Latino heritage month: economic inequality and latinos | prosperity nowJoseMacias86
This document discusses economic inequality faced by Latinos in the United States. It notes that Latinos have lower levels of educational attainment and wealth compared to whites. While Latino college graduates earn more than non-graduates, they still earn only about 80 cents for every dollar earned by white college graduates. Median Latino wealth is $6,400 compared to $140,500 for whites. Even Latinos with college degrees have much less wealth, only about $33,000, compared to whites with the same education level. The growing Latino population faces significant ongoing challenges from racial economic inequality.

2019 State of Hispanic Wealth Report by NAHREP GREATER LAS VEGASJesse B. Lucero
The document summarizes the goals and background of the Hispanic Wealth Project, which aims to triple median Hispanic household wealth by 2024. It provides an analysis of recent economic indicators and trends related to Latino financial health. Key points include:
- Median Hispanic household wealth has increased 49.3% from 2013 to 2016, putting them slightly below the needed trajectory to meet the goal of tripling wealth by 2024.
- The wealth gap between Hispanic and white families has grown but proportionally decreased, with white households holding $8.30 for every $1 of Hispanic wealth in 2016 compared to $10.36 in 2013.
- Disparities in assets, such as home equity and investments, contribute more to the
The document discusses racial issues and tensions in Latin America, with tensions often drawn along white versus black and native lines. It also discusses several Latin American countries, including Venezuela which has abundant oil but lacks social infrastructure, and Mexico which struggles with debt but could merge further with the US. Finally, it suggests Latin America now faces a choice to develop independently or risk falling back into past mistakes, as China and the EU take a renewed interest in the region.
This document provides an overview of key demographic and economic statistics that define California as a state. It notes that while California has over 38 million residents and the 9th largest economy in the world, demographic profiles alone do not fully capture what makes California function politically, culturally, and socially. The document argues that to understand how Californians address challenges of unity amid diversity, one must look beyond numbers to examine characteristics of democracy like voting, politics, and the relationship between government and the people.
This document summarizes a report examining barriers to opportunity for children in Atlanta. It finds that the city remains highly segregated, with wealthier white communities in the north separated from poorer black communities in the south by Interstate 20. Children in southern neighborhoods face numerous challenges like high poverty rates, limited access to resources, and segregated, low-performing schools. The report examines how factors like Atlanta's history of segregation and urban renewal have contributed to deep inequities between communities that continue to shape children's life outcomes and opportunities along racial lines.
Diversity in the United States Final by GilSheppard ETH125.docx Sat. May 16,...Gilbert sheppard
The document discusses diversity in the United States. It notes that minority populations are expected to become the majority by 2050, with Hispanics growing the fastest. There have historically been challenges to diversity from European colonists not respecting Native Americans. However, diversity provides benefits like improved business and innovation. The media both supports diversity through educational content and shows prejudice at times in its coverage of issues. Overall, as diversity increases, working together across racial and ethnic groups will be important for community success.
This document reports on poverty in America. It finds that in 2013, about 48.8 million people, or 15.8% of the US population, lived below the poverty level. Those most affected by poverty include racial minorities like African Americans and Hispanics, families with children, people with disabilities, and the working poor. States in the South tend to have higher poverty rates. While the overall poverty rate dropped slightly in 2014, over 33% of people in poverty fell below half the poverty level and would need double their income to rise above it. Poverty continues to be a significant issue impacting millions of Americans each year.

