Homeownership Rate Forecasts: Seeing the Big Picture October 17, 2016 683 Views in Daily Dose, Data, News Housing experts are debating whether the homeownership rate, which at 62.9 percent is at a 51-year low, will rise or continue to fall—some say it might even drop below 60 percent.But these projections might be overly pessimistic, according to Freddie Mac Chief Economist Sean Becketti.The homeownership rate among demographics that have historically had lower-than-average rates has dropped substantially; for example, the homeownership rate among African Americans rose to a peak of 49.7 percent in 2004, when the overall homeownership rate peaked. Twelve years later, the African American homeownership rate has returned back to its mid-1990s levels of 41.7 percent.The main reasons why the homeownership outlook is bleak are increasing age and increasing diversity.“Older age groups have higher homeownership rates, and America is getting older, a factor that will prop up the homeownership rate for a decade or so,” Freddie Mac Chief Economist Sean Becketti said. “Counterbalancing the influence of aging on the homeownership rate is the projected increase in demographic diversity.”Historically, non-Hispanic whites have had the highest homeownership rates—nearly 18 to 28 percentage points higher than African American, Asian, and Hispanic households. Nearly three-quarters of baby boomers (those born from 1946 to 1965) are non-Hispanic whites, compared with only 59 percent of millennials, Becketti said. As the baby boomer generation leaves the picture, the more diverse millennial group will take center stage—and, Becketti said, “If historical demographic differences in homeownership rates persist, this increased diversity eventually will drive the homeownership rate significantly lower.”There are three reasons to be skeptical about whether or not these negative homeownership rate projections are accurate, according to Becketti. First off, the future of housing finance is uncertain.“No one knows when a consensus on these complex issues will be reached in Congress, but whatever choices are made will surely influence the future path of homeownership,” Becketti said.Also, many analysts have predicted that the household formation and homebuying behavior of millennials will catch up to that of previous generations, which will likely cause the homeownership rate to rise. But most important, Becketti said, non-white demographic groups may overcome the factors that have been holding down their homeownership rate.“The income and education gaps that are responsible for some of these differences may be narrowed or eliminated as the U.S. becomes a ‘majority minority’ country,” Becketti said. “And the mortgage market may shift in ways that chip away at the remaining gaps—the ones that can’t be explained by income or education and that highlight constraints on access to credit.”Becketti notes that borrowers who don’t fit smoothly into the mass production of today’s mortgage industry, which is supposed to reduce costs, will continue to gain a larger share of the potential homebuyers market—and that it will become “increasingly expensive” for lenders to overlook this group.

“and you say,C. attacking fruit trees corn soybeans berries tomatoes and other crops Statistics are scarce but an industry group estimates that Mid-Atlantic apple growers alone lost $37 million to stinkbug damage in 2010 In the peach orchard however another surprise invader also is on the march—and it may prove to be the stinkbug’s nemesis Like many invasive species the brown marmorated stinkbug has no major enemies in its new home to keep its population in check So in 2005 entomologist Kim Hoelmer and his team at the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Newark Delaware turned to a strategy known as classical biological control: They traveled to Asia to find natural enemies of the stinkbug that they might release in the United States Fanning out to agricultural fields and botanical gardens the team searched for the bug’s tiny clusters of barrel-shaped eggs They checked whether any had been invaded by parasitoid wasps which inject their own eggs into the stinkbug’s leaving larvae that eat the developing bugs before chewing their way out By far the most pervasive parasite they found was the samurai wasp (Trissolcus japonicus) which despite its fearsome name is stingerless and smaller than a sesame seed The ARS team imported several strains of the wasp to a quarantined facility in Newark and began painstaking tests to decide whether it was a good biocontrol candidate Then in 2014 Hoelmer got an unexpected phone call Elijah Talamas a taxonomist at the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in Gainesville had been helping another ARS team identify native wasps parasitizing stinkbug eggs in Maryland Talamas an expert on Trissolcus species had recognized that some were samurai wasps "It was stunning news" Hoelmer recalls He had spent years studying the wasp in the lab to make sure that if released it would do its job without harming native species But the insect was already here Genetic tests confirmed that the wasps in Maryland hadn’t escaped from any of his quarantined