HispanicTips » birth rate

Recession leads to drop in birthrates in California – 3.2% decline in births to Hispanic mothers from 2007 to 2008 — the largest one-year decline in at least two decades – “That seems to be because a lot of working-age and childbearing-age Hispanics are moving out of state to take jobs elsewhere, coupled with the fact that the border crossings” into the U.S. from Mexico “have declined.”

Study shows Latinas have highest birth rate

Tomas — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:03:49 +0000

"Although Latinas tend to have less education and earn less money than most women, they have the highest birthrates, according to a newly released report from the Pew Hispanic Center.
The fertility rate of Latinas is one-third higher than that of non-Latinas. Immigrant Latinas tend to have the most children, while U.S.-born Latinas have the highest rate of single motherhood."

Teen Pregnancy Higher Among Minnesota’s Latinas

Tomas — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 17:28:48 +0000

"Perhaps a record number of Latina teenagers in Minnesota are getting pregnant today, and community leaders are working to reverse it.

Minnesota’s teen birth rate increased 7 percent between 2005 and 2006, according to the St. Paul nonprofit Minnesota Organization on Adolescent Pregnancy, Prevention and Parenting (MOAPPP). The organization reported that this increase is more than twice the increase at the national level.

Among Minnesota’s Latina teenagers, however, MOAPPP reported a considerable 13 percent increase in the teen birth rate from 2005 to 2006."

Latina teen pregnancy rate deserves recognition as national crisis

Tomas — Wed, 07 May 2008 18:11:04 +0000

"Today is the National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. It's a day that should be solemnly observed by every Latino family with teenage children. Why?

Because while the overall national rate of teen pregnancy has declined, it has actually increased among Latina girls. Sarah Brown, CEO of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, said, "The teen pregnancy rate for Hispanic teens increased slightly between 2003 and 2004 and, for the first time, Hispanic teens now have the highest rates of both teen pregnancy and births. Also, data released in December 2007 show a 3% increase in the teen birth rate between 2005 and 2006, the first increase in the teen birth rate in 15 years.""

Teenage Birth Rates in Massachusetts Highest Among Hispanics; Legislation Needed To Address the Issue, Experts Say

Tomas — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 17:42:56 +0000

"Births to Hispanic teenagers living in the western part of Massachusetts -- a state with one of the lowest teen pregnancy rates in the nation -- are more prevalent than teen births among other groups and the rate is growing, a health expert said at a conference on Monday, the Springfield Republican reports.

According to Patricia Quinn, executive director of the Massachusetts Alliance on Teen Pregnancy, who spoke at an event sponsored by the Youth Empowerment Adolescent Health Network, 65% of teenage births in Springfield, Mass., were to Hispanics in 2006, up from 48% a decade earlier. Sarah Perez-McAdoo, co-founder of the network and an obstetrician-gynecologist at Baystate Medical Center, said the Hispanic teenage pregnancy rate in Massachusetts is six times higher than that of non-Hispanics.

Hispanic families – Bad news from California – The vaunted Latino family is coming to resemble the black family – (in terms of the number of children born to single mothers)

tomasz — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:33:24 +0000

"Whether Cuban, Mexican or Puerto Rican, most Latinos revere la familia. But the Hispanic family is changing. In the past ten years the birth rate among unmarried Latinas has risen from 89 to 100 per 1,000. It is now much higher than the rate among black or white women (see chart). Late last year came a significant but little-noticed announcement: probably for the first time, half of all Hispanic children in America were born out of wedlock.

The Latino family is not in such a dire state as the black family, where 71% of children are born to single mothers. Yet the gap appears to be closing. In 1995 the unmarried teenage birth rate for Latinas was 20% lower than the rate for blacks. It is now 12% higher. This is not just a worry for socially-conservative preachers. More than half of all young Hispanic children in families headed by a single mother are living below the federal poverty line, compared with 21% being raised by a married couple."

"The Latino population in Virginia has tripled between 1990 and 2006 with more than 460,000 Latino citizens and immigrants residing here, according to a University of Virginia study.

High birth rates and migration to the state by Latinos looking for jobs have fueled the population growth, said Qian Cai, the author of the study. She is director of the University of Virginia’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service’s Demographics and Workforce section.

Programs target high birth rate among Hispanic teens – Hudson Valley, New York

Tomas — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 16:06:57 +0000

"Westchester Jewish Community Services works with 150 to 200 girls through a combination of programs in Port Chester, New Rochelle, White Plains, Ossining and Sleepy Hollow. The agency has also created bilingual peer advisory groups in which high school students are trained to lead discussions about sexuality and other topics with parents of other teenagers. Because the students and parents don't know each other, they can speak more candidly and honestly, said Rosalia Kullock-Sosa, a psychologist who developed the program."

Boomers fates are tied to immigrants

Tomas — Tue, 15 May 2007 16:22:50 +0000

"The quality of life for some 80 million graying baby boomers in the U.S. may depend in large part on the fortunes of another high-profile demographic group: millions of mostly Latino immigrants and their children. With a major part of the nations population entering its retirement years and birth rates falling domestically, the shortfall in the work force will be filled by immigrants and their offspring, experts say. How that group fares economically in the years ahead could have a big impact on everything from the kind of medical services baby boomers receive to the prices they can get for their homes."

