MPRC Seminar Series: "The Foreign-Born Population in the United States: Size, Distribution, and Characteristics
Description:
Speaker: Elizabeth M. Grieco, Chief, Foreign-Born Population Branch, Population Division, U.S. Census Bureau
According to the 2010 American Community Survey, there are 40 million foreign born in the United States, representing about 13 percent of the total population. This presentation answers two questions about the foreign born. First, how have the size and distribution of the foreign-born population changed over the last 50 years? Second, what are the characteristics of today's foreign-born population? I will begin by reviewing some basic migration terms, including "foreign born" and "native born", emphasizing how they are defined by the U.S. Census Bureau.
