The demographic consequences of U.S. Jewish population trends.

This study is concerned with the population dynamics of the U.S. Jewish population. It is an extension of a previous study by Sidney Goldstein and develops the themes elaborated in that study in two directions: further investigation of nuptiality, fertility, and mixed marriage; and quantitative assessments of alternative projections of future population. The data are primarily taken from the National Jewish Population Study of 1970-1971. The authors conclude that the balance of internal population dynamics of U.S. Jewry is probably negative and, despite immigration, will become progressively more negative in the future.
