Health Insurance

We find it interesting how among the 9.4% total of those without health insurance in the US, Asian American takes up 7.5% percent of it, which is a huge portion. We further find it interesting how only 4% out of 67.7% of those with health insurance are Asian American.

Above I've included some statistics on AAPI workers in CA, which may be surprising to some. I think this data is important because it dispels the myth that all Asian people are financially and academically successful, which could be believed by teachers and affect the quality of student's education. - Olivia Roberts

This data is interesting because although the percentage of Asian Americans who have a Bachelor's degree or higher is way higher than the percentage of the US Total who have a Bachelor's degree or higher, Asian Americans have a higher percentage less than a high school degree compared with the US Total. Therefore, it may reflect a question of whether Asian Americans have abundant resources and assistance in high school as they are perceived as a model minority. Perhaps educators should reconsider their attitude towards Asian Americans and provide more support to them. -Judy Wu

Comparing Asian Americans to Native Hawaiians.

Hawaiians tend to have a lower income rate and lower percentage in completing a bachelors degree or higher in school. However, the Asian American population percentage in the US is an 36 times greater than the Native Hawaiian population, so that has to also be taken into consideration.

I decided to compare Asian-Americans, Koreans, and Bangladeshi. My main focus was comparing their education, it was something that I was most curious about. All of their percentages were pretty close. For the section Bachelor's degree or higher Asian-American was at 53.3, Bangladeshi was at 48.4% and Korean was at 55.9. Then for the section less than a high school degree Asian-American was at 13.2, Bangladeshi was at 15.8, and Korean was at 7.5. This was pretty interesting to see how all of the percentages were around the same.

I've compared the language and education data between Chinese, Korean, and Japanese because they are geographically close to each other. However, I find that the Japanese are generally more fluent in English and more likely to speak a language other than their native language at home. Education-wise, Japanese are pretty much the same in terms of high school degrees or higher, but the percentage of people who have less than a high school degree is significantly lower than the other two ethnicities.

We compared US Total population, Asian American, and Vietnamese. We noticed that Vietnamese race are statically more likely to reside in California which aligns with the US population and Asian America totals. We also noticed that Vietnamese population is less politically active than the Asian American monolith and are more likely to be registered as Democrat compared to the total US population. We noticed that most Vietnamese people have private health insurance compared to the US total population and the Asian American monolith. This is important because we can adjust the policies to make sure that different Asian American subcultures are recognized in terms of increasing college education for this group.

After exploring the website, we chose to compare and contrast Asian Americans and Filipinos. We realized that surprisingly Asian Americans are at a higher rate of poverty and less likely to complete a high school degree than Filipinos. Knowing this information, we as a group believe that including asian american history can create group talks. having open conversations about such can improve students' rate of graduating from school because people are more comfortable sharing their stories and opinions. this can help improve the education system and stop racism.

The data reflects a high representation of Democratic voters amongst all groups. 87% was the average turnout among registered voters for all groups. I feel like school policies can change by increasing their demographic instruction amongst groups of students in predominantly White schools.

One of the first major findings we saw was the disparity in bachelor's degrees between Asian-Indian, Chinese, and Laotian. Specifically. the difference between Asian-Indian and Laotian is astronomical. Another factor of note was the missing data on political participation for Laotians. Furthermore, we noticed a lack of representation for Mongolians, as we wanted to introduce them in the comparison but they were not available as an option. Lastly, the distribution of party identification among those represented (Asian-Indian and Chinese) was significant. One way that education could change to help address these issues is to acknowledge each group as their own community and not group them all as Asian Americans. This would allow each one to receive the specific attention and resources they need.

We decided to look for these areas because we think they are related to success and academic performance. But the numbers didn’t represent what we thought of. Culturally and historically mental health is an abstract convention most do not consider.

Taiwanese people has lower percentage rate of people who has less than a high school degree compare to Asian American, therefore have an advantage of getting better degree in education.

Language
When comparing Asian American and Taiwanese, Taiwanese has higher rate of people who has limited English proficiency , assuming Bachelor degrees or higher are mostly from 2 generation or higher.

