Asian American, Chinese, and US total education level

# data[].attributes.body
Through the chart, we were surprised that the Chinese actually have the highest percentage on receiving bachelor's degree (54.6%). Although the Chinese are a huge amount of people in the world population, we all know that China is a developing country. We did not expect that the US total would be the lowest in achieving Bachelor's degree or higher since this nation is a developed country and they have rich teaching resources, given our understanding. But for the second-row data "High school degree or equivalent," we can see the US total's data are the highest(27.1%). We thought the high rate of high school and degree or equivalent related with this nation's resources. Lastly, in the "less than a high school degree" row, the Chinese data are the lowest(17.2%). We think it is the result that China has a huge population, and some areas are too poor to afford tuition to continue studying in middle school or high school. To sum up, these data can indirectly provide some resources that a nation can provide.

One thing that I noticed was the language barrier present not only in immigrants vt but also noticed that the percentage of asain-americans either don't speak English very well or have trouble speaking english, is somewhere between 76-80%. In our education we have to realize that we are a very diverse country as time keeps moving forwards and more biracial children will have a harder time when starting school. We also noticed that political participation when it comes to our government system, we saw that 93.9% had more turn out in voting compared to Asian- Americans with 87.4%. We see the tendency of of less turn out excuse Japanese are used to the type of government system where compared say Chinese are less used to that type of government system

I compared levels education, health insurance, and homeownership amongst the Chinese, Filipino, and Korean population. I noticed that the Chinese rank high in earning a bachelor’s degree or higher yet they have access to private health insurance at a 71.5% compared to the Filipino population of 78.2%. The percentage that seems to correlate the most is with the Korean population. There seems to be discrepancies between the Chinese and Filipino so some things to consider are what are the outside factors that allow the Filipino population to have access to private insurance at a higher percentage than the Chinese when the Filipino have the lowest percentage of having a high school degree or higher than a bachelor’s degree.

We were surprised to see that the top states by resident population is California for all of these three ethnicity. We even compared some other countries like Korea, China, Japan, then they seemed to have similar results even for second or third results... We also decided to compare the education level of Asian Americans as a whole with Cambodian populations, and the percentages revealed a contrast. Asian Americans with bachelors degree or higher is at 53%, while this same statistic for Cambodia is about 18%. In order to reach equity, we would suggest that the schools or organizations provide financial aids.

There seems to be a striking difference between Asian Indians and Samoans. For both ethnicities, their highest population is both California, but overall there seem to be more Asian Indians in the US(over 815,9480) compared to the much smaller population of Samoan's (around 40,179). I wonder if this disparency of population size might lead to a lack of community support which could be a reason why the education difference(74.5% of Asian Indians versus 16% of Samoans having Bachelor's Degree or higher) is so startling different. This education difference results in only 7.2% of Asian Indians being in poverty while nearly double, 17.9%, of Samoans are in poverty. The differences might be skewed a bit due to the population size differences, but one would think that the percentages for Asian Indians would be closer to Samoans rather then leaving them in the dust. I am curious as to why there is such a big difference and if this is because of population size and a lack of community or if there is another reason as to why this difference occurs.

Population wise, Taiwanese make up a small percentage of the Asian American population. However, Taiwanese have a much higher percentage of educational attainment (Bachelor degree or higher) than Asian Americans. Taiwanese also have a low percentage of people that do not have a high school diploma (3.8%), compared to Asian Americans. Taiwanese have a higher share in poverty overall compared to Asian Americans  (13.3%), and they also have a much higher share of seniors and children in poverty than Asian Americans. However, because of exclusionary policies and selective immigration, Taiwanese in America may be much more privileged than Taiwanese in Taiwan, and suffer from various social issues.

I compared the rates in education, income and poverty, amongst Filipinos, Pacific Islanders, and Vietnamese people.
The variance amongst these three groups truly does highlight the importance of focusing on all students. All the preconceived notions on Asian-American students and grouping them into a singular group hides the disparities amongst one another. No two students are having the same experience, and no two different ethnic groups will have the same percentages.

The poverty rates of Pacific Islanders are noticeably higher than both the US total and Asian Americans. Connecting to this is low rates of Pacific Islanders holding college degrees, with many of them stopping at high school education. The term AAPI is such an all inclusive term that kind of homogenizes a very diverse population. AAPI stretches from the Middle East all the way to the Pacific islands. To put all these different and unique groups of people under one umbrella and then to group all the issues and struggles that they face only will create more problems. The way AAPI is grouped is reminiscent of the way the British colonized India and grouped the wildly different religions and cultures under one term. Individual groups need to be recognized rather than using blanket terms in educational policies.

