title: Estimates of the British Jewish population 1984-88.
abstract: "During the 20th century, estimates of the British Jewish population have been obtained by applying appropriate death-rates to communal mortality data. This death-rate method has become increasingly sophisticated with respect to the death-rates used. The exercise reported here covers more than 22,000 deaths recorded in the community over the 5-year period [1984-88].... An estimate of 308,000 is suggested for the community, in which deaths-related data are augmented by information about births within the community."
