Demographic Projections and Educational Policy Issues.
Little, Dennis L.
Significant changes in various demographic patterns include a declining birth rate, regional shifts from the "Snow Belt" to the "Sun Belt" as well as a return to rural America, an increase in female labor force participation, a general change in family structure ("kids with kids," single parent families, unmarried couples, etc.), and changes in the racial and ethnic composition of the United States. Issues stemming from these population trends include: (1) making national policy for different regional impacts; (2) managing and developing school physical plants with uncertain information; (3) fewer clients but greater needs; and (4) fitting social science curriculum to social trends.