One interesting thing is that senior poverty rate is a lot higher for Chinese and Vietnamese than Asian American. I think schools should lower tuition so that those seniors in poverty could afford tuition for their kids.

We found it interesting that Korean's have a higher percentage for higher education compared to Asian Americans and the US total, but they also have higher poverty levels overall. We assume the reason for the higher poverty levels for Koreans may be partly due to the "model minority" myth, and how people might assume Koreans and Asians in general don't need help because they are seen as successful. Hopefully, educational researchers can change their perspective by overcoming their prejudices over Asian Americans and providing them help when needed.

Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students who has non-economically disadvantaged have large gap in the math and English language arts. And also, they exceeded standards. Furthermore, Asian American have more higher rate at bachelor’ degree or higher.

Our group compared data between US total population, Native Hawaiian, and Asian American. In terms of high school, Asian American and population and Native Hawaiian population do recieve equal education in comparison to the general US population. However, in terms of higher education, it was slightly lower.

The image offered a comprehensive examination of how racial and ethnic identities, especially those of Asian American and Latinx communities, affect academic experiences and accomplishments. This covered how structural prejudices lead to lower expectations and achievements among Latinx students, as well as how preconceptions like the "model minority" myth affect Asian Americans. The data you submitted on Pacific Islanders brought to light differences in educational achievement, with lower rates of high school and bachelor's degree holders than the overall U.S. population.

US vs. Asian-American vs. Japanese: Tim Grack

2024-04-18 19:16:19 UTC

I compared U.S. vs. Asian-American vs. Japanese. For the data streams I decided to look at total population, education, and income & poverty. In my findings I found that Japanese and Asian-Americans have much smaller populations than the US total however the percentage of them with higher education is much higher overall. Both around 50 percent with the US total around 30 percent. I also noticed that across the three groups the US population had the highest overall poverty level. Overall this matters because it shows that certain students succeed better than others. Due to this fact schools can change their policies and perspectives by making sure that their curriculum is best suited to help all students succeed. This can be done by having more personalized education for different students based on their own learning ability.

Education and Health Insurance - Emily Casas

2024-04-18 19:16:25 UTC

I compared US vs Asian-American vs Filipino in education and health insurance. For education, Filipino has the least amount that does not get a high school degree. For bachelor's US total is lower than both. For private health insurance, Asian American is 4% and Filipino is 78.2%, US is 67.7% which is a big difference. I think school policies definitely need to take into account these types of data because you can't assume everyone in the Asian community gets the same level of education or health insurance. By looking at this data you can set policies that help those who need it instead of ignoring or being ignorant.

While looking through we noticed that in the seniors section, Vietnamese had the most percentage at 17.4%. This percentage is significantly greater than the Japanese and U.S. percentages. Vietnamese children also have the highest poverty percentage out of the entire category, which is shocking as well. To possibly combat poverty among the Vietnamese population, schools could focus more on Vietnamese children in terms of poverty, because we think they receive the least amount of attention because they're Asian. They may fall under the category of being model minorities, which may lead to them being overlooked.

One thing my group and I thought was worth highlighting was that the biggest disparity that we saw was college degree. This disparity is important because it correlates to the poverty rates. It also seems like it correlates to the income and poverty as well. Pacific Islanders are less likely to earn a Bachelor’s Degree or higher compared to Asian Americans and they are more likely to share poverty overall less likely to have health insurance (only 0.1% has health insurance compared to the 67.7% of the US Total).

2024-04-18 19:17:07 UTC

One thing I can infer from this set of data is that Korean's have a lower rate in regards to having less than a high school degree compared to Asian Americans as a whole, which is interesting to me because I realize that a lot of Asian Americans come from many different backgrounds and that as a whole there are a lot of other ethnic groups who live in poverty or are not able to receive proper education. - Aaron Lim

For asian Americans, Chinese, Japanese and Korean have relatively high education level, more than 50% of them have bachelor's degree or higher. Indian Americans have a relatively higher rate on education level, 74.5% of them got bachelor's degree or higher. The overall proverty rate is not that high, the average rate is around 12%. Most of them care about their health issues and have private health care, and more than half of these asian Americans have their own home in U.S.

