International cooperation welcomed across 14 advanced economies

A Pew Research Center survey of 14,276 people across 14 countries conducted in summer 2020 finds that many believe greater global cooperation could have reduced the human toll from COVID-19.

Who is Hispanic?

Debates over who is Hispanic and who is not have fueled conversations about identity among Americans who trace their heritage to Latin America or Spain. So, who is considered Hispanic in the United States? Generally, anyone who says they are Hispanic – and nobody who says they aren’t. Here’s how Pew Research Center and the U.S. Census Bureau use self-identification to decide who is Hispanic.

• About one-in-four U.S. Hispanics have heard of Latinx, but just 3% use it
• Hispanics have accounted for more than half of total U.S. population growth since 2010
