Demographics and the Demand for Higher Education Audiobook (Free)

Advanced schooling faces a looming demographic surprise. Decades-long patterns in fertility, migration, and immigration persistently nudge the united states toward the Hispanic Southwest. As a result, the Northeast and Midwest-traditional advanced schooling strongholds-expect to lose five percent of their college-aged populations between right now and the mid-2020s.

In Demographics and the Demand for ADVANCED SCHOOLING, Nathan D. Grawe is rolling out the bigger Education Demand Index (HEDI), which relies on data about Demographics as well as the Demand for ADVANCED SCHOOLING through the 2002 Education Longitudinal Research (ELS) to estimate the probability of college-going using fundamental demographic variables. Analyzing demand forecasts by organization type and rank while disaggregating by demographic organizations, Grawe provides separate forecasts for two-year schools, elite organizations, and everything among. The near future demand for university attendance, he argues, depends critically on organization type. Even though many institutions face unpleasant contractions, for example, demand for top notch schools is likely to grow by more than fifteen percent in potential years.

Essential for administrators and trustees who are in charge of recruitment, admissions, student support, tenure practices, facilities construction, and tactical planning, this book is certainly a useful guide for navigating coming enrollment challenges.
