Demographics And Higher
Education In Minnesota
Presentation to Citizens League

May 2004
Minnesota Ranks Highly In
Education Attainment
•
Ranks 11th highest in percent age 25 and older with at
least a bachelors degree
•
Ranks 2nd lowest in percent age 25 and older with less
than high school diploma
•
•
Educational attainment improved substantially in the 90s
•
Migration also added people with levels of education
attainment
Part of the reason for Minnesota’s high rank is the state’s
low proportion of minority people

Increased Diversity
Will Affect Higher Education
Minnesota’s High Rank Partially
Due To Lack Of Diversity
• Minnesota’s minority population is growing
rapidly, especially in younger ages
• One reason for Minnesota’s high rank in
education attainment is its lack of racial
and ethnic diversity
• A major challenge facing Minnesota higher
education is increasing participation of
minority students

Distribution Of The Population
Will Influence The Delivery
Of Education Services
New Suburbs Are Receiving Most
Of The Growth
• Minnesota is growing faster than its neighboring
•
•
states
Most growth is in the growth donut around the
Twin Cities
Many areas of rural Minnesota have
experienced long term population loss and aging
• Political power in the legislature is increasingly
reflecting the shifts

Higher Education Critical
To Future Economic Growth
The Level of Future Economic Growth Will
Depend Ever More On A Highly Productive
Labor Force
• Slower growth of the labor force will place more
importance on increasing per worker productivity
• Minnesota’s labor force growth will depend
largely on continued activity of older workers
and migration to the state
• Training of young Minnesotan’s, retraining of
older workers and training and certifications of
migrants will be key roles of education

Projections for 2010—Labor Force
• Labor force will increase to a range of 2.9 mil
and 3.1 mil, increases of between 7% and 16%.
• Uncertainty about labor force growth results from
uncertainty about migration and labor force
participation, especially over 60.
• Most growth will be among 45 to 64 (increase of
32% to 39%). Age 24 to 44 will see a decline as
much as 10%.

Higher Education Workforce
Is Also Aging
Higher Education Workforce Is Also
Aging
• Corresponds to overall aging of the workforce
and especially the government workforce
• Many instructors, administrators, and other
workers are in their 40s and 50s
• Will higher education also face a retirement
boom in the next decade?

Trends In College Age
Population And Enrollment
Aging Population And Enrollments
• Traditional college age population will
increase this decade then level off
• K-12 enrollments have already begun to
decline
• Extrapolated future enrollment shows little
change over the next 25 years
• Most future growth will be in middle-aged
to older population likely changing the
ordering of budget and society priorities

Impact Of Aging
On Higher Education
Aging Will Have A Profound Impact
On Society
• Most future growth will be in middle-aged to
older population
• Overwhelming growth in the older population will
likely change the order of budget and society
priorities
• Aging also offers some opportunities for higher
education—training for new careers, training and
certifying volunteers, learning for fun
