Demographics- Continuity or Change?
Aired 11/15/2007
In 1790, the year that the first census was taken the population was 4-million. By 2000, that number had risen to 300-million, a 75-hundred percent increase. A question that has fascinated social scientists over the years is whether American society is characterized best by continuity or change. A look at recent data suggests an answer. Joining us are Joseph Chamie, Research Director of the Center for Migration Studies and former Director of the United National Population Division. And Gordon Green, former Chief of the Government’s Division at the US Census Bureau.
