Question

Interpret "US Hispanicization" considering migratory currents and fertility rates. How this will impact the future of the USA?

Answer 1

"US Hispanicization" refers to the growing Hispanic population in the United States. As per the US Census Data of 2010, Hispanics make up about 17% of the total population of the US. It is estimated that the total number of Hispanics in the country is about 38 million. The major contributors to this demographic change have been states such as  New Mexico, Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, Kansas, and Maryland. While are a large number of this Hispanic population consist of immigrants, there also many families whose Hispanic roots in the country can be traced back to hundreds of years ago.

This change in the US demography through Hispanicization is bringing about a lot of positivity not just culturally but also socially and economically. Hispanic communities are now taking broader leadership roles in reshaping the economy for the better. The Hispanic labor force contributes about 0.21 percentage points to annual real GDP growth of the US and this is expected to increase significantly in the coming decades. One recent survey has predicted that by 2025, the Hispanic community is likely to contribute more to US GDP growth than the non-Hispanic labor force. Similarly, the Hispanic community has brought about a significant change in the cultural diversity of the nation that the country should feel proud to celebrate.
