What major social developments will significantly affect politics in California during the next 10-20 years?
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. California is on its way to becoming an absolute majority Latino state; in 2014, Latinos outgrew the White population, becoming the largest racial/ethnic group (now a plurality). The Latino population tends to be younger, and the White population is aging. More than 54% of school children are Latino. Immigration, both legal and illegal, will continue, and the state's overall population is projected to grow to 50 million in the next 25 years. These demographic trends present challenges for politicians in the areas of education, health and human services, and infrastructure (housing, water, and transportation especially).