Our group compared Asian American, Chinese, and Pacific Islander and found that Asian Americans and Chinese have higher rates in obtaining a Bachelor's degree or higher. We also thought that educators need to allocate their resources to help out all subcategories rather than Asian-Americans as a whole. We can also see that based on their education they have, there's a reflection on their poverty and homeownership.

Asian American, Chinese and US Total

2024-04-18 19:17:24 UTC

By comparing the Income and Poverty between these three groups, the truth is not the same as the stereotype says that Asian American is not the "Model Minority". For the Chinese, the share of poverty is higher than the US total, especially for seniors and children. I heard a story from my friend. He wants to apply a financial aid for the tuition of university. However, the advisor he met refused to provide financial aid because my friend is an international student from China. I think the approval of financial aid should not be decided just by race directly rather by considering the true situation of the student.

yingf10 — 2024-04-18 19:17:25 UTC

What we found is that Asian Americans and Chinese are very focused on education, and statistically speaking, even though their poverty rates are much lower than those in the United States, they are very focused on education. Data shows that 53.5% and 54.6% of Asian Americans and Chinese have a bachelor’s degree or above, which means that Asian Americans and Chinese seem to want their children to receive the best education possible. We think schools should know more about students’ needs and provide them with financial and educational resources. Try to meet the different needs of each student as much as possible to achieve educational equality.

Vietnamese Americans faced higher levels of poverty than Asian Americans as a whole. Furthermore, Vietnamese Americans also experience higher levels of limited English proficiency than both Asian Americans and the US total. They also have higher rates of speaking a language other than English at home than the other two groupings. Concerning the income & poverty statistics, educational researchers should adjust their perspectives to account for the traumatic histories of war and migration endured by Vietnamese American communities. Their financial struggle largely stems from resettlement policies that fragmented their social networks and situated them in under-resourced neighborhoods with other racial/ethnic minorities. Although Vietnamese Americans have established some sense of "home" and belonging through their ethnic enclaves, this data demonstrates how the economic system continues to marginalize them and prevent upward mobility. Schools should meet these students where they are, wherever their family is located on the socioeconomic spectrum.

Regarding the language statistics, school policies and educational researchers should endorse a more empathetic and inclusive pedagogy that embraces the different levels of bilingualism among Vietnamese American students, taking into account their home contexts and how their cultural background contributes to a unique subjectivity.

In these comparasion, in the education, the Chinese generally have a higher percentage on the Education than it on the US total. ANd it has a closely similarity compared to the Asian American in all of those age levels, except for the High School degree level. However, compared to the Education ratio, the percentage of the Income & Poverty is still higher than the Asian American's and even the US total, which represents a special relations and trends.

Comparing the Chinese population, the Asian American population, and the total U.S. population reveals significant differences in educational attainment, income levels, poverty rates, and political participation. Chinese and Asian Americans generally exhibit higher levels of educational achievement and median household income compared with the broader U.S. population.

Researchers can advocate for targeted support programs tailored to the specific needs of minority students, including culturally sensitive instruction and academic resources. They can also prioritize studying socioeconomic disparities and implement strategies to reduce income inequality and poverty, ensuring equal access to education for all students.

In addition, it is crucial to promote an inclusive educational environment that supports students from diverse backgrounds. Researchers may emphasize the importance of increasing the civic engagement and political participation of minority students to ensure that their voices are heard when educational policies and practices are developed.

We compared the data for Cambodians and Koreans. One of the biggest gaps we saw was in education in terms of Bachelor's degrees and less than a high school degree. Cambodians had a significantly lower rate of obtaining a Bachelor's degree and higher rates of having less than a high school education. Cambodians also had two times more children in poverty compared to Koreans. There is also significantly less Cambodians in the US compared to Koreans, which will affect the data.

