The document is a report by the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) Research Division on high-skilled immigrants in the Massachusetts civilian labor force. Some key points:
- Immigrants accounted for 17.9% of the Massachusetts workforce in 2010, up from 10.2% in 1990. Foreign-born workers almost doubled in number over this period.
- In 2011, there were 580,000 foreign-born workers in the Massachusetts workforce, accounting for 17.7% of the total. High-skilled workers made up 42.4% of the state's workforce, with 15.8% of high-skilled workers being foreign-born.
- The majority of high-skilled
The document provides an overview of high-skilled immigrant workers in the Massachusetts civilian labor force. It finds that immigrants now make up 17.7% of the state's workforce, with foreign-born workers almost doubling in number between 1990 and 2010. Around 37.7% of foreign-born workers in Massachusetts are high-skilled. The majority of high-skilled immigrant workers have at least a bachelor's degree and are concentrated in a few counties and occupations. Nearly 80% of high-skilled immigrant workers are white or Asian.
The decennial census determines the allocation of hundreds of billions of federal program dollars. Federal agencies and private entities use data on race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, age, and disability to determine where disparities exist and where community groups could assist. This workshop brings together professionals working to collect data for the census to discuss recently analyzed data with community groups searching for information to support program objectives and goals.

The document discusses using digital marketing to promote an education event called WEEXPOINDIA VIRTUAL 2020 in Chennai, India. A study was conducted where 243 respondents answered questionnaires about digital advertising and other factors influencing their intention to visit the event. The results showed that digital advertisement had a more powerful influence on changing visitors' behavior than non-digital marketing, especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study concluded that successful promotional strategies should focus on digital marketing for its efficiency and ability to enrich experiences, while also considering other factors like attitudes and perceived behavioral control.
This document summarizes trends in the Limited English Proficient (LEP) workforce in Massachusetts. Key points include:
- The LEP population in MA grew by 20% between 2000-2012, with higher growth rates in some metro areas like Greater Boston and Worcester.
- LEP workers in MA earn 25-40% less than English proficient workers and are more likely to be in poverty.
- LEP workers are concentrated in low-paying occupations and industries like construction, food service, and childcare.
- The early education and childcare workforce in MA, which grew significantly in recent decades, includes many LEP immigrants at lower wage levels.
- Projections estimate continued growth in

