Birth rates are declining sharply across developed countries, with Europe, North America, and East Asia experiencing historic lows. Economic pressures, housing costs, and shifting cultural values have led many young couples to limit family size, often to one or two children. In contrast, Israel stands out for its rising birth rates among both Jewish and Arab populations.

Israel's approach to family and procreation reflects a commitment to growth and continuity, setting it apart from the demographic trends seen in much of the developed world.
