Recent demographic and migratory trends among Soviet Jews: implications for policy.
The author examines recent demographic trends concerning the Jewish population of the former USSR, with consideration given to both internal and international migration.  "Among the factors whose effects on population dynamics are examined, emphasis is placed on the Jewish population's concentration in large urban areas, the effects of emigration on age structure of the remaining population, self-identification as a method in census enumeration, ethnic intermarriage and family characteristics, and the outlook and prospects for emigres in Israel and the United States." The effect of Soviet state policy on Jewish population dynamics is also considered.
