Addressing Latinx mental healthcare disparities with community engagement

Abstract

This report summarizes results from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2014 National Projections, with a focus on changes in the age structure and shifts in the racial and ethnic composition of the population-both the total population as well as the native and foreign born. 2014 NATIONAL PROJECTIONS This report is based on the 2014 National Projections of the resident population by age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, and country of birth (nativity), and include demographic components of change-births, deaths, and net international migration. The projections, based on the 2010 Census and official estimates through 2013, were produced using cohort-component methods. Such methods project the components of population change separately for each birth cohort (persons born in a given year) based on past trends. The base population is advanced each year by using projected survival rates and net international migration. A new birth cohort is added to the population by applying the annual projected fertility rates to the female population. The projections cover the period 2014 to 2060. The 2014 National Projections are the first series of Census Bureau projections to incorporate separate assumptions about the fertility of native and foreignborn women. Differentiating assumptions about fertility by nativity is expected to better account for the effects of international migration of the foreign born on changes in the size and composition of the total U.S. population.
