EXCERPT FROM CURRENT ARTICLE
Jerusalem Post
By 2065, Israel will be most crowded nation on earth - good news
By Barbara Sofer
I’m one of those optimists who see our national birthrate as an expression of positive values, willingness to take on responsibility and confidence.
I sit down to read the recent Gregorian New Year’s supplement of the influential economic magazine TheMarker. We’re all interested in economic trends, and 2020 was an unpredictably grim year. The lead article headline looks particularly interesting: “Turning Point: Israel’s Big Population Challenge.”
Turning point? No, this isn’t about the Jewish population being outnumbered. Nor is it about the many challenges within Israeli society. It isn’t even about the expected increase in the number of Orthodox children and its impact on the economy (TheMarker is published by Haaretz).
