According to a new U.S. Census Bureau report released Tuesday, more than half (50.2%) of the nation’s children are expected to be a part of a minority race or ethnic group by 2020.
Entitled “Projections of the Size and Composition of the U.S. Population: 2014 to 2060,” the report examines the total U.S. population, native and foreign born.
Other major findings include the following:
•The total U.S. population is projected to increase by 98.1 million between 2014 and 2060, from an estimated 319 million to 417 million respectively.
•By 2030, all baby boomers will have reached age 65 or older.
•The percent of foreign born is expected to increase each decade, its rate of growth projected to outpace that of natives.
•By 2044, the U.S. population as a whole is expected to become majority-minority.
•By 2060, the nation’s foreign-born will reach nearly one in five of the total population, from 13 percent in 2014 to 19 percent.
•Also by the year 2060, an estimated 36 percent of children (people under age 18) will be "single-race non-Hispanic White," compared with 52 percent today.
By 2020, 50.2 percent of children will be minorities. By 2044, 50.3 percent of all Americans will be minorities.
