The document provides information about Salvadorans in Boston from census data. It summarizes that Salvadorans make up about 11% of Latinos in Boston, concentrated in East Boston. Salvadorans have a median age of 30, lower educational attainment, and high labor force participation in service occupations. While Salvadoran households have a median income considered lower middle class, they experience higher rates of housing burden and lack of health insurance compared to other groups. The document examines Salvadoran demographics, living standards, and location within Boston.

In recent years, Richard Florida (Creative Cities) has highlighted the link between tolerance and a city’s ability to attract and retain the highly skilled and creative workforce that is required for high
technology industries to thrive. Florida finds that the presence of a visible LGBT population is an excellent indicator of tolerance. Yet most planners and planning documents look the other way
when it comes to acknowledging the presence of sexual and gender minorities within their cities. This session explores some of the critical issues surrounding planning for and with the LGBT community in the 21st century.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A severe global recession has brought heightened attention to poverty in the United States as the poverty rate rose over time, leveling off at 15.0% in 2011. Recent U.S. Census Bureau data demonstrates the persistence of higher poverty rates for African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Children, single mothers, people with disabilities, and other groups, for example. An earlier Williams Institute study and other research showed that lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB)
people we are also more vulnerable to being poor, and this
study updates and extends that earlier report.

Since the 1960s, the United States Government has de.docxjennifer822
Since the 1960s, the United States Government has defined poverty in absolute terms. This makes poverty more easily measurable. The "absolute poverty line" is the threshold below which families or individuals are considered to be lacking the resources to meet the basic needs for healthy living; having insufficient income to provide the food, shelter and clothing needed to preserve health.A large percentage of the governments poverty measurements depend on the price of food.
"Relative poverty" can be defined as having significantly less access to income and wealth than other members of society. Therefore, the relative poverty rate can directly be linked to income inequality.Means relative poverty can decline if rich people lose a lot of money.
The current poverty measure was established in the 1960s and is now widely acknowledged to be outdated. It was based on research indicating that families spent about one-third of their incomes on food — the official poverty level was set by multiplying food costs by three. Since then, the same figures have been updated annually for inflation but have otherwise remained unchanged.Yet food now comprises only one-seventh of an average family’s expenses, while the costs of housing, child care, health care, and transportation have grown disproportionately. Most analysts agree that today’s poverty thresholds are too low. And although there is no consensus about what constitutes a minimum but decent standard of living in the U.S., research consistently shows that, on average, families need an income of about twice the federal poverty level to meet their most basic needs.
Thirty-seven million Americans live below the official poverty line.One in eight Americans now lives in poverty.A family of four is considered poor if the family’s income is below $21,027.One third of all Americans will experience poverty within a 13-year period. In that period, one in 10 Americans are poor for most of the time, and one in 20 are poor for 10 or more years.
“One in eight Americans -- approximately 37 million people -- now live below the federal poverty line of $19,971 for a family of four. (A woefully inadequate measure that is 42 years old and fails to account for basic necessities.) That's 4.9 million more people than in 2000 and the poverty rate for children is the highest of all age groups. Nearly 60 million people live just above the poverty line. Using the British standard of measurement, approximately 30 percent of Americans --and 40 percent of American children -- are living in poverty.”
Eighteen percent of children are in poverty. 10.9 percent of working-age adults (between the ages of 16 and 64) are in poverty.9.7 percent of the elderly are in poverty. 13.8 percent of females and 11.1 percent of males were poor
The white non-Hispanic poverty rate is 8.2%. The poverty rate for African Americans is 24.5%. The poverty rate for Hispanics is 21.5%. The poverty rate for Asian Americans is 10.2%.

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.
O presente Perfil Migratório do Brasil é um dos quatro primeiros perfis sulamericanos produzidos pela Divisão de Pesquisas da OIM, em coordenação com os escritórios da OIM na região.

