Sample text

In the absence of programs that guarantee admission to higher education to representative numbers of Hispanics and other minority students, coupled with targeted programs to make up for inadequate secondary educations, the chances for upward mobility for the group as a whole will remain limited. It is true that traditional programs aimed at reducing high school dropout rates and supporting minority students in college are insufficient to greatly increase the number of highly educated Hispanic professionals.

Without an educated and articulate group of individuals who can frame the question of exclusion and further the core agenda of the group as a whole, 22 2 The Latin Americanization of the US Labor Force little progress will be made toward equity. In the last chapter, we cite the feminist movement’s success in framing issues related to gender exclusion as an effective example of what is necessary. We begin by documenting the rapid growth of the Hispanic population and draw upon a portrait of the Hispanic population provided by the Pew Hispanic Center that includes detailed analyses of the Mexican-origin population.

Among Hispanics, those of Mexican origin have the lowest level of educational attainment. In 2000, only 46% of the Mexican-origin population aged 25 years and older had received at least a high school diploma (Ramirez 2004). Unless the educational level of this population increases dramatically and rapidly, the working-age population of the future will be characterized by low productivity and low income. These lower educational levels and the large number of recent immigrants among Hispanics translate into lower household incomes for young working-age families (Angel and Angel 2006).