- The document analyzes data on high-skilled foreign-born workers in the Massachusetts labor force, comparing those with U.S. degrees versus foreign degrees. Key findings include: half have U.S. degrees and half have foreign degrees, with those with foreign degrees more likely to hold graduate degrees and be older. The top countries of origin vary between the two groups. Limited English proficiency is more common among those with foreign degrees.
This document provides a summary of demographic data on immigrants and foreign-born residents in Boston from 2013-2014. Some of the key findings include:
- 27.1% of Boston's population is foreign-born, higher than Massachusetts and the U.S.
- The top countries of origin for Boston's foreign-born residents are Dominican Republic, China, Haiti, Brazil, and Jamaica.
- Boston is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse, with non-Hispanic whites now making up less than half the population.
- Over 40% of Boston Public School students speak a language other than English at home.
- The neighborhoods with the highest percentage of foreign-born residents are East Boston
This document summarizes a report by the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) Research Division on high-skilled foreign-born workers in the medical industry in Massachusetts. It finds that 12.4% of medical workers in the state are foreign-born and highly educated. The largest shares come from India, China, and Canada. Over half are between ages 25-44, and 58% are female. Most work as health diagnosing/treating practitioners or life scientists.
Boston's economy has grown steadily over the past decades. Key points from the document include:
- Boston's gross city product has increased at an average annual rate of 2.7% since 1970.
- The city's largest industries are health care, education, and finance. Health care employment grew by over 35,000 jobs between 2001-2013.
- The city has seen strong job growth, adding over 100,000 jobs between 2003-2013, outpacing national growth. By 2013, Boston had nearly 699,000 total jobs.
- Boston workers are highly productive, generating $157,152 in GDP per worker in 2013, 33% higher than the national average. The city's core
The document describes the Labor Market Assessment Tool (LMAT), which was developed by the Boston Redevelopment Authority and others to analyze occupational and industry trends in the Greater Boston labor market. The LMAT uses various data sources to provide information on over 800 occupations and 1200 industries, including job requirements, wages, and employment projections. It can be used to examine the compatibility of industries and workforce skills, identify key skill requirements, and inform curriculum development. The document then discusses how the LMAT has been used to analyze English language proficiency trends and needs in the changing demographics of the Greater Boston workforce.
The document discusses labor market integration of Boston's foreign-born workforce. It finds that between 2000 and 2006, Metro Boston's foreign-born workforce increased by almost 94,000 people (32%) and the workforce with limited English skills increased by 37%. However, 18% of the foreign-born workforce has less than a high school education compared to 6% of the native-born, and close to half of new jobs created will require at least modest English skills. Additional investment in ESOL could help more foreign-born workers gain higher-skilled, higher-paying jobs and boost the regional economy.
Immigrants make up about 7% of Minnesota's population and are an important part of the state and local economy. In Saint Paul specifically, 17.9% of residents are foreign-born. Immigrants fill important roles as workers, entrepreneurs, consumers, and taxpayers. While they have some short-term costs, studies show their long-term economic benefits to Minnesota outweigh these costs. Immigrant contributions include working in sectors with labor shortages, starting small businesses, spending in the local economy, paying taxes, and bringing important skills and networks that support economic growth.
This document summarizes demographic data about Boston from a 2015 report. It finds that in 2014, females comprised 51.8% of Boston's population. The largest racial/ethnic groups were White (46.8%), Black/African American (21.1%), and Hispanic (18.7%). Females had higher educational attainment and labor force participation than males among younger age groups. The poverty rate was higher for females across all age groups. The foreign-born population accounted for 27.1% of Boston residents, with top countries of origin being the Dominican Republic, China, and Haiti. Spanish was the most commonly spoken non-English language.
The document discusses trends in the Baby Boomer population in Boston from 1970 to 2013. It finds that the Baby Boomer population in Boston peaked in 1980 at around 237,000 but has since declined by about 50% to around 119,000 in 2013. Additionally, the foreign-born share of Baby Boomers living in Boston has increased from 13% in 1980 to 37% in 2013. On average, Baby Boomer households have higher incomes than the overall Boston population, with a median household income of $57,600 compared to $50,000 citywide.
The document summarizes a presentation given by Alvaro Lima of the Boston Redevelopment Authority about the labor market integration of Boston's foreign-born population. It finds that between 2000 and 2006, the foreign-born workforce in Metro Boston increased by 94,000 people, while the number of workers with limited English skills grew from 55,000 to 88,000. It also notes disparities in educational attainment and wages between native and foreign-born workers, and projects that future job growth will require higher language skills, emphasizing the need to reduce long waitlists for English language classes.
Latinos are a growing and important part of Boston's population and economy. They currently make up 18% of Boston's population and have accounted for much of the city's population growth over the past few decades. Without the growth in the Latino population, Boston's overall population would be much smaller today and its labor force and economic output would be significantly lower. However, Latinos in Boston also face higher levels of poverty and lower levels of educational attainment and English proficiency compared to non-Latinos. They are more likely to work in certain industries and occupations. The future growth and success of Boston will continue to depend on the contributions and integration of its Latino residents.

Young adults ages 18-34 make up 39.4% of Boston's population. Most are single, childless, and renting their homes. Many are enrolled in school or live in dormitories. Over half are white and over three-quarters are native born. Their median income is $35,000 and most commute via public transportation rather than cars. While many are transient, most local movers remain within Suffolk County.
This document summarizes how immigrants have contributed to Boston's continued population and economic growth over the past decades. Some key points:
- Boston's population grew 18.9% between 1980-2010 due largely to immigration, which accounted for over half of population growth. Without immigration, Boston's population would be barely larger than in 1980.
- Immigrants make up 28.4% of Boston's population and hold 27% of jobs in Suffolk County. They generate 24% of the county's economic activity and $25.9 billion in GDP.
- Boston has become more diverse due to growth in the Hispanic and Asian immigrant populations. However, barriers to integration remain, as 27% of foreign-born
This document analyzes workforce trends in the Boston metro area between 2000-2006 and 2004-2014. It finds that the foreign-born and limited English proficiency (LEP) populations grew significantly faster than the overall workforce between 2000-2006. Additionally, the vast majority of new jobs created between 2004-2014 will require at least moderate English skills, whereas growth in low-skill jobs will be limited. This underscores both economic challenges around human capital for the region and quality of life challenges for the growing LEP population.
This document discusses the importance of immigrants to Boston's continued prosperity based on a presentation given on April 19, 2017. It provides the following key points:
- Immigrants have played a major role in Boston's population growth, increasing diversity, and economic output. They comprised 28.4% of Boston's population in 2015.
- Without immigration, Boston's population would be barely larger than it was in 1980. Immigrants also make up a significant portion of the city's workforce and business owners.
- While progress has been made in immigrant integration, barriers still remain. Approximately 27% of foreign-born adults lack a high school diploma and 30% have limited English proficiency.

