information, appropriately analyzed, can inform
governmental and private-sector policies that will have important
implications for the future of Texas.