This document summarizes the inequalities faced by migrant farm workers in the United States, with a focus on vulnerabilities experienced by female workers. It discusses the physical risks of farm work, lack of benefits and protections for injured undocumented workers, themes revealed through the Tomasita Project on the global food system including increasing distances and feminization of labor. It highlights how women, who make up 22% of farm workers, face greater exploitation through lower wages, sexual harassment and inability to report abuse due to fear of deportation. Female workers often serve as primary caregivers yet endure discrimination, unsafe conditions and being silenced from standing up for their rights.
This document profiles the Trinidadian population in Boston. It notes that approximately 3,500 people born in Trinidad and Tobago live in Boston, mostly concentrated in Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan and Hyde Park neighborhoods. The Trinidadian population in Boston is well-educated and has high labor force participation, though many work in service, construction or transportation jobs. Relative to other foreign-born groups in Boston, the Trinidadian population has higher rates of homeownership, middle-class income levels, and lower rates of poverty.
The document discusses demographic trends in the Atlanta area based on 2020 Census data and other sources. It finds that the Hispanic/Latinx population increased substantially in the Atlanta region from 2000-2020, and now represents over 12% of the population of the Atlanta metro area. The Hispanic/Latinx population increased in all areas analyzed and accounted for a significant portion of total population growth. The documents also projects that the Hispanic/Latinx population will continue to increase rapidly in the Atlanta region through 2050 based on Census forecasts.
The document summarizes the history and development of favelas (slums) in Rio de Janeiro from the late 19th century through the 1980s. It describes how freed slaves first began informally occupying hillside areas that lacked infrastructure and housing. Over time, as more people moved in, living conditions became more cramped and dangerous. The roles of women and men are discussed, with women having homemaker roles and little rights, while many men engaged in informal and dangerous work. Education levels remained low, especially in slums, and religion was predominantly Christianity. Crime increased with the rise of drug gangs and police corruption.

This article aims to analyze the causes of the popular uprising currently occurring in the United States that resulted from the murder of George Floyd, a black American handcuffed by a white policeman in Minneapolis, who knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes until he was dead. This event served as a starting point for a rallying cry in more than 100 American cities against, not only racism, but also against the social ills suffered by the great majority of the American population, especially by the black population, which were aggravated for the spread of the new Coronavirus that contributed to driving the North American economy into recession and to the dizzying rise of unemployment in the United States.

