The Next America: Boomers, Millennials, and the Looming Generational Showdown

Due to the influx of immigrants of over the past few decades and changing values among younger generations, the United States is becoming more ethnically and culturally diverse and tolerant.  Also, because of advances in medical technology and preventative health care, Americans are living longer than ever.  Given these major changes, the portrait of our nation will be significantly different by mid-century. 

In this book, Paul Taylor of the Pew Research Center examines these demographic changes and other major trends that are transforming our nation.  Although he delves into some of the challenges that our nation faces in upcoming decades, overall the book paints an optimistic view of America’s future.
