Abstract

Demography of world Jewry demonstrates the unique interplay that exists in the long run between the general concept of Jewish population and the normative concept of Jewish peoplehood. This article outlines the evolution of Jewish population worldwide between 1700 and 2013 covering population growth (besides the dramatic collapse caused by the Shoah), geographical distribution (between and within continents), life cycle events (births, deaths, and marriage), migrations (international and urbanization), conversions and assimilation, and the emerging age composition. The evolution of Jewish population globally reflects cultural, socioeconomic, and legal determinants and constraints experienced under minority and majority status.