Based on the data provided, it is evident Asian American and Chinese higher Education attainment is significantly higher than Pacific Islanders. Based on the knowledge of this course, we can infer it is plausible that pacific islanders may not have the same educational opportunities to their other asian counterparts

We found the relationship between Asian Americans and the US population to be interesting. This is because we generally assumed that the percentage of Asian Americans in the US was a lot higher, but in reality it was only 7% of Asian Americans in the entire country. In addition, in California, we thought there was a much larger Asian American population but there is still only 15% of Asian Americans in this state. From this relationship, we can infer that certain school policies or educational researchers may find difficulty in learning about Asian American students because certain areas are much larger population of Asian American students than others. This also ties into the disparities between opportunities and educational assistance for Asian students.

I found it very interesting that Native Hawaiians poverty level is higher that the US total in every category which can also link to the amount of education they are receiving. Native Hawaiians are also below the US total for reaching a bachelor's degree or higher. I think this matters because we should start to question why there aren't as many Native Hawaiians reaching a Bachelor's degree when compared to the US total and how this interlocks with Native Hawaiians poverty level.

I compared the data streams of US Total, Asian American, and Pacific Islander, and the estimates I chose to compare are education and health insurance. I noticed that Asian-Americans tend to have higher percentages on higher education degrees such as Bachelor's degree or higher, Pacific Islanders tend to have higher percentages on high school degrees, and US total also tend to have higher education degrees. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders tend to have higher pencentages for share without health insurance, however, US total tend to have a super high percentage on share with pricate health insurance.

We found that interesting that Asian Americans have a 13.2% rate of having less than a high school degree, suggesting that most individuals in this group pursue at least a high school level of education. While Interestingly, the Japanese group has a significantly lower rate of 4.5% for less than a high school degree. This exceptionally low rate underscores the strong educational attainment within this group. The national average is 12.3%, indicating that the rate of not completing high school is lower in the Asian American and Japanese communities compared to the US average.

We compared the education of Chinese, Filipino, and Korean. We noticed that for the Bachelor's degree or higher had similar outcome.

We also noticed that for less than a high school degree, Chinese had a higher population and that can be due to having a higher population in general comparing to Filipino and Korean.

Schools could offer more support to students who are learning English and make sure that lessons include different cultures. It's important to involve parents, even if they don't speak English well, because it can help students do better. Researchers can look into how these things affect students' success. Schools might need to give extra help to students who are struggling, especially those who may not have finished high school. This could be really important for kids who don't have much money. Colleges could try to understand where students are coming from when they apply, to give everyone a fair chance. Also, schools could work with local community groups to help students in many ways. All of this can make a big difference in giving every student an equal opportunity to succeed.

Asian Americans, Filipinos, US Total

2024-04-18 19:19:09 UTC

We decided to focus on Asian Americans, Filipinos, and US Total with estimates that centralized on the total population, education, income and poverty. We thought it was very interesting that at the Education level compared to the US total, Filipinos and Asian Americans have a very low margin of high school graduates. For example, Filipinos and Asian Americans have an estimate of 15% high school graduates. Out of that margin, about half of those students achieve a bachelor's degree or higher. We think schools should encourage and enforce more resources for these students just because it seems like they are "on their own" and are expected to do well in school. We also think instructors should provide mentorship and resources such as clubs, leadership opportunities, etc. to better their experience in schools.

The data we compared between Asian-Americans and Koreans was very interesting seeing as their is significantly smaller amount of Koreans that do not have a high school degree in comparison to Asian-Americans. However when analyzing the data in regard to B.A. degrees between the two groups there is little difference.

The data I looked at was comparing Asian American, Filipino, and Vietnamese communities. Looking at the differences in language, Vietnamese people had higher rates of LEP (50%) compared to the averages of Asian Americans and Filipinos. Filipinos had lesser averages of LEP (21.3%) compared to the general Asian American statistic (33.2%). This makes me think about how Tagalog has English loan words, which could make it easier for Filipinos to be more "proficient" in English. I think that there should be an emphasis on how students of different ethnic backgrounds may have more or less stuggle with learning English.

