California has experienced immense shifts in demographic composition in recent decades, stemming from patterns of international immigration. Increases in populations which have traditionally experienced less educational success account for much of the past and anticipated growth. Coupled with differing returns to education by ethnicity, these shifts have important implications for individual well-being, demand for state services and state revenues. Using a projection methodology which incorporates educational attainment and nativity in addition to the standard elements of age, race/ethnicity, and sex, [the authors] examine the trends in composition of cohorts in the ages attending secondary and post-secondary school. [The authors] then use these projections to model the effects of four different regimes of student progress in the educational pipeline on state investments in post-secondary education and subsequent financial returns to the state.
