| Abstract | Fertility in the Jewish settlements of the West Bank and Gaza Strip has been stable for the past 15 years with a total fertility rate of almost five children per woman, while fertility in Israel has stalled around three children per woman during the same period. This paper uses census data from 1995 and 2008 to examine the changing determinants of fertility amongst the Jewish population living in Israel compared to that of the Jewish population living in the settlements during the stage when overall fertility levels reached stagnation. The results show a significant relationship between fertility, religiosity, nationalism, and socioeconomic status. Religiosity plays an important role in explaining the fertility of Jewish women in both regions but its impact is stronger in Israel. The initially positive effect of a higher income decreases with parity but remains positive in the settlements. Higher education generally affects fertility negatively. In Israel, female employment negatively influences fertility. Being born in Israel, Europe, or America has a strong negative impact on fertility in Israel. Also in Israel, living in less homogeneous localities has a strong positive impact on fertility that increases with parity. Living in ideological settlements has similar effects on fertility. |
