Write a 8 page essay on Should explore the care that each of the major American subgroups: Caucasian American, African American, Hispanic/Latino American and Asian American provide for their respective elderly (65 and older) in each of their cultures.

The old age group is culturally diversified in contextual aspects, such as race, mores, gender, health, religion, and socio-economic status. The United States of America is a home to all races, religion and culture. It is populated by immigrating groups in quest of religious freedom, economic prospects or political protection, and by minority people who were victims of war and slavery (Adams & Ekerdt, 2002). Identified by the U.S. Bureau of Census (2000) are the five diverse racial groups—Caucasian Americans, Asian Americans, African Americans, Native Americans, and Hispanic/Latino Americans.

The highest rising and the most diverse race in the U.S. are the Asian Americans, with more than 40 ethnic groups of over a hundred languages/dialects. In 1960, Asian Americans were estimated at 1 million or 0.5% of the entire US population. Four decades after, they were estimated to be 10,242,998 or 3.7% of the populace. By 2025, the U.S. Census Bureau projected 100% increase. Around 70% of Asian Americans are not born in the U.S., and Asian immigrants comprise 2.6% of the total US population (Kramer, Kwong, Lee & Chung, 2002).

The Caucasian Americans, also called European Americans, or White Americans, are the largest but slowest growing group with the lowest poverty rate (“United States of America: Poverty and Wealth,” 2010), which began arriving after the Revolutionary War in the 1800s. In 1996, the Caucasian American group comprised 75% of the U.S. population and projected to be roughly 53% of the total U.S. population by 2050 due to its declining size (Day, 1996).

The more the population of the U.S is “graying,” the more it becomes culturally diversified. With the multiplicity of races residing in the nation, the government is faced with issues on employment and sustained income, adequate supply of goods, preservation of socioeconomic status, retirement benefits, and old-age care and services for the
