Biography

 

 

Friday, February 12, 2010 Keynote Speaker

Richard Fry

Senior Research Associate

Pew Hispanic Center

 

 

 

Fry is a demographic economist, with expertise in the analysis of established U.S. education, labor market, and language data sets.  He pursues an empirical research agenda on minority educational outcomes and skill development.  His research has been published in numerous journals, including the American Economic Review, Industrial and Labor Relations Review, and Contemporary Economic Policy.  At the Pew Hispanic Center, Fry’s research has highlighted the different kinds of schools and colleges that educate Hispanic youth compared to other youth.  A recent report investigated the growth of Hispanic students in suburban school districts and its impact on diversity in suburban schools.  His recently published Pathways report documented the growing importance of school and college enrollment in the lives of young Latinos and the decline of other prominent endeavors, for example, military enlistment, among Latino teens.  He currently is examining the benefits of increased educational attainment for household economic status and the likelihood of marriage.