Filipino and Chinese (Matthew Guzman, Miranda Beckman, Tristina Nguyen, Kevin Martinez, Nancy Ramirez)

2024-04-18 19:19:52 UTC

We first compared Taiwanese and the U.S. population and found that Taiwanese has a significantly larger percentage of bachelor’s degrees in comparison to the U.S. population. Furthermore, we also compared the Filipino population with the Chinese population and found that the Chinese population have more bachelor’s degrees than Filipinos but significantly make up more of the share in poverty overall. We believe that these two comparisons have largely to do with population, with the U.S. population being larger than the Taiwanese and the Chinese being larger than the Filipino population. We came to a conclusion that when looking at disparities between populations that population size should be considered in order to provide environmental context such as neighborhoods and general community areas since they have huge impacts on policies and equity

fperezve — 2024-04-18 19:20:32 UTC

It is interesting to see the statistical data and it shows the disparity between the Asian-Americans from different ethnicities. In this case, I observed that Chinese have a higher percentage 54.6% and Asian-Indian 74.5% have a higher rate of bachelor's degrees. That is surprising. On the other hand, the Chinese show a higher poverty rate - it is alarming to know that despite them having higher education, they are higher in the poverty side.

Homeownership - Chinese and US. Jessica C.

2024-04-18 19:20:33 UTC

Chinese Americans have a higher homeownership rate (67.7%) than the US population as a whole (63.8%), which suggests that their economy is stable. This can have an impact on the availability and caliber of educational opportunities for Chinese Americans. This realization emphasizes the importance of taking socioeconomic issues into account when examining educational achievements across various groups, which is critical for educational researchers and policymakers. By recognizing these financial benefits, educational policy and resource allocation can be customized to better serve schools and communities where students may be less advantaged. In order to create truly equitable learning settings that meet particular community needs and may enhance academic results for all children, a sophisticated approach to educational equality is necessary.

This data is important because it shows on average asian students have less absents than the state average while pacific islander students have more absents. This data is important as it lets schools know which group of students they need to focus on to help them come to school and prevent them from being absent.

I couldn’t get my screenshot to load in, but I noted how it was interesting that the percentage of Asian Americans who pursued Bachelors degrees (or even higher) was higher than the US total, but the percentage of Asian Americans with high school diplomas was lower. This statistic was interesting to me because it seemed almost contradicting and makes the wonder about the possibilities as to why this could be.

I compared Asian American group and Asian Indian group, and I notice Asian Indian group has 74.5 percent of population have bachelor's degree or higher, which is extremely high compare to average level, which is 54 percent. At the same time Asian Indian group also has lowest poverty rate.

Education and Income/Poverty

2024-04-18 20:08:11 UTC

I decided to compare the correlation between education and income/poverty between the US, Asian Americans, and Koreans. The data shows that Asian Americans ( 53.5%) and Koreans (55.8%) have a very close percentage when obtaining a bachelor's degree. I interpreted this information as a way of demonstrating that although these two groups tend to be classified under one race there is still a 2.3% difference. Along with this, those from the US have a significantly lower rate (31.5%) compared to the other two groups. Overall, each group has their own experiences and varying resources that help guide them toward their success in higher education. Aside from this, it was interesting to see how the level of income an individual achieves is closely correlated with their income. In other words, since those in the US had a lower percentage of obtaining a bachelor's level or higher when compared to Asian Americans or Koreans, they also have a higher chance of living in poverty ( 14.1%).

I compared Bangladeshi people to Filipino people in America. I did this for two reasons. Reason one being my girlfriend is Filipino and has taught me a lot about her culture. Two; I picked Bangladeshi because that is what my next door neighbors are back home and they have too immersed me in their culture. One of the main things I noticed was the staggering difference in population size, with Filipino people having almost 20x the amount of Bangladeshi. I find it interesting that Bangladeshi and Filipino people have around the same percentage of people with a bachelor's or higher, yet the poverty rate for Bangladeshi people was 15% higher.
