The strictly Orthodox Jewish population in the United Kingdom
Strictly Orthodox Jews, otherwise known as Haredi, constitute about one-quarter of the total Jewish population of the UK. This population is growing very quickly. A religion question, first introduced into the census of England and Wales in 2001, is generally used to estimate the Haredi Jewish population. This paper claims that Haredi Jews have been severely and consistently undercounted in the census, leading to detrimental consequences for a pr…
Covid-19 mortality among Jews in 2020
An extensive body of demographic literature has described Jews as ‘long-lifers’. From the mid-nineteenth century onwards, this pattern affected all age groups and was particularly well expressed among Jewish males but was also present among Jewish females. It held good independently of the Jews’ socio-economic position. This became known as ‘Jewish pattern of mortality’. This paper has two aims. The first aim is to show the impact of COVID-19 on …
Elevated Jewish Mortality from Coronavirus in England and Wales
In June 2020, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in England and Wales published the results of an investigation into mortality from COVID-19 by religious group. The analysis revealed a significant "Jewish penalty": coronavirus mortality of Jews was shown to be relatively high compared to the British Christian majority. This paper considers these findings in the light of the literature on Jewish mortality and undertakes a re-analysis of the …

Antisemitism and Islamophobia
This article examines sensitivity towards antisemitism and Islamophobia11 The authors' names are listed alphabetically to reflect equal contributions to this article. Similarly, the terms "Jewish" and "Muslim", and "antisemitism" and "Islamophobia", are arranged alphabetically where there appear together to reflect equal status. The non-capitalization and capitalization of the latter word pair follows common usage elsewhere. within British Jewish…

Stalling fertility decline of Israeli Muslims and the demographic transition theory
The total fertility of Muslims in Israel declined from a level of nearly ten children per woman in the mid-1960s to about 4.5 children per woman in the mid-1980s. It then remained close to 4.5 children per woman for nearly 20 years. The reasons for this long stall in the fertility decline are not understood. This paper explores the roles of marriage patterns and marital fertility in the development of the stall in Muslim fertility decline in Isra…
Jewish Mortality Reconsidered
It is known that mortality of Jews is different from the mortality of the populations that surround them. However, the existence of commonalities in mortality of different Jewish communities across the world has not received scholarly attention. This paper aims to identify common features of the evolution of Jewish mortality among Jews living in Israel and the Diaspora. In the paper the mortality of Jews in Israel is systematically compared with …
Case management for at-risk elderly patients in the English integrated care pilots
Case management may result in improvements in some aspects of care and has the potential to reduce secondary care costs. However, to improve patient experience, case management approaches need to be introduced in a way which respects patients' wishes, for example the ability to see a familiar doctor or nurse
Mortality of British Jews at the Turn of the 20th Century in a Comparative Perspective
This paper presents an analysis of the mortality data of British Jews. Not much was known about mortality of British Jews until recently. Recent availability of mortality data of British Jews represents a remarkable development in Jewish demography. The study reported in this paper employs multiple comparisons of mortality schedules and places the discussion of findings within the larger analytical framework offered by the existing tradition of r…
How can Health Care Organizations be Reliably Compared
BACKGROUND: Patient experience is increasingly used to assess organizational performance, for example in public reporting or pay-for-performance schemes. Conventional approaches using 95% confidence intervals are commonly used to determine required survey samples or to report performance but these may result in unreliable organizational comparisons. METHODS: We analyzed data from 2.2 million patients who responded to the English 2009 General Prac…
The role of smoking in the explanation of the Israeli Jewish pattern of sex differentials in mortality
The difference in life expectancy between women and men among Israeli Jews is very low relative to the difference in other developed countries, and the reasons for this are not fully understood. This paper explores the contribution of smoking to the observed patterns of sex-specific mortality among Israeli Jews, and to the sex difference in mortality exhibited by this population. The results show that the mortality of Israeli Jewish men is low ow…
Effects of Interviewer Attitudes and Behaviors on Refusal in Household Surveys
Interviewers play a crucial role in gaining cooperation from a sample unit. This paper aims to identify the interviewer characteristics that influence survey cooperation. Of principal interest to survey practitioners are interviewer attributes associated with higher cooperation rates, particularly among sample members whose characteristics are traditionally associated with a lower probability of response. Our data source is unusually rich, in tha…
Diverging trends in female old-age mortality
Over the second half of the 20th century a number of divergences and convergences of mortality schedules were observed across the world. Some of these developments remain incompletely understood. In recent overviews of old-age female mortality Mesle an
