Population shifts triggered by the coronavirus pandemic have tilted Westchester, the city’s largest northern suburb, into a blue bastion.
“Westchester is almost becoming the sixth borough,” former Republican county executive Rob Astorino said. “It’s becoming an extension, in some ways, of Manhattan.”
Current County Executive George Latimer, the Democrat who defeated Astorino in 2017, agreed that the county’s electorate is now “completely different.”“There has been a turnover,” Latimer said. “Long-time residents have packed up and moved to Florida, and they’ve been replaced by young professionals coming up out of the city … they bring a different mindset.
— flipping two formerly Democrat-held House seats into the GOP’s column, and turning all four of the island’s congressional districts red. But Westchester has become more Democratic, adding nearly 15,000 Dems to its active voter rolls since 2019 — while losing more than 7,000 Republicans.Politico “It’s that highly educated, affluent white liberal that bought houses at ungodly amounts of money, sight unseen, during the pandemic and thinks Republicans are the devil,” Astorino said of his former constituents — who gave Hochul a staggering 20-point margin over her challenger, Republican Lee Zeldin.

Projections of adult skills and the effect of COVID-19In this paper, we project Skills in Literacy Adjusted Mean Years of Schooling (SLAMYS) for the working age population in 45 countries and quinquennial time periods until 2050 according to various population scenarios. Moreover, we integrate the effect of school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic on these projections. Adult skills are projected using the cohort components method. They can help in assessing the potential consequences of the recent trends for the adult population, particularly the workforce, whose skills are essential for the jobs contributing to economic growth and development outlooks. Our projections are novel as they take into account both the amount of schooling and quality of education and also consider the changes in adult skills through lifetime. Projections show that the adult skills gap between countries in the Global North and countries in the Global South will likely continue to exist by 2050, even under very optimistic assumptions–but may widen or narrow depending on the demographic development trajectories specific to each country. Moreover, the loss of learning due to school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbates inequalities between countries. Particularly, in countries where schools have been closed for a prolonged period of time and the infrastructure for effective online schooling is lacking, the skills of cohorts who were in school during the pandemic have been severely affected. The fact that the duration of school closures has been longer in many low- and middle-income countries is a serious concern for achieving global human capital equality. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is projected to erase decades-long gains in adult skills for affected cohorts unless policies to mitigate learning loss are implemented immediately.
