Immigrants and Boomers

Posted May 9th, 2007 by Tara Murray in Aging, Education, Labor Force, Migration, US Demography

An article in the May 7 Wall Street Journal looks at the link between baby boomers and new immigrants. As boomers retire, immigrants and their children will fill their economic role, so better education for Latinos will benefit the nation, according to Dowell Myers, a demographer at the University of Southern California and author of Immigrants and Boomers: Forging a New Social Contract for the Future of America.

The WSJ article is available to the Penn State community online; others should check their local library.
