Description
The study of population and social change in Israeli society reveals the extensive transformations experienced in that country over the past several decades. This volume brings together new research studies reflecting the variety of complex issues now shaping the socioeconomic and demographic development of this society. Of particular interest are the discussions of the ways in which ethnic-immigrant groups have influenced demographic and social changes and, in turn, how these changes have had an impact on the assimilation of Israeli ethnic-immigrant groups. Among the major themes examined are immigration to Israel in the context of world Jewish demographic changes, the impact of recent immigration from the Soviet Union on both the Arab and Jewish populations, and analysis linking ethnicity, nation-building and demography.
