"How the U.S. Hispanic Population is Changing" |
|
Facts
- The article explains how in the United States, the Latino population has reached nearly "58 million in 2016 and has been the principal driver of U.S demographic growth." During this time, the Latino population has been developing, making a difference in immigration, education, and others.
- Although there are a lot of immigrants coming into the United States, in recent years, fewer migrants from Mexico arrive in the U.S and the number leaving the country rises. Meaning that emigration is also increasing in the United States. - It also shows how there have been more individuals that are attending to college. More specifically, "40% of Hispanics had any college experience." Which demonstrates that Latinos are taking advantage of the education that the United States provide them. - The number of Hispanics that speak Spanish has been increasing a lot. It grew 1.8% from 2010 and 2015. |
- The Hispanic Population has reached a new high, but growth has slowed.
- The U.S. Hispanic population is drawn from an increasingly diverse mix of countries. - There are around 56,477,000 millions of Hispanics in the United States. - There are more Mexicans (35,758,00 millions) and less Argentinians (274,000 individuals). - California continues to have the largest Latino population among states. - Texas is seeing a faster growth rate. |
- Growth Rate: The net increase of some factor per unit time. In ecology, sometimes measured as the increase in numbers of individuals or biomass per unit time and sometimes as a percentage increase in numbers or biomass per unit time
- Demographic Growth: The pattern of change in birth and death rates as a country is transformed from undeveloped to developed. There are three stages: (1) in an undeveloped country, birth and death rates are high and the growth rate is low; (2) the death rate decreases, but the birth rate remains high and the growth rate is high; (3) the birth rate drops toward the death rate and the growth and the growth rate therefore also decreases. - Immigration: The action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country. - Emigration: The act of leaving a country to settle permanently in another one. - National Population Growth: It happens as people are born (in contrast to immigration) into a country, and decrease as people die (in contrast to emigrate). - Ethnic Groups: A population made up of people who share a common cultural background or descent. |
Opinion
In my opinion, the population has been changing in the United States a lot, immigration and emigration have been occurring. Immigration, which is coming to live permanently in a country, has been increasing drastically. There are many reasons as for why this is occurring such as unemployment, poverty, poor safety, security, education, quality of life, and others. According to the article, there has been a lot of Hispanics that are able to go to college. This demonstrates that many Latinos come to this country in order to get the education needed so that they can get the job that they want. Being able to get a college degree and get a job will change the individual's life and his/her family too. This is because their economic status will change in a marvelous way.