strains Somehow they had immigrated on their own The brown marmorated stinkbug is a versatile pest that attacks valuable crops and plagues homeowners MATT ROURKE/AP PHOTO Over the decades a variety of uninvited biocontrol candidates have popped up on new continents including a fungus that kills forest-stripping gypsy moths and a beetle that devours allergy-inducing ragweed "The examples definitely are piling up" says Donald Weber an ARS entomologist in College Park Maryland whose team found the first US samurai wasps "We’ve had this mindset that natural enemies would be less likely to establish" than invasive pests he says But sometimes "It might be fairly easy" Those unexpected arrivals can unsettle scientists and regulators Rules aimed at carefully controlling insect releases can seem nonsensical when the species in question is already happily spreading on its own And the arrival of the samurai wasp—a promising biocontrol agent against a high-profile pest with a formal proposal for release already in the works—has prompted a fresh look at some US regulations But unplanned introductions also free researchers from some of the usual constraints allowing them to explore key questions about a biocontrol agent’s impact in field experiments rather than just the lab The team at the peach orchard for example is one of about a dozen US groups now releasing the samurai wasp into fields and orchards to see whether it will be an ally in fighting the exotic stinkbugs—or yet another problematic invader Classical biological control has logged some undeniable successes such the release of the South American wasp Apoanagyrus lopezi in Africa in the 1980s to control the cassava mealybug (Phenacoccus manihoti) That project preserved a staple crop and saved an estimated 20 million lives earning its architect Swiss entomologist Hans Rudolf Herren the 1995 World Food Prize But many of the best-known biocontrol efforts are the historical disasters: the mongooses unleashed for rat control in Hawaii in 1883 that devastated native birds and turtles and the cane toads sent to Australia in 1935 that failed to control sugarcane-destroying beetles but—because the toads themselves are poisonous—killed native reptiles frogs birds and mammals that ate the toads As the field matured many nations began to strictly regulate the release of biocontrol agents—which can include insects fungi and bacteria—and required studies to predict potential "nontarget effects" As Weber puts it "People are a lot more responsible now than when they were running around releasing mongooses" In the United States researchers must submit a proposal to USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) That proposal must include data from lab experiments gauging whether their candidate is likely to eat or parasitize species other than the targeted pest Three groups then vet the evidence of its safety: a scientific review panel with representatives from Canada and Mexico an APHIS official and sometimes the US Fish and Wildlife Service The process can take years A samurai wasp emerges from the brown marmorated stinkbug egg in which it hatched Scientists hope the wasp will reduce populations of the pest in US crops CHRIS HEDSTROM But organisms have a way of sidestepping bureaucracy Over and over potentially beneficial species have popped up uninvited likely reaching new continents by the same shadowy routes of international trade and travel that spread pests Entomologist Paul DeBach of the University of California Riverside in a 1971 essay called this phenomenon fortuitous biological control And it can be a boon Recently the North American leaf beetle (Ophraella communa) which feeds on the invasive ragweed Ambrosia artemisiifolia sneaked into Europe potentially saving many people from pollen-induced misery And when an exotic fungus—Entomophaga maimaiga which kills the gypsy moth in its caterpillar stage—started to spread around New England in the late 1980s "it was very exciting" says entomologist Ann Hajek of Cornell University Her team had tried without success to establish the fungus but once it arrived she spent years making sure it wasn’t harming local caterpillar species "We were lucky" she says: The natives were mostly unaffected Unplanned arrivals can bring heartache however Entomologist Tim Haye of the Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International in Delémont Switzerland and his collaborators spent a decade developing plans to release the European parasitoid wasp Trichomalus perfectus to control the invasive weevil Ceutorhynchus obstrictus a canola plant pest in Canadian prairies Then in 2009 the wasp appeared on its own in Quebec in Canada "I was very disappointed" Haye says Moreover such invaders don’t always prove fortuitous A team led by ARS entomologist Keith Hopper investigated the parasitoid wasp Aphelinus certus as a biocontrol agent against the soybean aphid (Aphis glycines) but lab tests revealed it had a broad range of aphid hosts including some native ones "I would never have brought that thing in" says ecologist George Heimpel of the University of Minnesota in St Paul a collaborator on that project But in 2005 the wasp showed up in Pennsylvania