AFN In Transition, 2000-2010

This preliminary report by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) explores the critical transitions of Alaska Natives from 2000 to 2010. Highlighting demographic changes, the report reveals a relatively young population grappling with unique challenges, diverse regional dynamics, and a significant portion living outside of Alaska. It notes trends such as increased multi-ethnicity and varied growth rates across regions and age groups. This analysis serves as a foundational overview of where we are, how we have changed, and potential future directions for Alaska Native communities.

Where we are… A Snapshot of Alaska Natives in 2000 • Relatively young population facing unique challenges and change • Large regional differences in demographic composition and patterns of change • Roughly equal distribution of male and female Native Alaskans • Large share of Alaska Natives live outside of Alaska AFN in Transition, 2000-2010

  18. How we have changed … General trends since 1990: • State population growth has been greater among Alaska Natives relative to non-Natives • Regional growth rates varied, but by far the Southern region grew most rapidly – mainly due to out-migration from other regions and states • The cohort of Alaska Natives between ages 10 and 18 now comprise the largest share of the Alaskan Native population • The share of Alaska Natives aged 40-55 experienced the fastest growth since 1990 and comprise the second largest share of the population • Alaska Natives aged 70-74 and 85+ grew roughly at an annual rate of 6% AFN in Transition, 2000-2010

  19. How we have changed … General trends since 1990: • Population distribution between males and females has remained relatively constant • Infant Mortality rates have declined but large regional differences persist among Alaska Natives and infant mortality rates remain double non-Native infant mortality • Alaska Natives are increasingly multi-ethnic • Changes in the 2000 census invalidate Alaska Native population growth statistics based on straightforward comparisons to the 1990 census; the choice of a bridging method will strongly influence the statistics used in determining Federal and State appropriations AFN in Transition, 2000-2010

  36. Where we will be … What can we expect in 2010 and beyond: • A large increase in the share of 19-29 year olds – these changes will likely lead to: • Large wave of new entrants into the labor force • New “baby boom” • Less of a demand for elementary education between 2000-2010, but growing demand after 2010 • Greater demand for higher education • A large increase in 40-60 year olds - this change implies: • Large Alaska Native labor force – without adequate labor demand in rural areas out-migration and unemployment can be expected to increase • Growth of Alaska Native retirees after 2010 • An increasing share of multi-ethnic Alaskan Natives AFN in Transition, 2000-2010
