本书中的信息主要基于美国1970年、1980年和1990年的人口和住房普查数据。[It]本报告侧重于1980年代和1990年代初波多黎各发生的人口和社会变化，当时一系列社会经济指标持续下降，达到令人震惊的程度。这一时期的特点是，失业率上升，贫困率高，社会不平等现象持续存在，药物滥用和犯罪急剧增加，令人不安。这些转变及其政策含义只能在其历史背景下理解。有几章论述人口增长和人口变化、波多黎各与美国之间的移徙、移民和出生在波多黎各以外的人口以及在美国的波多黎各人口。（节选）
The information presented in this volume is based largely on U.S. census data primarily from the 1970 1980 and 1990 censuses of population and housing....[It] focuses on the demographic and social changes that occurred in Puerto Rico during the decade of the 1980s and the early 1990s when the sustained decline of a series of socioeconomic indicators reached alarming levels. A disturbing rise in the unemployment rate high poverty rates sustained social inequities and a sharp increase in substance abuse and crime were characteristics of the period. These transformations and their policy implications can only be understood in their historical context. There are chapters on population growth and demographic changes migration between Puerto Rico and the United States immigration and the population born outside Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican population in the United States.