Avanse - Why Help International Street Youth? Avanse MicroProjects Series ...AvanseOrg
AVANSE MICROPROJECTS SERIES INTRODUCTION: WHY SUPPORT INTERNATIONAL STREET KIDS ?
Tuesday, February 24th 2015
Presented by Erin Broderick, Director, Secretary and Legal Counsel of Avanse
Hosted by New Generation Power
A conversation examining the unique and complex factors contributing to the street youth crisis in Latin America and the Caribbean in our NEW MicroProjects Series.
More than 100 million children are homeless worldwide, approximately 40 million of which live in Latin America and the Caribbean. Children living on the streets are especially vulnerable to victimization, exploitation, and the abuse of their civil and economic rights. Children often experience the effects of political, economic, and social crises within their countries more severely than adults, and lack the adequate institutional support to address and protect their special needs.
Attached is is the presentation by Avanse and Baker & Mackenzie's, Erin Broderick, an attorney dedicated to street youth advocacy, in a discussion regarding the legal, political, economic, and cultural factors that have perpetuated the street youth problem in Latin America and the Caribbean, the potential for change through global cooperative efforts, and the benefit to the US from investment in the initiative.
The Avanse MicroProjects are a series of focused initiatives intended to identify, cultivate and execute long-term solutions to the everyday obstacles faced by street kids. The program is structured to motivate our community to get involved in the process of developing solutions and directly contribute to advancing the lives of street kids in Latin America and the Caribbean. The series will continue every 4th Tuesday of the month where YOU, our partners, and Avanse will identify solutions to develop programs that impact these street kids' lives based on the research we conduct.
Avanse is a 501(c)3 nonprofit whose mission is to advance the lives of street kids in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Mexicans tend to be younger, more likely to be female, less likely to be married, and have higher rates of English proficiency than other Latino groups in Boston. The document also summarizes data on their education levels, occupations, income levels, housing situations, and other demographic characteristics.
The document provides information about Dominicans in Boston from the Boston Planning & Development Agency. It notes that Dominicans make up 24% of Latinos in Boston and 32,126 Dominicans reside in the city according to 2015 estimates. Dominicans have the lowest levels of educational attainment compared to other groups, with 35% lacking a high school diploma. Over 40% of Dominicans in Boston live below the poverty line. The document contains detailed demographic data and maps about the Dominican population in Boston.
The document discusses the growing multicultural populations in the United States and opportunities for multicultural marketing. It notes that minorities will comprise a majority of the population in many urban markets by 2020. Hispanic, Asian, and African American populations and purchasing power are growing rapidly. However, traditional targeting methods may not accurately identify ethnicities, languages, or religions. E-Tech claims to offer a solution to more precisely identify these groups using various data sources.
2018 State of Hispanic Homeownership Report by NAHREP GREATER LAS VEGAS Jesse B. Lucero
The 2018 State of Hispanic Homeownership Report published by the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals analyzes Hispanic homeownership trends in the U.S. It finds that in 2018, Hispanics achieved the largest net gain in homeowners since 2005, raising the Hispanic homeownership rate to 47.1%. Hispanics have accounted for 62.7% of net homeownership gains over the past decade and are projected to drive over half of new homeowners in coming years. Factors contributing to these gains include high rates of household formation, labor force participation, and population and income growth among Hispanics.
Spanish Speakers: Emergent Majority -BAUTISTA- Spring 2016Luis Carlos Chacón
This document provides an overview of trends related to the Spanish-speaking population globally. Some key points:
- The number of Spanish speakers in the US is growing significantly and the US is projected to become the largest Spanish-speaking country by 2050.
- Spanish speakers represent a large economic force, with the Hispanic community in the US alone representing the 14th largest economy worldwide.
- Countries with large Spanish-speaking populations like Mexico and Colombia are increasing their international trade relationships, while tourism in Latin American countries is also on the rise.
- Technology adoption is high among Spanish speakers, especially for streaming video, although access issues still exist for some communities.
This document discusses trends in ethnic and religious populations in the United States and opportunities for multicultural marketing. It notes that minorities now make up the majority in many major urban areas and their purchasing power is rapidly increasing. Specific groups discussed include Hispanics, the largest minority group, African Americans, Asians, and Native Americans. Their populations, cultures, assimilation trends, and projected purchasing power through 2045 are summarized.
As participants in the racial justice movement, my team and I feel compelled to democratize and build upon the work that we have done over time for philanthropy engagements.
NYC felt like a good place to start. It's my home, an epicenter of covid-19, and certainly no stranger to systemic racism.
Attached analysis, the first of many I hope, is not designed to be comprehensive, nor is it new information. It’s a snapshot; a reminder; an imperfect effort to play a part, however small, in advancing the anti-racism movement. It's built upon publicly available information and it belongs to the public. Feel free to use any of the data in your work. Meanwhile I welcome your thoughts, direction, content, ideas, resources, collaboration, all of the above. #justice #antiracism
The document discusses the Hispanic/Latino population in South Omaha and their cultural heritage, origins, and definitions. It notes that roughly one-fourth of US kindergarteners are Hispanic, and minorities will become the majority of children by 2023. The terms Hispanic and Latino refer to people with ancestry from Spanish-speaking countries but there is no single definition and identity varies between individuals.
This document discusses strategies for effectively marketing to ethnic and religious groups in the United States. It notes that the US population is becoming increasingly diverse, with minorities projected to become the majority in many urban areas by 2010. Specific groups discussed include Hispanics, African Americans, and Asians. For each group, data is provided on current and projected population sizes and purchasing power. The document emphasizes understanding differences within and between ethnic groups in terms of culture, values, and language preferences. It argues that identifying these characteristics for targeted individuals can enhance marketing efforts. The key tool discussed for this is E-Tech, a system that uses names and other data to predict ethnicity, religion, and preferred language with over 90% accuracy.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fourth of a series of
snapshots from Prosperity Now's Racial Wealth Divide
Initiative providing key data on racial wealth disparities
in America. The first snapshot looked at the racial
wealth divide facing Black Americans, the second
presents important facts for understanding how wealth
divides play out at the intersection of race and gender
and the third looks at the wealth outcomes of Asian
Americans.
Latinos in the United States are those with ancestral
roots from nations in the Americas whose primary
language is of Latin origin, including Mexico, Central
America, South America and much of the Caribbean.
Demographics
Latinos are one of the largest and fastest-growing
communities in the United States with a population of
56.6 million people. As of 2016, roughly 63 percent of
Latinos were of Mexican descent, 9.5 percent were
Puerto Rican, 3.8 percent were Salvadoran, 3.7 percent