Even though Los Angeles was the primary destination for Salvador-
ans during the Salvadoran civil war, sanctuary initiatives help ex-
plain the migration of Salvadorans to other parts of the country
likeMassachusetts.
In the 1980s when Salvadoran population started rapidly increasing in the United States, it was
related to people being displaced by a decade-long civil war. The U.S. Justice Department did
not grant refugee status to Salvadorans, and many entered the country without visas. In re-
sponse to these displaced persons fleeing from political violence and human rights violations in
countries like El Salvador, and their having no legal immigration status in The United States, a
collaboration of religious and immigrant organizations worked with cities like Cambridge to be-
come “sanctuary cities.”
In 2015, 2.2 million people with Salvadoran origin lived in the United States.1
With an estimated
54,631 Salvadorans residing in Massachusetts, the state accounts for 2.5 percent of all Salva-
dorans in the country. Massachusetts has the eighth largest Salvadoran population. California
(32.2 percent) and Texas (14.6 percent) are states with the largest Salvadoran populations. In
the Northeast, New York (8.4 percent) and New Jersey (3.1 percent) have larger Salvadoran pop-
ulations. Boston is home to 27 percent of the state’s Salvadoran population.

Salvadorans in Boston
According to the 2010 Census, Boston had 10,850 Salvadoran residents, up from 6,067 in the
2000 Census. The American Community Survey reports that Boston’s Salvadoran population
had grown by 2015 to 14,980 (+/-3,846).2
Accounting for 11 percent of all Latinos in Boston, Sal-
vadorans are the third largest Latino population in the city. Other large Latino populations in-
clude Puerto Ricans (28 percent), Dominicans (24 percent), Colombians (6 percent), and Mexi-
cans (5 percent). Salvadorans are concentrated in East Boston (87 percent), and smaller shares
live in Dorchester (6 percent), and Roxbury (2 percent).3
Salvadorans’ median age is 30 years, older than other Latinos (27) but younger than non-
Latinos (32). Unlike other groups, Salvadorans are predominately male (55 percent). A larger
share of adult Salvadorans are married—36 percent. The majority of Salvadorans are foreign
born (70.7 percent), and 62.3 percent are not U. S. citizens. Almost 97 percent of Salvadorans
speak Spanish at home and only 28 percent speak English very well. A somewhat higher share
of younger Salvadorans under age 35 speak English very well (46 percent).

Educational Attainment | Salvadorans have a low level of educational attainment. Ap-
proximately two thirds of adult Salvadorans have not completed high school, and only 8 percent
have a Bachelor’s degree or higher.
Educational Attainment (ages 25 and older)
Labor Force Participation | A higher share of adult Salvadorans (79 percent) participate in
the labor force than other Latinos (66 percent) and non-Latinos (68 percent). Labor force partici-
pation is higher for Salvadoran men than women (84 percent vs. 73 percent).
Commute | A larger share of Salvadorans (35 percent) work outside of Suffolk County
than other Latinos (29 percent) and non-Latinos (33 percent). Salvadorans are much more likely
to travel to work on public transportation—59 percent compared to 42 percent for other Latinos
and 32 percent for non-Latinos.
School Enrollment | Salvadorans make up 3 percent of Boston residents enrolled in pre-
kindergarten through twelfth grade, but less than a third of a percent of Boston residents en-
rolled in college or university.
Employment | Over 92 percent of employed Salvadorans work in private sector payroll
jobs, with only 3 percent being self-employed. Nearly 55 percent of employed Salvadorans
work in service occupations, and only 5 percent work in managerial and professional occupa-
tions.

Standard of Living
Despite their low levels of educational attainment and English proficiency a lower share of Salva-
dorans live below the Census poverty line than other Latinos. However, only 13 percent of Sal-
vadorans have achieved a middle class standard of living, compared to 20 percent for other Lati-
nos and 46 percent for non-Latinos. A family income four times the poverty line is used as a
proxy for a middle-class standard of living. The actual income needed to achieve this standard
depends on family composition. For a two-person family in 2015, the poverty line is $15,391,
and a middle class income would need to be at least $61,564. The median household income for
Salvadoran-headed households is $54,728. Despite median incomes that may be considered
lower middle class and their high share of payroll employment, 14 percent of Salvadorans lack
health insurance.
Salvadorans are more likely to own their home own home (23 percent), than other Latinos (16
percent) but less likely than non-Latinos (37 percent).4
More than 52 percent of Salvadoran-
headed households are housing burdened and who pay more than 30 percent of their income
in housing costs, a similar housing burden rate to other Latinos. Almost 63 percent of Salvador-
an households own a car, a higher share than other Latinos (57 percent).
Most Salvadoran households are families (80 percent) and the average household size is 3.9,
much large than the average for non-Latinos, 2.1.

cent of non-Latino households. Even though 86 percent of Salvadoran children are native born,
95 percent of them have at least one foreign-born parent. Salvadoran children are less likely to
live in poverty than other Latinos, and over 99 percent of Salvadoran children in Boston have
health insurance.
