The ‘Apartheid Wall’ Is a Potent Aphrodesiac: Jewish Birthrates on the Rise in Israel

Israel’s Yediot Ahronot newspaper has published new demographic statistics today that show the country’s Jewish birthrate has risen sharply over the past decade, while that of (predominantly Arab) Christians and Muslims has fallen. The trend has been building for the past several years. In 2006, for example, Israel’s left-leaning Ha’aretz reported that Jewish birthrates in [...]

Open Thread: China Does Not Have Enough Women…

What are the strategic implications of this? From Newser: “China has made astounding advances in recent decades, but a destabilizing gender imbalance threatens the country’s progress.
