In a study made for the Jew-
ish Welfare Federation by Dr.
Albert J. Mayer of Wayne
State University, to show the
place of birth of the Jewish
population of Detroit, it was
reported this week that a third
of the adult population was
born in Detroit or Michigan,
another quarter elsewhere in
the United States and slightly
less than half were born
abroad.
"Thus there is still a strong
foreign born element in the
Detroit Jewish population," Dr.
Mayer concludes. "While the
children are almost entirely
native, the adults are often
foreign born. Only about a
quarter of the foreign born are
under 45 years old and the
bulk are in the 45 to 64 year
age group."
school. Men, it is shown, are
more likely to have gone to
college.
Pointing out that positions in
family businesses attract the
younger people instead of edu-
the educational level of the cation, Dr. Mayer states that

survey shows that half of the younger people do have less
men and a third of the women education than the middle age
in the Detroit Jewish popula- group." He denies, however,
tion went beyond high school,
the comparative figure for the
general population being one
in six who went beyond high
"In 20 years," Dr. Mayer
states, the bulk of the adult
Jewish population under 65
years of age will be American
born. This demographic faet
will be a significant charac-
teristic of the American Jew-
ish community."
Most of the present adult
population came here before
they were 20 years old, the
study shows. indicating: "Less
than one out of five was over
35 years of age when they came
to the United States and the
distinction between those of
foreign birth and the native
born is not as sharp as ap-
pears at first glance. There is
little difference between the
people native to the United
States and the people who came
here before they were adoles-
cent. More important is • the
fact that both had foreign par-
ents. Today's adult Jewish pop-
ulation is prepoderantly — 90
per cent — either foreign born
themselves or children of a
foreign born father: Only about
20 per cent had native parents."
In his summary, Dr. Mayer
states that of 100 families
about 50 are headed by foreign
born adults. 40 contain parents
native to the U.S. but whose
parents were foreign born and
of the two remaining families
only two had grandparents
born in the U.S.
"It can be said," Dr. Mayer
added, "that today the influ-
ence of European Jewish cul-
ture is still strongly imprint-
ed on the American Jewish
community, but this period
is quickly drawing to a
close."
"The Detroit Jewish commu-
nity," he states, "contains in-
dividuals born on all continents
and in all European countries.
