An attempt is made to examine the demographic characteristics of the Palestinian population both within the present borders of Israel and in the rest of the Middle East and to describe some recent demographic trends. Mortality and particularly infant mortality among all Palestinian populations is below the Third World average and often below that for other populations of the Arab world. The pace of mortality decline was fastest among the Arab population within the Jewish state between 1948 and 1967. In the territory occupied by the Israelis in 1967 the decline in the infant mortality rate was slower than among the total population of the East Bank of Jordan and among the Palestinian population that lived in the refugee camps of 1948 and 1967. Since 1970 the decline in the infant mortality rate has accelerated among all Palestinian populations in the Arab countries in the region. The data on fertility suggest a transition is under way among the Arabs within the frontiers of pre-1967 Israel but there are only slight indications of any change among Palestinians on the West Bank and Gaza. An increase in fertility occurred between 1955 and 1965 among the Muslims of Israel. In the camps of Jordan Lebanon Syria and Gaza there has been no sign of fertility decline to date. The same holds for other Palestinian populations outside refugee camps. (summary in FRE SPA) (EXCERPT)
