In the authors' response, scholars, policy leaders and the public are provided with the background and information that connects these two trends to contemporary public policy debates. Written with clarity and expertise, this book illuminates the changes and challenges that face the nation by concisely addressing a wide range of topics, including immigration reform, the politics of aging, and health and retirement security, and provides a glimpse of how the \"next America\" might look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors draw on current data about longevity, diversity and the growing Hispanic population in particular, to unfold the social, cultural, policy and political implications for an aging and diversifying population. With case studies and real-world examples, the book outlines and analyzes the possible impact of this phenomenon on issues like governance, public benefits, the long term care work force and national security, and builds a broader framework with which to understand them. With combined experience in academia, government and policy advocacy, the authors tackle the dramatic changes occurring across the United States and offer a road map to not only understanding but addressing these challenges and opportunities with reason and responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents the most current statistics and data on demographics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by an interdisciplinary team with combined experience in academia, government and policy advocacy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes case studies and real-world examples to build a broader framework of understanding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses social, policy, cultural and political challenges facing a rapidly changing population and offers rational and respectful responses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juan Fernando Torres-Gil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826194788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826194787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.06h x 9.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Juan Fernando Torres-Gil","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44449943912703,"sku":"9780826194787","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07e0d39c-c617-44d9-8997-6f41fd666208.jpg?v=1698501884","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-a-majority-minority-juan-fernando-torres-gil-9780826194787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