Now that it’s established Heimpel’s group is studying whether native aphid populations are in danger "A lot of people don’t care about native aphids" he says "I am one of those that do" Yet such unplanned introductions also hand researchers an opportunity creating what Haye calls a gigantic field trial for testing predictions about the control agent’s effects For the samurai wasp researchers can now get permission from state regulators to launch experiments that involve breeding and releasing accidentally introduced wasp strains in the wild—work that wouldn’t be allowed with intentionally imported insects which must stay quarantined until federal regulators are convinced they’re safe Ancient enemies reunited Since the samurai wasp’s first US appearance in 2014 surveys have turned up at least three genetically distinct populations in areas affected by the brown marmorated stinkbug Agricultural and nuisance problems Nuisance problems only Stinkbugs detected First field recovery of samurai wasps Severe agricultural and nuisance problems No data 2015 2014 2016 2017 2018 (MAP) STOP BROWN MARMORATED STINK BUG ADAPTED BY N DESAI/SCIENCE; (DATA) KIM HOELMER AND JIM WALGENBACH One night last May 3600 samurai wasps streamed from mesh cages into the stinkbug-infested New Jersey orchard A team led by Rutgers entomologist Anne Nielsen and entomologist Kevin Rice of the University of Missouri in Columbia had strung up yellow sticky cards baited with stinkbug egg clusters among the peaches and along the adjacent forest edge They planned to wait a few days collect the cards and count the wasps to see whether they had ventured into the orchard to pursue the peach-destroying bugs The insects were descendants of wasps that Nielsen first discovered in a nearby New Jersey orchard in 2017—the first find in a US agricultural crop Since 2014 the samurai wasp has turned up in 10 states and Washington DC Researchers have identified at least three genetically distinct strains suggesting multiple introductions Maybe wasp embryos were hiding in stinkbug eggs on plants aboard a cargo ship An adult wasp may even have hitched a ride with an unsuspecting airline passenger (While awaiting a flight from New York City to Russia Talamas once watched a different parasitoid wasp species native to the United States land on a page of his book "All it had to do was fly down the walkway … next stop: Russia" He trapped the hitchhiker in his contact lens case and on arrival preserved it in vodka) Now that the wasps are in the United States research questions abound Nielsen says In their native range they parasitize up to 90% of brown marmorated eggs But will their behavior be different here Where will they congregate and forage Will they dramatically reduce stinkbug populations Could farmers support the wasp by adjusting their practices—for example not spraying pesticides where the insects are most concentrated The chance to probe basic questions about a little-studied exotic species Rice says is "fabulously exciting" For US regulators however the wasp’s unexpected arrival poses an conundrum "This is a good chance for us to codify policy and decide ‘How are we going to handle these circumstances’" says Robert Pfannenstiel an APHIS entomologist in Riverdale Maryland who reviews release applications "Will we allow changes from our policies and processes that are already in place or not" Brown marmorated stinkbugs have done major damage to apples and other fruit trees in the mid-Atlantic United States Matt Rourke/AP Photo Studies so far suggest the samurai wasp is a promising biocontrol agent Although in laboratory tests it has parasitized some eggs laid by native species it has shown a strong preference for brown marmorated stinkbug eggs Scientists can release the accidental strains in states where they’ve already been discovered but for now they can’t spread the wasps indiscriminately APHIS prohibits moving exotic species that haven’t been formally cleared for release into new states (Nielsen and Rice for example couldn’t legally perform their same experiment if they drove 4 hours north to Connecticut where samurai wasps haven’t been found—so far) The wasp needs to go through regulatory review just like any other candidate Pfannenstiel says "The danger in one case of saying ‘Oh we can tell it’s not a risk’ and then releasing it [is that] there’s pressure to do that repeatedly and start making judgment calls rather than determinations" based on data Field studies of the accidental strains could speed the evaluation and help the wasp’s chances of approval—or reveal new reasons not to release it he says "I go into these evaluations with no preconceptions" Hoelmer’s team at ARS is still preparing a petition to APHIS to release one deliberately imported strain which he hopes could serve as a backup if the accidentally introduced strains spread slowly He also intends to include the accidentally introduced strains in his release petition because their biology is so similar to that of the strain he has studied extensively He plans to submit his petition by the end of this year and hopes for a decision next year For now he says growers and researchers in states where the wasp hasn’t