over 50% of the US babies born in 2012 were to unwed Latin mothers

[Grapesoda]

that's pretty interesting, heard it on talk radio today... that means government assistance, lower education and eventually jail for a large % of the population and if this trend continues... who will foot the bill? thoughts?

Explaining Why Minority Births Now Outnumber White Births

by Jeffrey Passel, Gretchen Livingston and D’Vera Cohn

The nation’s racial and ethnic minority groups—especially Hispanics—are growing more rapidly than the non-Hispanic white population, fueled by both immigration and births. This trend has been taking place for decades, and one result is the Census Bureau’s announcement today that non-Hispanic whites now account for a minority of births in the U.S. for the first time.

The bureau reported that minorities—defined as anyone who is not a single-race non-Hispanic white—made up 50.4% of the nation’s population younger than age 1 on July 1, 2011. Members of minority groups account for 49.7% of children younger than age 5, the bureau said, and for 36.6% of the total population. The findings are included in the bureau’s first set of national population estimates since the 2010 Census, when 49.5% of babies under age 1 were minorities.

Hispanics are more than a quarter of the nation’s youngest residents, according to the new population estimates, accounting for 26.3% of the population younger than age 1. Among other major non-Hispanic groups, the share for whites is 49.6%; for blacks, 13.7%; and for Asians 4.4%.

The long-term result of these changes among younger age groups is that non-Hispanic whites are projected to become a minority of the population (47%) by 2050, according to Pew Research Center population projections. (Census Bureau projections say the change will occur in 2042). Hispanics, already the nation’s largest minority group, are projected to continue to account for most population growth by that year.

Population Patterns-

Underlying these changes is the rapid growth of minority groups compared with non-Hispanic whites. Results from the 2010 Census showed that racial and ethnic minorities accounted for 91.7% of the nation’s growth since 2000. Most of that increase from 2000 to 2010—56%—was due to Hispanics. Non-Hispanic whites, though still a majority of the nation’s population, accounted for only 8.3% of its growth over the decade.

Minorities accounted for 93.3% of the nation’s population growth from April 1, 2010 (Census day) to July 1, 2011, according to Census Bureau data released today. Of the total population growth of 2.8 million during that period, the total increase for non-Hispanic whites was only 192,000.

Another important part of the explanation for changing birth patterns is that minority populations are younger than whites, so are more likely to be having and raising children. There are notable differences by race and ethnic group in median age, the age at which half a group is younger and half older. The national median age in 2011 was 37.3.

Non-Hispanic whites have the oldest median age, 42.3, in 2011, according to the population estimates. Hispanics have the youngest, 27.6. Non-Hispanic blacks (32.9) and non-Hispanic Asians (35.9) also are younger than whites.

Related to their younger age profiles, racial and ethnic minority groups also include a higher share of women in the prime child-bearing ages of 20-34. Fully a quarter (25%) of the nation’s Hispanic women are in this age group, according to the population estimates, compared with fewer than one-in-five non-Hispanic whites (19%). For non-Hispanic blacks and Asians, the share is 22%.

Fertility-

The changing profile of the nation’s youngest residents also stems from the fact that some groups, especially Hispanics, have higher numbers of children than do non-Hispanic whites. One illustration of this difference is in the “total fertility rate,” or the number of children the average woman is predicted to have in her lifetime, based on current age-specific birth rates. For the U.S. as a whole, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of American Community Survey data, the number is 2.0. (American Community Survey data in this posting come from a Pew Research Center analysis of the 1% sample of the 2010 ACS Integrated Public Use Microdata Series [IPUMS])

Among Hispanics, the total fertility rate is 2.4. For non-Hispanic whites and for non-Hispanic Asians, it is 1.8. Non-Hispanic blacks (2.1) have higher fertility than whites but lower fertility than Hispanics.

Immigration is an important contributor to higher birth rates among Hispanics, because foreign-born women tend to have more children on average than U.S.-born women. Most growth in the Hispanic population from 2000 to 2010 was due to births, not immigration, a change from the long-time pattern. But most births to Hispanic women are to those born outside the U.S.