Puerto Rican, 3.8 percent were Salvadoran, 3.7 percent
from Cuba, 3.3 percent Dominican and 2.4 percent
were of Guatemalan origin. Many Latin Americans tend
to reside in California, Florida, New York and Texas.
California alone has a population of 15.3 million
Latinos, the highest in the United States, followed by
Texas, with 10.9 million Latinos and Florida, with 5.1
million.
Income
Though America’s Latino population is growing, it is
still one of the most socioeconomically insecure. In
2016, Latino Americans had a median income (in 2016
dollars) of $46,882, about 20 percent less than the
national median, which is $59,039. This is about $8,000
more than African American median income ($39,490)
and $18,000 less than White median income
($65,041).
Interestingly, foreign-born Latinos (34 percent of total
Latino population) and native-born Latinos (66
percent) have very similar median incomes: $44,338
and $47,400, respectively. But a closer look at earnings
by national origin reveals more substantial di!erences:
4. 8/2/19, 4)37 PMRacial Wealth Snapshot: Latino Americans | Prosperity Now

Poverty Rates
The poverty rate for Latinos decreased from 23.2
percent in 2008 to 19.4 percent in 2016. Yet, the
poverty rate for non-Hispanic White Americans is only
8.8 percent, less than half the poverty rate of Latinos.
For almost 40 years, the Latino poverty rate has
consistently hovered around 20 percent, with a 1980
“Spanish Origin” poverty rate at 21.3 percent, a 22.3
5. 8/2/19, 4)37 PMRacial Wealth Snapshot: Latino Americans | Prosperity Now

percent poverty rate in 1990 and a 20 percent poverty
rate in 2000.
Employment and Unemployment
The Latino unemployment rate has dropped from 5.6
percent to 4.7 percent between 2016 and 2017 while
the national average unemployment rate was about 4.4
percent. 2017 data from the Bureau Of Labor Statistics
shows that native-born Latinos have an unemployment
rate of 6.8 percent, whereas foreign-born Latinos have
a lower rate of 4.7 percent.
The di!erence in employment rates between foreign-
and native-born Latinos could be due to the steady
demand for blue collar jobs foreign Latinos fill because
they have lower educational attainment. With respect
to labor participation, White Americans sit right above
the national average with 62.9 percent participation,
while Latinos and Black Americans participate at a rate
of 65.9 percent and 59.9 percent, respectively.
Latinas and Gender Inequality
Beginning with educational attainment, Latinas hold
more bachelor’s degrees (16.8 percent) or higher
compared to Latinos (13.8 percent), but they don’t earn
as much as Latino men. According to census data,
6. 8/2/19, 4)37 PMRacial Wealth Snapshot: Latino Americans | Prosperity Now
Page 6 of 8https://prosperitynow.org/blog/racial-wealth-snapshot-latino-americans
Latinas have a median income of $30,482, versus
$35,069 earned by males. According to 2016 data from
the American Community Survey (ACS), 7.5 percent of
Latinas are unemployed and 19.5 percent of Latino
households are led by women. By comparison, 9.4
percent of African American women are unemployed
and 27.4 percent of African American households are
led by women. Asian women have a 4.6 percent
unemployment rate and 9.1 percent of Asian
households are women-led. White women have a 4.7
percent unemployment rate and 9.9% rate for White
women led households.
Educational Achievement
Latinos have the lowest attainment of bachelor’s
degrees or higher. According to 2016 data from the
American Community Survey (ACS), as of 2016, only
about 15.3 percent of Latinos had a bachelor’s or
higher. In contrast, 35.7 percent of Whites had a
bachelor’s degree or higher, and 21.6 percent of
African Americans and 49.7 percent of Asian Americans
had the same. Foreign-born Latinos had a higher
proportion of adults with less than a high school
education at 28 percent compared to native born
Latinos at 8 percent. Interestingly, foreign-born Latinos
were just as likely as the native population to hold an
7. 8/2/19, 4)37 PMRacial Wealth Snapshot: Latino Americans | Prosperity Now
Page 7 of 8https://prosperitynow.org/blog/racial-wealth-snapshot-latino-americans
advanced degree: 13 percent versus 12 percent among
native-born Latinos.
Wealth
In 2016, the wealth of a Latino household was only
$6,300 compared to White Americans, who held
$140,500. However, in 2015, Latinos accounted for
some of the highest increases in homeownership – 69
percent of the net growth in the US. Currently, about
46 percent of Hispanic Americans own a home.
Nevertheless, Latinos still lag behind White Americans,
72% of whom own a home. The Latino
homeownership is slightly higher than that of African
Americans, which is 40 percent.
