Demography is the science of human populations and their change over time, and the United States Census reveals important demographic changes decade-by-decade that affect politics, government and public policy. One of the most important demographic trends is that the U.S. has become a far more multicultural and multilingual society than it was in 1960, due in part from changes in the immigration laws in 1965 that abolished the quota system of the National Origins Act that favored European immigrants. As a result, Asians and Hispanics have been the majority of new immigrants over the past forty years and states like California and Texas already have majority-minority populations or soon will have. At some point in the 21st Century, the U.S. as a whole is going to become a majority-minority society for the first time in its history. Another major demographic trend is the rapid growth of the over-65 population as the Baby Boom generation begins to retire, which will mean heavier expenditures on federal entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security. Elderly voters are also the most politically active group, especially when protecting these key safety net programs, and this has become a major political and public policy issue in recent years.

It might impact because more immigrant households are enrolling in early childhood programs. According to Edweek.org(2014) the enrollment has increased in certain regions to include the west and south regions. Latinos were one of the races that were in high attendance in those school districts. Changing demographics can impact the center due to teachers not adequately prepared to teach children from cultural and linguistic background. This impact would force centers to have teachers training programs to prepare teachers for a more diverse center. Eric.ed.gov(2014) discusses that teachers will need to modify or change their teaching practices to now fit a changing demographic to specifically meet the needs of their students.

Like longevity trends, racial trends among the elderly are an important aspect when looking at demographics of the aging population. The growing aging population is also changing in composition. The aging populace is moving to be a more racially and ethnically diverse population than previous aging populations (Ortman & Velkoff, 2014). In 2010, non-Hispanic whites made up 80% of adults aged 65 years or older, by 2030 that percent will decrease to 71.2% of the population 65 and older. It is predicted that by 2050 non-Hispanic whites will make up fewer than 60% of the

The age of population is one of the challenges the United States faces. The shift of demographics may have an effect on the needs and services of this particular population. In this paper it will be discussed how the demographics may have an impact on the health care market, how changes will affect health care such as increase in health care cost and increase in prescription drug cost.

Population demographics - Changes in the population has many consequences for the business operation. As the total of the population changes the demand for products and services also changes for example the increase in the UK population has contributed to the demand of the NHS services and has put a strain on

In order to best describe the cultural landscape of Stafford County and Fredericksburg city, one must analyze the historical conditions that shaped the modern landscape, which will provide insight into present-day demographics as well as future projections. Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, settlements in Virginia rapidly spread westward from the Tidewater Region. Navigable rivers provided the means of movement, as settlers sailed into the Piedmont. While large plantations were initially established in a dispersed and decentralized pattern, several towns of small size began to prosper as sites of tobacco shipment inspection. The exploration of the Rappahannock River dates to 1608, when Captain John Smith visited the falls and encountered indigenous Native

Throughout the lives of baby boomers and even today the market is constantly changing the age of its target audience to focus on the boomers because they make up the majority of consumers. Without the Baby Boom business' growth and development would not be where it is today. The economy continues to appeal to the aging baby boomers as they near retirement just as it did right from when they were first born.

Demographics are an important factor in determining the demand and supply of healthcare works and services that will be needed for a particular region. Certain trends in demographics have to be carefully monitored in order to forecast those changes that may be needed in certain areas based on changes. One change in demographics that can change of the types of services being offered is the age of the population surrounding any healthcare facility or a particular region.

Another demographic change that is going to take place is the age of the work force. With all the advances being made in the medical field people are living longer and are able to work longer. The workforce used to be made of men that had similar capabilities that were between the ages of 20 and 60. Now there are four different age groups to consider, there are the traditionalists that are over the age of 60. Then there are the baby boomers that are between the ages of 44 and 60. Generation X is between the ages of 26 and 44 and then there is generation Y that is younger than 26. All these age groups need to be communicated to differently but have to be treated equally (Pierce, 2011).

The aging of the population will have wide-ranging implications for the country (Ortman, Velkoff, & Hogan, 2014). By “aging,” demographers often mean that the proportion of the population in the older ages increases. As the United States ages over the next several decades, its older population will become more racially and ethnically diverse. The projected growth of the older population in the United States will present challenges to policy makers and programs, such as Social Security and Medicare. It will also affect families, businesses, and health care providers.

Television came to America in the late 1940’s, It was call “the home screen”. At the beginning the first telecasts were in bars, this types of business use television to win or retain customers. Many of them install televisions for this purpose. In department stores, they display them in the appliances section of the store. People use to watch the units and start asking about price and installation cost. Television often tune to an early filler or the schedule, professional wrestling. Others retailers temporary enter television retailing. Some like beauty parlors, gas stations, and dry cleaners. In 1940’s television sales took off, by this time the start of individual station in largest cities. The cost of owning and operating a station

Students who go far in school often do so in order to prepare themselves for the "real world" of business and industry. That preparation requires a high degree of knowledge and insight, but it also requires communication and strategy skills such as a clear writing style, a global perspective, ethics, critical thinking skills, and problem solving abilities. In order to be prepared for the business

“The number of employees over the age of 55 has increased by 30 percent; however, the number of 25- to 54-year-olds has only increased by 1 percent” (Claire, 2009). In 2008 the eldest of the 77 million baby-boomers turned 62. Estimates are that by the end of the decade about 40 percent of the work force will be eligible to retire. As people begin to reach the age of retirement there may be not be enough new employees to fill the gap (Clare, 2009). Companies need to find ways to attract Boomers and Millennials. Companies that want to attract Boomers and Millennials need to be creative in their culture, HR policies and work environments.
