Abstract
Настоящая книга представляет собой второе издание (исправленное и дополненное) книги автора "20 лет Большой алии: статистический анализ перемен", вышедшей в 2013 году, которая, в свою очередь, явилась логическим продолжением предыдущей книги автора “Еврейское население бывшего СССР в ХХ веке (социально- демографический анализ)”. Если первая книга автора была посвящена развитию со- ветского еврейства в стране исхода, то нынешняя – тем изменениям, которые претер- пела еврейская русскоязычная община в Израиле, где сейчас проживает ее бóльшая часть. Наш анализ охватывает период с начала 1990-х годов до настоящего времени, и включает динамику общей численности репатриантов по республикам исхода, их расселение по городам и регионам Израиля, демографические аспекты, образование (как взрослого населения, так и детей и молодежи), владение ивритом и английским языком, компьютерную грамотность, армейскую/национальную службу. Особое внима- ние уделяется профессиональному трудоустройству репатриантов, и в частности, специалистов с высшим образованием. Рассматриваются также изменения в эконо- мическом положении репатриантов, их состояние здоровья, а также общая удовлетво- ренность жизнью в Израиле, национальное самосознание, традиции и ценности. По сравнению с предыдущим изданием, данные уточнены в соответствии с новыми ис- точниками и с учетом тенденций последних лет. Данные по репатриантам сопоставляются со всем еврейским населением Израиля, а по возможности – с еврейскими иммигрантами из бывшего СССР в США и Германии. Книга предназначена для демографов, социологов, специалистов, занятых проблема- ми интеграции репатриантов в различных сферах и всех интересующихся данной про- блемой.
Translated Abstract
This book is the second (updated) edition of previous book "20 Years of Great Aliya: A Statistical Analysis of Changes", published in 2013.
The main goal of the study was to analyze the changes in various aspects of the FSU immigrants' 1990 and after lives since their arrival to Israel and the factors leading to them.
Among the main findings:
• Only a relatively small fraction of the immigrants have left Israel and the great majority plan to stay in the country in the future.
• Birth rates among FSU Immigrant women increased significantly.
• Hebrew proficiency and computer literacy have improved, particularly among the younger and middle generation.
• The percentage of young immigrants who have served in the IDF is greater than of all Israelis of the same age.
• The percentage of FSU-born students eligible for a matriculation certificate has increased in recent years; among the Israeli-born children of immigrants, the percentage is higher than the national average.
• The number of immigrant college students has increased rapidly even though most of them are no longer eligible for support from the Student Authority.
• The professional/occupational status of the immigrants has been steadily increasing and today about two thirds of the immigrants with a higher education are working in an occupation commensurate with their education.
• The standard of living of FSU immigrants is approaching that of other Israelis.
Nevertheless, the FSU immigrants are still experiencing a considerable number of difficulties:
• Many (particularly the elderly aged) are still not proficient in Hebrew and English.
• The level of dropout from school among FSU-born students remains higher than that among total Jewish students.
• Many of the immigrants (particularly among the more recent arrivals in Israel and those approaching retirement age) are not working in their profession.
• A significant proportion of the immigrants are experiencing financial hardship particularly those who have reached, or are approaching, retirement age.
• About half of the immigrants do not have permanent housing.
• A significant proportion of the immigrants (particularly the older people) are in poor health.