been detected will simply "have to wait until it crosses the border" The caution can seem excessive given the wasp’s steady spread "Should we really wait" asks Haye who also believes the wasp is a good biocontrol agent "Or should we speed up the spread and prevent damage—and help farmers—knowing that it’s not 100% specific and that eradicating it is not an option anyways" Those are just some of the questions likely to come up at a special symposium on the implications of accidentally introduced biocontrol candidates set for the annual meeting of the Entomological Society of America in Vancouver Canada in November Weber co-organizing the symposium hopes that regulators weighing the benefits and risks of a biocontrol proposal will factor in the potential for surprises: "The longer the regulatory process the more likely the species will accidentally show up" he says "There might be a fairy tale world where you can regulate everything that comes in" but in reality "that horse leaves the barn on a regular basis Rutgers University entomologist Anne Nielsen and graduate student Nick Avila survey a yellow sticky card for samurai wasps to track their dispersal in the peach orchard Dean Polk The researchers at work in the Rutgers orchard aren’t yet endorsing the samurai wasp as a biocontrol agent First they’d like more evidence that it won’t harm native species "They’re invasive" Rice says "They’re not in a different bucket" from the stinkbugs The restrictions on spreading the wasp "can be frustrating and it can seem arbitrary but the regulations are there for a reason" Nielsen adds Still she says the wasp "is likely our best hope of controlling the brown marmorated" Examining the sticky cards this summer her team found a roughly equal distribution of wasps in the peaches and the nearby woods That finding suggests the wasps are perfectly happy foraging for stinkbug eggs among the fruit which bodes well for the wasps’ ability to control the pests The team plans to run a similar experiment soon to see how the wasps spread into another crop soybeans Meanwhile researchers in California have sent Talamas another surprise: a new accidentally introduced Trissolcus parasitoid wasp this one native to India and Pakistan which emerged from the egg of another exotic stinkbug pest Bagrada hilaris "I think that these introductions are happening constantly" Talamas says but come to light only when taxonomists bother to take a close look He’ll publish the new finding later this month in the Journal of Hymenoptera Research Such arrivals are "humbling" Weber says—a reminder of the limits that humans face in shaping their environment "We have less control over things than we think"The JD(U) will soon

picked up about 12 days ago we’ve internally come a hell of a long way to get everything together" said Southgate who came in after Allardyce was brought down by a newspaper sting "I’ve seen teams having to work all pre-season to get new ideas across and we’ve had four days So I’ve also got to be very realistic about what that might look like" England would have won much more comfortably had it

between the Reserve Bank of India and the government announced in the budget India has joined the ranks of major economies The agreement binds the RBI to keeping inflation below 6 per cent by January 2016 with the target for 2016-17 and subsequent years pegged at 4 per cent plus/ minus 2 per cent According to the agreement the RBI will determine the policy rate as well as any other monetary measure to achieve the target If the RBI is unable to achieve its target for three consecutive quarters it will have to explain to the government the reasons and the remedial action it proposes — much in line with agreements in countries such as the UK This provides legitimacy to what the RBI has been doing for years But significantly the agreement makes that role formal besides fixing accountability This may well turn out to be as landmark an agreement as that signed by the government and the RBI in 1994 to phase out ad hoc treasury bills paving the way for putting an end to automatic monetisation But the monetary policy agreement on targeting inflation comes at a time when the record of successive governments especially at the Centre on fiscal prudence has been below par Overseas the reputational risks of such failures are high but that does not appear to be the case in India casting doubts on the new arrangement and its accountability mechanisms The RBI may often be too conservative for the liking of the finance ministry but the government needs to tread carefully to ensure that the fine balance between its fiscal policy arm and the central bank is not altered significantly Arguably electoral cycles may impinge on decisions taken by governments in the growth versus price stability debate and a non-political institution like the RBI could be better positioned to carry out the mandate to tackle inflation This makes it more incumbent on the government to be fiscally disciplined and to be mindful and sensitive to the role of the institution and to provide it the freedom and flexibility to achieve the mandated inflation target That should also include a say for the governor in the composition of the monetary policy committee Else it will be seen