Initiative to Reduce Latino Teen Pregnancy Launched

Tomas — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 17:37:56 +0000

"Latino teens (46% of boys and 51% of girls) say that parents most influence their decisions about sex, according to a new nationally representative survey released by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. Even so, Latina teen girls (63%) are less likely than their peers (74% of White and 66% of Black teens) to say they have had a helpful conversation with their parents about delaying sex and avoiding teen pregnancy. And fully three-quarters of Latinos (73% of adults and 75% of teens) believe that parents send one message about sex to their sons and a different message to their daughters. Teen pregnancy and birth rates among all teens have declined by about one- third since the early 1990s. Even so, the Latino teen pregnancy rate is almost twice the national average and has declined about half as fast as the national rate. At present, the National Campaign estimates that 51% of Latinas get pregnant at least once by age 20 (compared to 3 in 10 nationally). In addition, a new summary analysis of existing data prepared by the National Campaign also shows that the birth rate for Latinas aged 15-19 increased in 17 of 47 reporting states and the District of Columbia between 1990 and 2003. For these reasons and others, the National Campaign has begun a new initiative focused specifically on helping the Latino community in its efforts to reduce continued high rates of adolescent pregnancy and childbearing. The official launch of the new initiative takes place at a forum on Capitol Hill, Wednesday, March 28, 1:30-2:30 pm, in Room HC-8 of the Capitol Building. Leaders of the National Campaign, members of our Latino Initiative Advisory Group, as well as members of Congress will be on hand for the launch event. (Visit http://www.teenpregnancy.org/initiative for more detailed information.) Other findings from the survey include: -- Most Latino teen boys (57%) say they often receive the message that they are expected to have sex and half of Latina girls (54%) say they often receive the message that attracting boys and looking sexy is one of the most important things they can do. -- The majority of sexually experienced Latino teens (62% of boys and 74% of girls) say they wish they had waited. -- Seven in ten Latino teens (74% of girls and 65% of boys) say they wish they were getting more information about abstinence and contraception, rather than either/or. -- Fully 82% of Latino teens agree that religious leaders and groups should be doing more to help prevent teen pregnancy. -- One in five Latino teens (20%) say that being a teen parent would have no effect (13%) or actually help (7%) teens to reach their goals for the future. About the survey. The survey canvassed 1,037 young people age 12-19 and 1,162 adults 20 years and older -- including an over-sampling of Latino adults (202) and teens (221) -- and provides nationally representative estimates of each age group. The telephone surveys took place between September and October 2006 and were conducted by International Communications Research (http://www.icrsurvey.com/), an independent research company. To read the embargoed survey, visit http://www.teenpregnancy.org/voices. Funding. This new initiative of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy is made possible thanks to the generous support of our Latino Initiative sponsors, in particular our lead sponsor, the Turner Foundation (http://www.turnerfoundation.org/). Visit http://www.teenpregnancy.org/espanol/donors.asp to view a complete list of our Latino Initiative sponsors. About the National Campaign. Founded in 1996, the National Campaign is a private, nonprofit organization with the goal of reducing the teen pregnancy rate by one-third between 2006 and 2015.

A culture of young motherhood: Teen pregnancy remains an issue in Santa Cruz County – California (part 1 of 2)

Tomas — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 14:49:18 +0000

"Watsonville shoulders much of the burden of teen pregnancy in Santa Cruz County. In 2005, four of every five births to county teens aged 15 to 19 were to Pajaro Valley girls, according to the Community Assessment Project report. Meanwhile the countys overall teen birth rate has dropped dramatically since 1996, more than 18 percent. But the bulk of the decline is in Santa Cruz. During the same 10 years, Watsonvilles decline has been barely noticeable. "

DosCentavos.net: Hate & Fear Will Dominate Texas Lege ‘07

Tomas — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 02:19:54 +0000

""If we do nothing, in 10 years, just based on the current birth rate, were going to have 50 million illegal immigrants and their children in the United States. Our country will change totally. Our culture will be gone," said state Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler. "Weve been invaded without firing a shot." Boy, Im looking forward to being included, along with anyone with brown skin, in the Texas Republicans attempt at ethnic and cultural genocide . With Berman rhetorically firing the first shot at Texas Latinos in 07 with such a targeted, downright racist comment, its on"

Among the states with the largest increases were Kentucky (80 percent), South Carolina (62 percent), Alabama (53 percent), Tennessee (53 percent) and Arkansas (40 percent), the report found.

Experts Warn Of Impact Of Aging Europe. (A problem the US doesn’t have mainly because of immigration)

Tomas — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 11:39:50 +0000

"The changing demographics could put Europe at a competitive disadvantage with the United States, where birth rates haven't taken a nosedive -- in part because of the growing Hispanic population. Hispanics accounted for almost one-half (1.3 million or 49 percent) of the U.S. nationwide population growth of 2.8 million between July 2004 and July 2005, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures."
