  10. The 5th demographic stage

  11. The 5th Stage – Multi-Culturalism • Stage 4 countries attract immigration from pre-Stage 4 countries • The immigrant population will have a larger percentage in the childbearing ages range • The immigrant population will have a higher birth rate

  12. Stage 4 and Pre-stage 4 status of country of birth for foreign-born U.S. population, 1990-1997

  16. Disentangling Race and Class Race Class

  17. Example • 2002 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), n=93,386 • N=33,148 adults age 40+ with complete data on income, race and ADL • African Americans, n=4473 (12%) • Income, <$20K=6813; $20K-$75K=19,504; >$75K=6831 • At least 1 ADL = 1043 (2.8%)

  18. ADL regressed on race

  19. ADL regressed on Income
