  • Regional Groupings
    THE ITC STYLE GUIDE workload workstation rldwide worthwhile Regional Groupings 49 THE ITC STYLE GUIDE Country groups by region ITC staff and external writers frequently have questions about the use of regional groupings, and which countries apply. In all cases, ITC writers should use the proper country names. These are listed separately in this guide. Key terminology to use For regional groupings by development level, the UN uses the following broad terminology: developing countries, developed countries and transition economies. There is no established convention to designate developed and developing countries. Least developed countries (which currently total 47) are a subset of developing countries. Transition economies are in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Economies is a term used in economic writing among international organizations that refers to national economies. It is often used as a synonym for country. If you are writing in business terms, use the word “country” and not “economy.” Managing differences in terminology As part of the UN system, ITC follows UN practice. However, discrepancies exist between lists provided by the UN Statistical Division and UNCTAD. For example, UNCTAD notes that UNIDO uses the term ‘emerging industrial economies’, which is not used by the UN Statistical Division or by UNCTAD. This edition of the ITC Style Guide recommends that the listing from the UN Statistical Division be used as the first reference source. The list of countries and territories is included in full. Please use the list with care. Countries are sensitive regarding their regional groupings. Consult with the Communications and Events team, or the regional country offices in the ITC Division of Country Programmes if the lists in this edition do not address your writing needs.

  • The Size, Place of Birth, and Geographic Distribution of the Foreign-Born Population in the United States: 1960 to 2010
    The Size, Place of Birth, and Geographic Distribution of the Foreign-Born Population in the United States: 1960 to 2010 Elizabeth M. Grieco, Edward Trevelyan, Luke Larsen, Yesenia D. Acosta, Christine Gambino, Patricia de la Cruz, Tom Gryn, and Nathan Walters Population Division Population Division Working Paper No. 96 U.S. Census Bureau Washington, D.C. 20233 October 2012 This paper is released to inform interested parties of ongoing research and to encourage discussion of work in progress. Any views expressed on methodological, technical, or operational issues are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the U.S. Census Bureau. Abstract During the last 50 years, the foreign-born population of the United States has undergone dramatic changes, shifting from an older, predominantly European population settled in the Northeast and Midwest to a younger, predominantly Latin American and Asian population settled in the West and South. This paper uses data from the 1960 to 2000 decennial censuses and the 2010 American Community Survey to describe changes in the size, origins, and geographic distribution of the foreign-born population. First, the historic growth of the foreign- born population is reviewed. Next, changes in the distribution by place of birth are discussed, focusing on the simultaneous decline of the foreign born from Europe and increase from Latin America and Asia. The geographic distribution among the states and regions within the United States will then be reviewed. The median age and age distribution for the period will also be discussed. This paper will conclude with a brief analysis of how the foreign-born population has contributed to the growth of the total population over the last 50 years.

  • The Foreign-Born Population in the United States
    The Foreign-Born Population in the United States Since 1970, the foreign-born population has continued to increase in size and as a percent of the total population. Today, the majority of foreign born are from Latin America and Asia. Considerable differences exist among the different country-of-birth groups in various characteristics. About 1 in 4 children under 18 in families have at least one foreign-born parent. 1 Defining Nativity Status: Foreign Born and Native Born Native born – Anyone who is a U.S. citizen at birth • Born in the United States • Born in Puerto Rico • Born in a U.S. Island Area (e.g., Guam) • Born abroad of U.S. citizen parent(s) Foreign born – Anyone who is not a U.S. citizen at birth • Naturalized U.S. citizens • Legal permanent residents • Temporary migrants • Humanitarian migrants • Unauthorized migrants 2 Foreign-Born Population and Percentage of Total Population, for the United States: 1850 to 2010 Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Census of Population, 1850 to 2000, and the American Community Survey, 2010. 3 Foreign-Born Population by Region of Birth: 1960 to 2010 (Numbers in millions) Other areas Asia Latin America and the Caribbean Europe Note: Other areas includes Africa, Northern America, Oceania, born at sea, and not reported.

  • An ITC Guide to Style and Other Publishing Matters
    THE ITC STYLE GUIDE workload workstation rldwide worthwhile Regional Groupings 59 THE ITC STYLE GUIDE Country groups by region ITC staff and external writers frequently have questions about the use of regional groupings, and which countries apply. In all cases, ITC writers should use the proper country names. These are listed separately in this guide. Key terminology to use For regional groupings by development level, the UN uses the following broad terminology: developing countries, developed countries and transition economies. There is no established convention to designate developed and developing countries. Least developed countries (which currently total 48) are a subset of developing countries. Transition economies are in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Economies is a term used in economic writing among international organizations that refers to national economies. It is often used as a synonym for country. If you are writing in business terms, use the word “country” and not “economy.” Managing differences in terminology As part of the UN system, ITC follows UN practice. However, discrepancies exist between lists provided by the UN Statistical Division and UNCTAD. For example, UNCTAD notes that UNIDO uses the term ‘emerging industrial economies’, which is not used by the UN Statistical Division or by UNCTAD. This edition of the ITC Style Guide recommends that the listing from the UN Statistical Division be used as the first reference source. The list of countries and territories is included in full. Please use the list with care. Countries are sensitive regarding their regional groupings. Consult with the Communications and Events team, or the regional country offices in the ITC Division of Country Programmes if the lists in this edition do not address your writing needs.

  • African Immigrants in America: a Demographic Overview
    African Immigrants in America: A Demographic Overview Immigrants from Africa constitute a highly diverse and rapidly growing group in the United States. As Census data demonstrate, the African foreign-born population doubled in size between 2000 and 2010. Nearly half of African immigrants are naturalized U.S. citizens, and seven-in-ten speak only English or speak it “very well.” Just under three-quarters of African immigrants are black, while roughly one-fifth are white. The largest numbers of African immigrants are found in California, New York, Texas, Maryland, and Virginia. The top countries of origin for African immigrants are Nigeria, Ethiopia, Egypt, Ghana, and Kenya.1 Two-fifths of African immigrants have at least a bachelor’s degree, and more than one-third work in professional jobs. Between 2000 and 2010, the African foreign-born population doubled in size. The number of African immigrants in the United States grew from 881,300 in 2000 to 1.6 million in 2010 {Figure 1}.2 Figure 1: African Foreign-Born Population in the U.S., 2000 & 2010 1,800,000 1,606,914 1,600,000 1,400,000 1,200,000 1,000,000 881,300 800,000 600,000 400,000 200,000 0 2000 2010 Source: Census 2000 Special Tabulations (STP-159), Table FBP-1; 2010 American Community Survey, Table S0504.