Top NewsWritten by Bhoomika Joshi | Updated: December 19 2014 8:30 am Indian domestic workers including caregivers have no institutional support to guarantee their particular rights at work Related News A year since the row over the arrest of Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade India-US bilateral ties have witnessed a turnaround with President Barack Obama slated to be chief guest at this year’s Republic Day celebration Lost in the din of hardline statements then and the bonhomie now is the reason that the situation arose in the first place This is a good moment to return to the story of the other victim at the centre of the debate — Sangeeta Richards a migrant domestic worker and an Indian citizen like Khobragade India has taken note of the adverse circumstances and terms of employment that migrant workers in the Gulf countries face The ministry of overseas Indian affairs has set up the Indian Community Welfare Fund for overseas Indian workers in distress the Overseas Workers Resource Centre and the Dubai-based Indian Workers Resource Centre These are welcome steps towards the protection and advancement of the contractual rights of Indian migrant workers abroad But India’s record on securing the rights of migrant domestic workers both at home and abroad has been dismal It has not ratified the International Labour Organisation’s Domestic Workers Convention which came into effect in September 2013 and is yet to ratify the United Nation’s International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families 1990 The bill on a national policy for domestic workers remains on the backburner Indian domestic workers including caregivers have no institutional support to guarantee their particular rights at work The Khobragade incident still serves as a grim reminder of the government’s apathy towards domestic workers abroad The Indian government and diplomats across the board reacted sharply to Khobragade’s arrest especially because of its alleged breach of the diplomatic immunity granted under the Vienna Convention While the arrest and nature of treatment meted out to Khobragade may be termed “despicable” and “barbaric” especially in the context of accepted diplomatic protocol the allegations against her should not be swept under the rug The abuse of the contractual labour rights of Indian migrant domestic workers abroad particularly by diplomats is well documented For example in the UK approximately 38 per cent of all diplomatic domestic workers are trafficked compared to 02 per cent of domestic workers in private households The fear of breaching diplomatic immunity has led to most cases going uninvestigated The Khobragade case is not the first of its kind in the US In 2012 Indian diplomat Neena Malhotra was asked to pay $15 million in compensation to a domestic worker for forcing her to work without pay and seizing her passport In the same year Prabhu Dayal consul general in New York faced allegations of sexual harassment and forced labour from a domestic worker Though all of these cases did not escalate into a diplomatic row the Indian government needs to examine the disparities in its treatment of different categories of Indian migrant workers abroad While the mere proposal of a cash bond for a visitor visa mooted by the UK last year elicited prompt and severe criticism from the government major changes to the overseas domestic worker visa to the detriment of Indian migrant domestic workers in the UK were ignored Even as large-scale Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas celebrations are organised annually to attract NRI investments into the country the regulation of fraudulent recruitment agencies and malpractices exploiting low-skilled migrant workers still await legislative action and monitoring The Indian prime minister leads efforts to make travel and business by NRIs and PIOs easier but it takes a serious diplomatic row for Delhi to rethink sending domestic workers to missions abroad As for protecting the rights of employees in the households of Indian diplomats India can certainly institute appropriate monitoring and enforcement measures There should be an established mechanism within the ministry of external affairs an ombudsman who can probe contractual transgressions in diplomatic missions abroad A standardised penalty system may also be built into the terms of employment This could be regarded as an assurance of compensation subject to review by the ombudsman The Indian emigration management bill languished through the term of the last Parliament and there is no telling if it will see the light of day in this one The manner in which the US authorities treated Khobragade deserves unequivocal condemnation but the consequent scrutiny should not be limited to her alone Both Richards and she are equals as citizens Both demand equal empathy The Khobragade incident was a tragic reminder of the UPA government’s lack of will to act in the interests of the “other” set of Indian citizens abroad There is no better time than now for the NDA government to make up for this omission Will Narendra Modi be able to address the plight of the
