Abstract:

The present volume of the American Jewish Year Book carries a detailed article about contemporary demographic trends among world Jewry and population projections for the period 2000-2080. Therefore, instead of the customary detailed overview of current Jewish population developments, only a brief summary is given here. The following tables provide an update of the data available (at the beginning of the year) about the size of Jewish population and its share of the total population in each country.
