      The racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. population is rapidly changing in response to decades of sustained large-scale immigration. In 1950, non-Hispanic Whites made up the vast majority of the population (90%). As of 2020, non-Hispanic Whites made up 58 percent of the nation's population, and the Census Bureau projects that they will compose only half by 2044 (Colby & Ortman, 2015). These trends are occurring even more quickly for children and young adults. As early as 2018, non-Hispanic Whites made up less than half (49.9%) of the nation's population under age 15. What should schools and educators anticipate over the next three decades? How is the school-aged population (ages 5-17) likely to change with respect to its racial and ethnic composition, generational status, home language, and educational attainment? Employing an innovative microsimulation model, the authors project both growing diversity for most places in the country, and reductions in the sociocultural distances between racial and ethnic groups. Overall, the number and share of children with Latin American and Asian roots will increase in the future. At the same time, the share of Hispanic and Asian children with U.S.-born parents will increase. Under social conditions in which groups are treated equitably, these compositional changes are likely to be accompanied by reduced sociocultural distances between groups, especially with regard to English language usage at home, educational attainment, and ethnic identity.
