In: Understanding Population Trends and Processes 7
This book investigates sociological, demographic and geographic aspects of aging in rural and nonmetropolitan areas of the United States. Population aging is one of the most important trends of the 20th and 21st centuries, and it is occurring worldwide, especially in more developed countries such as the United States. Population aging is more rapid in rural than urban areas of the U.S. In 2010, 15 percent of the nonmetropolitan compared to 12 percent of the metropolitan population were 65 years of age and older. By definition rural communities have smaller sized populations, and more limited healthcare, transportation and other aging-relevant services than do urban areas. It is thus especially important to study and understand aging in rural environments. Rural Aging in 21st Century America contributes evidence-based, policy-relevant information on rural aging in the U.S. A primary objective of the book is to improve understanding of what makes the experience of rural aging different from aging in urban areas and to increase understanding of the aged change the nature of rural places. The book addresses unique features of rural aging across economic, racial/ethnic, migration and other structures and patterns, all with a focus on debunking myths about rural aging and to emphasize opportunities and challenges that rural places and older people experience.
Pakistan has just more than half as many people as the United States but if the U.S. stopped accepting new international immigrants, at Pakistan's current rate, it will surpass the United States in population within 20 years. Pakistan is one of the world's most rapidly growing countries with an annual population growth rate of 2.4 percent. This rate of growth results in a doubling of a population every 30 years. Pakistan's population was a mere 32.5 million people when it won independence in 1947. In the sixty years since independence its population increased by more than 120 million to reach 166 million people. The current rate of growth for the United States, which is influenced by movement of a large number of people into the country, yields a doubling time of 120 years. For the U.S. and Pakistan, persistence of these same rates of population growth for 115 years would result in a staggering population of more than 2 billion for Pakistan At that time Pakistan would have a population that is 3.3 times that of the United States.

Abstract In 1988 the Census Bureau reported that 28.2 percent of the 20 million U.S. Hispanics lived in poverty. This research focuses on the relationship between poverty and the migration of Hispanic youth. Individual‐ and county‐level variables are incorporated into a logit analysis. An important finding is that Hispanic youth who are poor have higher ratios of migration than nonpoor Hispanic youth. Also, Hispanic youth residing in counties with higher rates of poverty are more likely to migrate than those living in more prosperous counties. However, these relationships change when multilevel interactions between individual and contextual variables are considered.
