HAIFA — A recent study
conducted by the University
of Haifa's School of Social
Work has shown that Israeli
women are following the
example of women in the
United States by opting for
late motherhood, although
the reasons for their deci-
sions are quite different.
Israeli "belated mothers,"
defined by the study as
women who give birth to
their first child after age 30,
are married, and had no
medical problems delaying
their pregnancy. They chose
to become mothers at a later
age for two reasons, the
study revealed.
The first reason for be-
lated motherhood is that
women are marrying at a
later age. In this situation
the belated motherhood is a
direct result of the late mar-
riage. The second group
chose to delay pregnancy
because they felt unpre-
pared to accept the re-
quirements of motherhood.
In the United States,
late motherhood usually
occurs when a woman
places her career above
the role of mother and
homemaker. The belated
mother in the U.S. is over
30, has a university de-
gree, and a high
socioeconomic status.
The typical Israeli be-
lated mother is a
university-educated, upper
middle class, 31-year-old
city resident. Although
active in the workforce, and
professionally employed,
the Israeli belated mother
regards her job as secondary
to her role as a mother.

Argentina Council Probes
Disappeared Ones' Cases
NEW YORK (JTA) —
The newly created Argen-
tine government commis-
sion investigating the dis-
appearance of individuals
under previous administra-
tions during the "dirty war"
in the mid-1970s will also
review the cases of an esti-
mated 1,500 Argentinian
Jews, according to a
member of the commission.
Rabbi Marshall Meyer,
one of two Jews appointed to
the 16-member commission
last month by President
Raul Alfonsin, confirmed at
a news conference at the
Argentine Consulate Gen-
eral here that the plight of
missing Jews will be inves-
tigated along with the esti-
mated 15-17,000 "disap-
peared ones."
Meyer, who is director of
the Latin American Rab-
binical Assembly, and Dr.
Gregorio Klimovsky, of the
Latin American branch of
the World Jewish Congress,
were appointed to the com-
mission whose task will be
to "receive charges and evi-
dence on cases (of disap-
pearances) and submit
them to courts, investigate
the whereabouts of missing
persons . . . establish the
whereabouts of missing
children separated from
their parents or guardians
. . . with the alleged purpose
of repressing terrorism."
On the issue of anti-
Semitism in Argentina,
which the previous military
junta did little to combat,
Meyer stressed that the Al-
fonsin government will do
its utmost to assure the
Jewish community that
anti-Semitism is not gov-
ernment policy. He noted
the presence of Jews within
the new government.
WB Concessions
Gaining in Poll
TEL AVIV (JTA) — A
public opinion poll pub-
lished in Maariv shows a
growing number of people
favoring territorial conces-
sions on the West Bank in
return for peace.
The poll by the Modi'in
Haezrachi Research Insti-
tute indicated changes in
three categories with
Hawks (against any West
Bank withdrawal) declin-
ing from 42.5 percent last
October to 33.8 percent in
December; moderates (in
favor of some concessions)
rising from 41.1 to 43.8 per-
cent; and doves (in favor of
complete or major conces-
sions) rising from 12.5 to
17.9 percent.
Asked if they were in
favor of the evacuation of
West Bank settlements in
return for peace with Jor-
dan, those answering "Yes,
All" rose from 6.4 to 19.1
percent; for evacuation of
"some" showed an increase
from 22.1 to 28.6 percent.
