Abstract:

The authors argue that the design and structure of Jewish demographic studies needs to be updated and professionalized in order to be useful to the community. They state that data will not be properly utilized unless users are identified, purposes are delineated, a process is developed, and structure is instituted. They hold that if each of these facets is considered and planned properly, then the collection of demographic data can be a great asset to a community.
