Abstract
The current political climate notwithstanding, the United States will incur larger social welfare spending to support a growing number of elderly. Whether the nation can support the elderly adequately will depend on how successful it is in developing human capital in the growing segment of non-white children. This article presents future demographic trends, discusses limitations in the welfare approach, and offers an alternative approach to developing human capital in low-income children.Keywords
