Abstract:

This study is based on data obtained almost entirely from the 1991 Canadian census, with comparative data from the 1981 census. The Canadian census includes the largest sample of Jews to be surveyed outside the state of Israel and contains data on the most comprehensive set of characteristics including religious and ethnic identity, immigration, family structure, intermarriage, education, occupation, and income status.
