The country\u2019s last major milestone was 50 years ago, at its bicentennial on July 4, 1976.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. society has changed profoundly since then. Over the past five decades, the U.S. population has <strong>aged significantly,<\/strong> with the percentage of people 65 and older nearly doubling. The country has also become<strong> more racially and ethnically diverse,<\/strong> as growing shares of people identify as Asian or Hispanic. And following more than 70 million immigrant arrivals, the percentage of <strong>foreign-born people<\/strong> in the population has more than tripled.&nbsp;<br><br>Americans are also <strong>less likely to be married<\/strong> than ever before. Women \u2013 who now have far more options outside of the home than they did in 1976 \u2013 have contributed to a <strong>boom in higher education<\/strong> and helped <strong>expand the workforce.<\/strong> And even though many Americans are financially better off than they were 50 years ago, <strong>economic gaps have widened.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahead of the nation\u2019s birthday, Pew Research Center identified some prominent trends across key areas of American life: demographics, work, family and economics.

(Tony Korody\/Sygma, Astrid Riecken\/The Washington Post via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The American family has witnessed substantial changes since the 1970s. Americans marry and have children at later ages than they once did, and fewer Americans are doing these things at all. Living arrangements have also shifted over this period: A smaller share of children live with two married parents, and a greater share of the population lives in multigenerational households.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These changes have occurred unevenly across demographic groups, and as a result, gaps by education and race and ethnicity have gotten wider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"the-decline-of-marriage\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The decline of marriage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The share of adults who are currently married is now 50%, down from 69% in 1970.