I noticed that Koreans had the highest percentage of people with bachelor's degrees or higher (55.9%) compared to Asian Americans and to the US. The difference between Asian Americans and Koreans in obtaining a Bachelor's degree or higher is not that significant though - with only a 2.4% difference between the two. With a High school degree or equivalent, there is a 2.3% difference but a 5.7% difference when it comes to "Less than a high school degree" between the two groups. It's interesting to note that the percentage varies depending on the kind of education and can possibly help educational researchers' perspective change as well as properly decide what grade level or specific area needs to have more focus on.

Asian American has a larger population than Japanese. It is interesting that China has a higher percentage of people who has a Bachelor's degree or higher compared to Japan. However, China also holds a lower percentage of people who has High school degree and less. Moreover, China has a higher poverty rate than Japan over all ages, meaning that the wealthy class is getting wealthier and people in poverty stay in poverty. This has shown that there is a close relationship between education and social status.

What we noticed in comparing specific ethnic groups to the Asian American category is how misleading the data can be for Asian Americans. The data between different ethnicities prove that the graph becomes skewed with outliers affecting the generalized data. This gives the public a false sense of success or despair. The poverty data is interesting because Asian Americans are below the average poverty line of 13% but we can see Pakistani and Vietnamese people have a higher poverty rate above the average. That means other groups are skewing the statistics. The same goes for education and language. When you highlight specific groups you see the stats could be way above the asian American standard or below and that is altering the way we think about the asian population as a whole and is making us generalize that each group is the same.

The biggest trend we noticed was the gap between Asian Americans in general compared to the Burmese and Filipino. In education, income and poverty, and homeownership, Burmese was significantly lower than the rest in rates. The lower rates of income seen with the Burmese shows a link with the lower eduction levels since they each affect one another.

As an Asian, there are many perspectives in educations. Our group saw the Asian people's college years data. Many people went to 4-YR College and there were small number of people who actually not went to the college. We compared our own lives as Asian to Educational Attainment in American states. Then we could see compared to the data we saw during lecture where Asian people went college more than 50%, there were less than 50% of people actually went to some college and got Bachelor's Degree.  However, by only looking at this we cannot judge all Asians are smart and they should go to good college.

My group mates and I found that the population growth during 2010-2018 among both Asian Americans and Chinese when comparing to US Total. We wonder what cause this growth specifically during this time period. I personally found that the political participation part was a bit funny since the majority of people voted for Clinton yet somehow Trump still got elected. As for the education aspect, it kind of reflects the "minority myths"? As Asian American communities have a lot of so-called "high achievers". However, Asian American also imposed a higher rate in people who attained less than a high school degree compared to the US Total.

The three groups that I compared where the US total, Asian Americans, and Asian Indian. It was pretty interesting to see their comparison in terms of education and poverty. Although Asian Americans have higher percentages of bachelor's degrees, their income is lower that the US total. That is surprising because school has this notion that the higher of an education the more successful you will be in terms of money. These comparisons show otherwise.

There was a difference between less than a high school degree and a high school degree when comparing Asian Americans and Vietnamese communities. But based on today's lesson, we can see how important it is to specify who researchers are finding data on. It is important for communities to receive proper representation since data be skewed.

We compared the U.S vs. Asian-Americans vs. Chinese. When comparing these three groups, we found that the Chinese population obtained greater education but have the highest poverty rate overall. A possible reason for this outcome is that we believe that Chinese immigrants come to America later in their adulthood, which can be more difficult to obtain a stable source of income. These statistics matter because SES directly impacts income, which ultimately shapes someone's life.

In comparing Asian American, Asian Indian, and Pakistani ethic groups while exploring categories of population growth , income & poverty, and health insurance we encounter a major difference in Population growth 2000 - 2018 (alone) within asian American's and Pakistani specifically there was 134 % difference. Despite the overwhelming gap between population growth, Pakistani populations showed twice as much share in both poverty and lack of health insurance then Asian Indian and Asian American populations.

Under the AAPI Data Website we chose the following three topics: population growth, education, and income & poverty. The selected groups were Chinese, U.S. total, and Asian American. The highest population growth out of the three were Asian American with 83.8% with Chinese running up in 82.2%. However, when it came to getting a bachelors degrees the U.S. had the lowest rate of 31.5%. U.S. being a complete outlier towards education for Asian American(53.5%) and Chinese(54.6%). As for the income and poverty rates they were all around the same lines and percentages. The percentages being within 11 to 15 percent.

We found that the percentage of educated people in US total is very even. But there is a big gap between the percentage of Koreans and Chinese who have higher education. The large gap between rich and poor families leads to a disproportionate difference in the percentage of students with or without higher education.

The groups that we compare were Asian Americans, US total, and Chinese. The data shows that a higher percentage of Chinese students receive a "bachelor's degree and or higher". Although it has a high percentage, among the three groups, it also has a high "less than a high school degree". In order to change that high percentage of "high less than a high school degree" we suggest that schools pay more attention to the struggles of Chinese immigrants. The systemic stereotype makes it have fewer opportunities for those who enter the US education.

