Abstract:
Recently published figures report the elderly, as a proportion of the total American Jewish population, increased from 12 percent in 1970 to 15.5 percent by 1980. The total Jewish population increased very slightly in number; thus, the growth of the elderly during the decade was at least 29 percent.
