The Burden of Support: Young Latinos in an Aging Society

by David Hayes-Bautista, Werner O. Schink, Jorge Chapa

This book takes as its focus America in the 1980s which, at the time, was undergoing massive demographic and economic changes. The bulk of the book deals with Latino demographic, social, and economic labor force participation, income, education, health, and political participation. It advocates that, in order to improve their situation, Latinos must understand their position as a group and as a community. The authors offer grounded speculation about the future of society, given two very important trends occurring the aging of the well-educated, Anglo Baby Boomer generation; and the growth of the much younger, less-educated Latino population.
