The U.S. Census Tradition

At the fractious Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787, America's founders conceived the idea of a national census to determine the number of representatives each state would send to Congress.

Alfred Lotka, Mathematical Demographer

Mathematical demography is rarely used in heated political debate. But the classic 1925 article "On the True Rate of Natural Increase," which synthesized years of work by Alfred Lotka and several collaborators, led off with a snipe at those who had just passed the most restrictive immigration law ever seen in the United States.

Citizenship Question Risks a 2020 Census Undercount in Every State, Especially Among Children

The addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 Census may put almost one in 10 U.S. households and nearly 45 million people at greater risk of not being counted―the question has been shown to reduce response rates. Undercount risk is particularly high among young children.

Life Expectancy Gains and Public Programs for the Elderly in Latin America and the Caribbean

Life expectancy in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has increased dramatically since 1950, largely as a result of medical and public health interventions that sharply cut the death toll from the most virulent infectious diseases and enabled many more children to survive to adulthood.

Longer lives have combined with lower fertility to produce profound shifts in the age composition of country populations: As people live longer and women have fewer children older people have begun to represent a growing proportion of the total population in the region and children a shrinking share. The National Institute on Aging (NIA) supports research that examines the social and economic implications of life expectancy trends and population aging. This newsletter highlights the work of NIA-supported researchers and others that can help policymakers plan for the well-being of aging populations in LAC countries, as well as offer insights to policymakers in other low- and middle-income countries.
