Israel remains OECD's fertility outlier with birth rate near 2.9

A Taub Center analysis of OECD and Israeli data found Israel's total fertility rate at about 2.9 children per woman, far above the OECD average of roughly 1.5. The study noted that Israel's fertility remains unusually high even among secular and traditional Jewish women, while Haredi fertility has declined but remains much higher than other groups.