Interracial Relationships-

Social change, not just demographic change, also is driving recent birth rate trends. A rising number of multiracial babies is being born to couples that include one white parent.

Rising rates of intermarriage explain some of the trend. Among newlyweds in 2010, 9% of whites married someone who was Hispanic or of another race. That was nearly triple the rate in 1980. In a 2009 Pew Research Center survey, 29% of whites said they have an immediate family member or close relative married to someone of a different race; this compares with 50% of nonwhites who said the same.

Survey data indicate that the public increasingly accepts and approves of intermarriage and interracial dating.

Census Bureau Methodology-

The Census Bureau estimates released today are not the nation’s official birth numbers, which come from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The latest final NCHS birth data that is available is for 2009. As the Census Bureau explains in its estimates methodology, it calculated the share of births for the nation’s race and ethnic groups based on 2009 data from the NCHS, along with some more current data from individual states.

Because there are differences in the race categories used by the NCHS and Census Bureau, the Census Bureau adjusted the NCHS data to be consistent with its own categories. The bureau calculated origin-specific birth rates for 2009 using its own population estimates for that year, then applied them to the estimated 2011 adult population to obtain its results.

Demographics of Motherhood-

Although the Census Bureau report does not provide data on demographic characteristics of mothers, a Pew Research Center report based on other data shows that there are marked differences in age, education and marital status among mothers of different racial and ethnic groups.

Among black and Hispanic mothers, births peak among women in their early 20s. For white and Asian mothers, births peak among women in their late 20s and early 30s. Looking at educational attainment differences among groups, most white and Asian mothers are college educated, while most Hispanic and black mothers are not.

In 2009, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, 41% of births were to unmarried mothers, but the shares varied for different groups: 53% for Hispanics, 29% for non-Hispanic whites and 73% for non-Hispanic blacks.

No big surprise; Hispanics will become the majority soon. We've known this.

While non-white births now outnumber white births in the US, the original statement that 50% of births in the US are to unwed latina mothers is nowhere near true. Latino account for about 25% of all births in this country.

In 2009 there were 4.1 million births. 2.2 million of them were white. 999K were hispanic and 609k were black with the rest split among the remaining races.

Also, from 1991 to 2011, according to the CDC the birthrate among hispanics has actually declined by about 50%.

This tells me there are plenty of hot, single Latino women out there.

Seriously though, whites have always been the minority race on the planet. Is this now shocking news to some people?

We need to go back to the gold ole days fast.

I miss slavery, witch burning, killing the red man and all the other fun times.

Nothing is as it was nor will it ever be.

Just out of curiosity, what is the radio show and and do you now see how far off their stats are?

BTW it would be "more than" not "over" even it was true.

I don't consider myself "privileged" at all. I was born white; Mommy was mommy and my Daddy died a US Marine in Vietnam. In 1969 my mommy was a single mother. We got by, eventually became middle class. I left home when I was sixteen, never looked back, and eventually joined the Marines and even later on went to get two college degrees. No one helped me at all.

On one hand the out right discrimination in the 1950s and 1960s and so on is staggering. I remember my grand mother called a white chick who had a black boyfriend a "zebra lover". But years later - decades later - my white daughter shouldn't be discriminated against because of something my grand parents did forty years before me.

Everyone has the same oppertunities I had. I dropped out of high school, was a drug user, joined the military, and put myself through college. It really wasn't that difficult.

Umm most hispanics that I know are about as religious as a priest that molest little boys. ie they might wear a cross on their reckless, but they sure as hell don't live very religious lives.

Fuck that.

The godfather of my child is black. He grew up in the whitest of towns in the world in Montana. He went to Notre Dame, is a architect, and has near $100k in school loans.

No fucking helped him. Not even a minority school loan.

[_Richard_]

this appears to be from a Time Magazine article from 2009, and the numbers are of course wrong

also what counts as 'latin' and 'hispanic' seems to be a little skewed, so that probably means that 'unwed' has a weird definition etc etc

thanks for the info about ur future posts
