Report: America's Hispanic Children
Gaining ground, looking forward

For many groups of children, there's significant research to inform decisions meant to promote their healthy development. This is less true when it comes to Latino children, yet this group is the nation's fastest-growing. Today, a new report presents a rich, nuanced statistical portrait of Hispanic children in the United States, drawn from nationally-representative data. One notable area of growth highlighted in the report is in education. The report is a product of the Child Trends Hispanic Institute, with support from the Televisa Foundation.

New Demographics

A landscape of rapid change

Today, nearly one in four U.S. children is of Hispanic origin; by 2050, more than one in three will be Hispanic. In a vibrant slideshow, we tell the story of U.S. Hispanic children through numbers. We highlight areas of challenge and opportunity in demographics, economics, family, education, health, and media use. These slides are the basis for the above report.
