These questions weigh very heavy now on the minds of leaders

CJFWF: Basic to any evaluation of the future prospects of the
Jewish community in the United States is a Jewish population study li
which would bring out all the factors affecting the future growth and
characteristics of the Jewish population. Such a study is now being
completed by the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds.
This is the first time in the history of American Jewry that such
a comprehensive study has been undertaken. Its results will be re-
I
leased by the CJFWF in a series of reports at the end of this year I
and in 1973. They will give a clear picture on the demographic struc-
ture of the Jewish population, the striking changes in the composi-
tion of American Jewry, the size of Jewish families, and the propor-
tionate decrease of first generation American-born Jews as compared
to the proportion of the second and third generation increases.
But apart from the demographic information, Jewish leadership
will be particularly interested in what the CJFWF study reveals re-

aspects of Jewish life. The wealth of information collected by the study

CHALLENGING CHANGES:
fected within the current decade in its demographic structure is also
the subject of an analysis prepared fur the American Jewish Com-
mittee by Dr. Sidney Goldstein, professor of sociology at Brown
University.
Prof. Goldstein. who is a member of the AJC's Task Force
on the Future of the American Jewish Community — which is
composed of 30 well-known academicians, social workers, rabbis and
laymen of wide knowledge and experience in. the field of Jewish
communal work—is of the opinion that the Jewish population in this
country will undergo significant changes in selected aspects of its
socio-economic composition during this decade. He foresees among
other things that the continuously rising education levels among non-
Jews may lead to a narrowing of educational differentials between
Jews and non-Jews.
He also foresees a general upward shift in the occupational level
a narrowing of
population. This, he says, will lead to
of the general
the existing differences in the occupational structure of the Jewish
and non-Jewish population. In turn, this narrowing in both educational
and occupational differences will lead to reduction in the income dif-
ferences currently characterizing Jews and non-Jews. He notes an
increasing willingness of Jews to seek and take positions away from
the community of current residence.
