1980-1990 TRENDS
oAmerica enters 1980s with population tilted toward working age
Americans as Baby Boom children become adult workers.
oPopulation getting older - median age of 28 in 1970 going to 35 by
year 2000.
olVomen participating, in work force in same proportion (did not say
to same degree) as men.
oGrowth in population from 221 million to 242 million by 1990.
oContinued shift of population from central cities to suburbs and
regionally, into the sun belt.
Public Administration faced with:
--adjustments in education budgets with declining teen-age
population
--social friction with Blacks, Hispanics, women and Baby Boom
children competing for better jobs and pay
--possible decline in high rates of juvenile crime
--increasing demands for services by the elderly who will
become an increasingly powerful voting bloc
--pressure for more public transportation given energy costs
--major expansion of day-care centers and nursery schools to
accommodate working mothers.
Quote from December 1978 Report: Domestic Consequences of United
States'Population Change, Select Committee on Population, U. ouse
of Representatives:
"49. More often than not, our people and their
elected and appointed officials are not equipped to
cope intelligently with population decline, because our
Nation since its pioneer beginnings has been accustomed
to the assumption of growth and expansion, not decline
and contraction."
