PRB Reports on America

In 1998, PRB initiated a new publication series, PRB Reports on America, that provides interpretations of important and controversial domestic population issues and puts currently neglected issues in the public dialogue.

The reports published to date are:

• Government Spending in an Older America (PDF: 455KB), by Ronald Lee and John Haaga (May 2002)
• The Career Quandary, by Phyllis Moen (February 2001)
• The Rural Rebound (PDF: 437KB), by Kenneth M. Johnson (September 1999)

• The 2000 Census Challenge (PDF: 244KB), by Barry Edmonston (February 1999)

Prepared by leading scholars, each issue of PRB Reports on America is written in a clear and lively style for a wide range of audiences. When the reports are released, press briefings are held to acquaint journalists with the issues being covered. The series has become extremely popular. The reports are distributed free to a diverse audience of PRB members, educators, journalists, and Congress. PRB Reports on America is not published on a regular schedule. It is an occasional series.