For the education data, both Korean and Chinese have a high percentage of people with Bachelor's degree. In comparison to the Asian American data, they are about the same for all the education categories. We also looked at income and poverty, we saw that in China and Korea, there is a high percentage of seniors in poverty. While in comparison, Asian Americans have a low percentage of seniors that are impoverished. It shows that it is important to look at the individual countries statitsics because the overall category has misleading data.

The comparison of Population Growth between Pakistan, Taiwanese, and Thai Asians. 

# data[].attributes.body
One thing we noticed is that Pakistan has a higher population level primarily because their main export aside from textiles is agriculture. Families have so much land and fields to tend for, they tend to have more kids and therefore overpopulate. In context of American culture they prioritize large families.  We also noticed that there are different priorities within each culture that could possibly explain the fluctuations in population growth.

We discovered that homeownership was lower than the US total for Japanese people and higher for Filipino people. Japanese rates of poverty is higher than Filipinos, which can explain this phenomenon. One thing to note is that Japanese homeownership rates are lower than the US total even though there are less people in poverty overall. Around 20% of Japanese people have obtained a Bachelor's degree or higher than the US total, but they have lower rates of homeownership. Also, Filipinos have a higher rate 3%) without insurance.

We researched top states, education levels, and overall total population between these three ethnicities. We found that Filipinos have the highest education level, specifically higher Bachelor's degree (48.7%) compared to Cambodians (18.3%) and Nepalese (42.4%). This is important because there are still discrepancies between Asians, especially between South East Asians in particular.

We compared Pakistani, Laotian, and Vietnamese ethnic groups in data streams of poverty, education, and homeownership. One thing that was surprising was that the Pakistani ethnic group had the highest education, highest poverty, and lowest homeownership. With this information maybe schools could inform children that education is not the only factor to success because having the highest education does not always mean having the most money or being the most successful. Education does not always ensure a good life. Maybe include more resources or information regarding other methods of social mobility.

Something that i found interesting was the population of Pacific Islander , the outcome was california was the number one state where they reside in. I thought that was amazing. The immigration that this ethnic group had to overcome.

I looked at the difference in education and poverty between Asian Americans, Chinese, and Filipinos. You can see that while over half of Chinese people have a degree, they have 18x as many seniors and 6x as many children in poverty compared to all Asian Americans. This should be considered in educational research because this large gap can skew data about the incomes of Asian Americans and become an incorrect representation.

We found it really interesting that although Asian Americans had the highest amount of people with bachelor's degree or higher (53.5%) compared to the US (31.5%) and Vietnamese (29.6%), they still had the lowest amount of homeownership by a four and twelve percent discrepancy. That being said, they were twelve behind the Vietnamese population even though they had the highest poverty percentage. This is overall really interesting to address because these statistics show that your education does not have a direct correlation to your homeownership.

Our group noticed that Asian Americans have higher education levels (almost double) compared to the US total and Vietnamese population. These higher expectations can lead to more pressures on Vietnamese American students for higher academic achievement. Schools should stop grouping all Asian students together under one category to prevent these pressures from escalating.

Vanessa Chen, Tiffany Ren, Vivian Pham, Katelyn Aoki, Rosa Gonzalez

# data[].attributes.body
With the findings that the numbers are low for poverty rates it goes to indicate that and reinforce the schools stigmas that Asian Americans have a set future and are smart. Schools policies might even decide not to do any changes.  As we can see as average there is about 53.5% 3ho have a bachelors or higher. Showing that a vast majority continue  higher education. Yet as there still that percentage that is in poverty and not obtaining degrees schools need to change polices to make sure they are not dismissive and give everyone the opportunity to get help assist them because not everyone has the ability to comprehend. Therefore that stigma should be gone.

We found the differences in education levels between Taiwanese and Vietnamese living in America quite shocking. There is approximately 50% more Taiwanese that graduate from college than Vietnamese people. This difference may be due to the different economic backgrounds of the two ethnicities. Perhaps Taiwanese have a higher socioeconomic status than Vietnamese which is what led to them having a higher graduation rate.

We chose to compare Pacific Islander, Asian Indian. and Chinese people and noticed the large gap between each of the groups in education. Specifically, the large gap between Asian Indians and Pacific Islanders as there is a nearly 50% gap between the two, yet, they are still grouped together under one monolith of "Asian-American". Within the confines of education this is harmful to students because it treats multiple different ethnic groups under a single category.

Disparity between Asian American, Japanese, and Bangladeshi Income level

# data[].attributes.body
When looking at the mean of "Asian American" income level, it is misleading when purely taking it as a number. One might think that 11% is relatively low, and assume that most, if not all Asian Americans are well off. However, when comparing the "Asian American" average to the income level of individual ethnicities, you get a better understanding of the picture. Bangladeshi poverty rate is 2x higher than the average, while the average poverty rate of Japanese in America is lower than the average. Therefore, we should not clump all Asians in one group, as it is detrimental to the goals of the education system
