News Releases IV
LOS ANGELES, California - A national research project-A New Latino Agenda: Realities on Aging, Diversity, & Latino Financial Security-has released its latest policy report, "Who Are the Latino Baby Boomers? Examining the Demographic and Economic Characteristics of a Hidden Population." Authored by researchers Zachary D. Gassoumis, Kathleen H. Wilber and Fernando Torres-Gil, the report looks at the historic convergence of aging baby boomers and the burgeoning Latino population. It also explicitly examines the people who fall into both categories: the Latino Baby Boomers, a population that the researchers say are largely invisible with little known about their socioeconomic characteristics.
