WHAT: Day 2 of Aspen ThinkXChange kicks off with live Opportunity Outcomes 2024, a discussion on what future demographic shifts will mean for economic mobility in the U.S. By 2050, white Americans will be a statistical minority in the U.S., with no racial group comprising more than 50 percent of the population. What will families face as they pursue the American dream – and how will policymakers, nonprofits, and businesses respond? The upcoming live video for October 7 is:
