Youth in the USA
The United States is also ageing , with its older populati - on expected to more than double over the next two de - cades. By the year 2050, people who are 65 years of age and older will outnumber those who are 18 and younger. The expectations of this younger generation continue to change the social fabric of the nation.
The United States continues to see unprecedented mul - tiracial population growth while seeing a decline in its white population (by 8.6 % since 2010) for the first time in the nation’s history. These changes are having a tre - mendous impact on the country, from the overall politi - cal rhetoric expressed in the country to where people live and grow their families. There have been consequences to these developments as well, with the labor force re - ductions resulting in supply chain issues, not to mention the negative impacts on social safety net.
