Description

To outsiders, the state of Utah frequently conjures many unsurprising stereotypes and images: Mormons, polygamy, large families, national parks, and skiing. Is there more to Utah and its residents than these generalizations? Few doubt that the religious institutions in Utah have an effect on the state’s quality of life in many ways. But it’s equally true that a large number of features of the population are incessantly and profoundly altering the very nature of Utah and its residents. This book describes the many fundamental demographic, social, and economic pressures with a view to likely alter the state’s path sooner or later.
Utah’s leading social scientists and population-related scholars draw on their specific areas of expertise and analyze Utah’s population the use of latest sources of data such as the 2000 U.S. Census. The chapters are organized into three broad topical sections: the foundations of Utah’s population (basic demographics), how the nature of the population affects our day-to-day lives (quality of life issues), and the public policy challenges with a view to face Utah’s leaders (emerging issues).