The 2016 and 2017 Surveys of Consumer Payment Choice: Summary ResultsCoach Market
The 2017 Survey of Consumer Payment Choice finds that consumer payment behavior has remained stable over the past decade. Debit cards, cash, and credit cards continue to be the most commonly adopted and used payment instruments. In 2017, 92.3% of U.S. consumers had a bank account, while 44.9% had a nonbank payment account. Adoption of mobile payment apps grew significantly from 2015 to 2017. On average, consumers made 70 payments per month in 2017, with debit cards accounting for 31.8% of payments, cash 27.4%, and credit cards 23.2%.
Between 1990 and 2010, Boston's foreign-born population grew from 114,597 to 167,311, now accounting for 26.7% of the city's population. Half of East Boston's residents are foreign-born, the highest rate of any neighborhood, while the North End has the lowest at under 11%. The top countries of origin for Boston's foreign-born residents are the Dominican Republic, China, and Haiti. Immigrants contribute economically through their spending, small businesses, and employment across various industries like healthcare and food services.
Immigrants make up 29% of the adult working age population in the Boston area and are essential to the local economy and many industries. The document analyzes survey data on Boston area immigrants and their role in the workforce. It finds that immigrants constitute 27% of employees aged 25-64 and are over 20% of the workforce in many industries like hotels, home health, and hospitals. Employers in industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and banking were interviewed and expressed that immigrants are central to their ability to operate and serve customers. Restricting immigration would significantly hurt these industries and the Boston regional economy.
This document from the Boston Redevelopment Authority presents statistics on immigrant populations in Boston and Massachusetts from the 2014 American Community Survey. It finds that 13.2% of the US population is foreign born, compared to 27.1% in Boston. The largest foreign-born groups in the US are from Mexico, China, India, and the Philippines, while in Boston they are from the Dominican Republic, China, Haiti, and El Salvador. Charts show differences in education, employment, income, and poverty levels between foreign-born and native-born residents at the city, state, and national levels. Maps show concentrations of foreign-born populations and recent immigrants across Boston neighborhoods.

The document discusses the history of immigration and citizenship laws in the United States from the 18th century to present day. It notes that early laws only granted citizenship to "free white persons" and that various laws throughout American history placed restrictions on immigrants from Asia and Latin America. While some policies tried to encourage European immigration, others essentially banned immigration from China and criminalized Mexican migrant workers. The document argues that current policies under Biden have not meaningfully addressed the root causes of migration and have continued harsh enforcement approaches.
O documento discute as migrações transnacionais e como elas desafiam as perspectivas tradicionais sobre migração. Ele explora como os migrantes vivem em países de origem e destino ao mesmo tempo, mantendo laços econômicos, políticos e culturais entre ambos através de plataformas transnacionais. O documento também discute como as políticas migratórias precisam reconhecer e apoiar essas realidades transnacionais.
This document introduces a research agenda on transnational social protection (TSP). It argues that traditional theories of social welfare and migration have focused too narrowly on nation-states and fail to account for how people living transnational lives obtain social protections that cross borders. The document defines TSP as protections for people on the move that come from multiple nation-states, as well as non-state actors. It introduces the concept of a "resource environment" to map sources of TSP over time, space, and among individuals. Several empirical examples are provided to illustrate TSP dynamics. The research agenda aims to advance understanding of emerging TSP arrangements and their implications.
This document discusses transnational social protection in a world where more people live outside their country of citizenship. It defines transnational social protection as policies, programs, and institutions that provide social protections like healthcare, education, unemployment benefits, etc. in a transnational way. Individuals piece together resources from states, markets, NGOs, and social networks across borders. While some gain new protections, inequality is redistributed rather than eliminated as rights, residence and citizenship are decoupled from each other and the nation state.

This report provides data on gender in Boston broken down into several categories:
- Females make up 52% of Boston's population but 57.3% of seniors. They are slightly more likely to be black or Hispanic.
- Younger women are more educated - 47.6% of women 18-64 have a bachelor's degree vs 43.6% of men.

Boston's immigrant labor force makes up nearly 30% of the city's total labor force. While immigrants traditionally came from Europe, current immigrants are more likely to come from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia. Over 70% of immigrants in Boston's labor force arrived since 1990. Less than half are naturalized citizens, and about half speak English proficiently. Compared to native-born workers, immigrants are more likely to be older, less educated, and from non-white racial groups. The report examines the socioeconomic characteristics and labor market integration of these immigrant workers.
Brasileiros em Portugal: de volta às raízes lusitanas traz informações, até então não publicadas, sobre esse importante fenômeno migratório, além da análise de dados produzidos por órgãos oficiais dos dois países e por estudos anteriores. A emigração brasileira para Portugal tem suas raízes na expansão ultramarina, no longínquo século XV. A chegada da Coroa Portuguesa à Terra de Santa Cruz impulsionou esta importante conexão que ao longo das décadas se estruturou e, continuamente, se “re”estrutura. A obra apresenta uma análise criteriosa da relação interdependente entre Brasil e Portugal, com suas históricas nuances permeadas pela migração de seus povos. Passando pela migração bilateral durante o Brasil Colônia, Império e no período pós-independência, o livro discorre sobre os diferentes aspectos desses fluxos, que é um dos mais relevantes da emigração brasileira.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
