Selected Data for Universal Children's Day, 2014

At the end of 2013, 2.682 million children lived in Israel (aged 0-17); they comprised 33% of the
country's population. Of them, approximately 1.895 million (70.6%) were Jewish children, 707,000
were Arab children (26.4%), and another 80,000 (3.0%) were classified as "other" (unclassified by
religion in the Population Register, and non-Arab Christians).

In Jerusalem, the proportion of children was approximately 40%; in Tel Aviv-Yafo and Haifa,
children comprised about a fifth (20%) of the city's population.

Approximately 97% of Jewish children were born in Israel. Approximately 78% were children of a
father who was also born in Israel.

In 2013, approximately 171,400 infants were born in Israel; of those, approximately 127,000 were
born to Jewish mothers and approximately 34,900 to Moslem mothers.

The average number of children up to age 17 per household (for households in which there were
children of this age group) was 2.42 on the national level. Among localities with a population of over
100,000, the highest averages were in Bene Beraq – 3.41 and Jerusalem – 3.06. The lowest
average was in Bat Yam – 1.74.

The percentage of Jewish children in lone-parent families was about 8%, in comparison to about
7% of Arab children in families such as these. Among children of immigrants from the former USSR,
the percentage of children living in lone-parent families was about 15%.

In 2013, 9.2% of children up to age 17 (about 232,000 children) lived in households without
employed persons – 7.2% among the Jewish population and 15.0% among the Arab population.

The percentage of those entitled to a matriculation certificate among examinees was 72% in
2012/13, compared with 69.5% in 2011/12. In the Hebrew education system the percentage of
those entitled was greater than that in the Arab education system – 76% versus 60%, respectively.

In 2012/13, and in the transition to 2013/14, the drop-out rate of students in grades 1-12
decreased (1.7% in 2012/13, compared with 2.1% in 2011/12).

In 2013/14, there were 1,489 youths (aged 12-17) studying for a first degree in the institutions of
higher learning in Israel; of those, 330 students were in universities, 846 were in the Open
University, and 313 were in academic colleges.

In 2013, a household in Israel spent NIS 14,501 on goods and services. A household with
children spent more than 1.4 times as much as a household without children (NIS 17,133 versus
NIS 12,378, respectively).
For explanations and clarifications, please contact the Press Relations Unit, at 02-652-7845

In 2013, the total expenditure of households with children on education was NIS 1,246 – an
increase of NIS 99 over 2012 (in constant prices). Expenditure on pre-primary schools
constituted the largest share of total expenditure on education – 41%.

This was the 15th consecutive year in which Noa was most common name given to Jewish girls. As
in previous years, Shira, Tamar, Talia, Maya and Yael were at the top of the most common names.
Among Jewish boys the most common names were Noam, Uri, Itai, Yosef and David. The most
popular name for children in 2013 was Muhammad, 1.7% of those born in 2013 were given this
name, because nearly every sixth son (15.7%) of Moslem boys born in that year were named
Muhammad. The most common name among Moslem girls was Jana, but unlike the Moslem boys,
the distribution of common names among Moslem girls was similar to that of the Jews, and only one
out of 45 Moslem girls (2.2%) were given the most popular name.

19,663 criminal files were opened against 10,586 youth aged 12-18 in 2012 (accused of severe
crimes, such as drugs, sexual offences, property crimes and violence). 91.9% of those with criminal
files were boys.
The Share of Children (Aged 0-17) in the Population

Approximately 33% of the Israeli population is children up to the age of 17. Approximately 42% of
the Arab population is children, compared with approximately 31% of the Jewish population and
23% of the population of "Others". The differences are due mainly to differences in the fertility rate.
Until the beginning of the 2000's, the average number of children per mother (total fertility rate)
among Arab women was about 4.3, and among Jewish women about 2.6. The differences in the
fertility rate decreased in the last decade and by 2013 the total fertility rate of an Arab woman was
3.15 children, on the average, during the course of her lifetime, compared to an average of about
3.05 children among Jewish women, and approximately 1.8 children on the average for "Other"
women.

Of the 2.68 million children in Israel, 31.4% are aged 0-4, 28.1% are 5-9, 26.1% are 10-14, and
14.4% are 15-17.
Children, by Locality, District and Type of Locality

Most children in Israel live in the center of the country, approximately 623,000 children live in the
Central District, and approximately 342,000 live in the Tel Aviv District. Approximately 729,000
children live in the north (Northern District and Haifa District).

Of Israel's three largest cities, the proportion of children in Jerusalem was about 40%; in Tel AvivYafo and Haifa, children comprise only about a fifth of the city's population.

In communal localities, there was a high concentration of young families and the percentage of
children was high (approximately 44%).

In localities with more than 100,000 residents, the percentage of children ranged from 46% in Bene
Beraq to 20% in Tel Aviv-Yafo and Bat Yam. In 12 of the 14 localities the percentage was lower
than the national average (33%).

Marriages and Births among Young Women up to Age 17

During 2012, approximately 1,4001 young women up to age 17 were married in Israel; they
compromise about 2.7% of total women married in this year. Approximately 83% of the young
women who married were Moslem. 55% of the Moslem young women who married in this year
were from the Jerusalem District, 14% from the Northern District and 17% from the Southern
District.

In 2013, 393 young women up to the age of 17 gave birth, of those, 319 were Moslem and 61 were
Jews. For about 9% of these teenagers, this was not the first birth.
Children Up to Age 17 in Households2 and Families3

In 2013, there were more than a million (about 1.042 million) households with children aged 0-17, in
which there were about 2.522 million children at these ages. These households comprise
approximately 45% of all households in Israel. Among Jewish households, approximately 41% were
households with children (approximately 787,000), in comparison to about 69% among Arabs
(approximately 228,000).

Of large cities in Israel (more than 100,000 residents), more than half of the households in Bene
Braq and Jerusalem were households with children up to age 17 (about 60% and 51%,
respectively). The lowest percentage of households with children up to age 17 was found in Tel
Aviv-Yafo – 24%.

Approximately 8% of children lived as an only child with their family (without siblings who lived at
home). Approximately 9% of Jewish children lived as an only child at home, in contrast with
approximately 4% of Arab children. This percentage was especially high among immigrants from
the former USSR – 19%.
Children Living with Two Parents or with a Lone-Parent

The vast majority of children in Israel live with two parents (about 92% of children). Approximately
206,000 children, who comprise approximately 8% of children, live with only one parent. Most of the
children who lived in a lone-parent family lived with their mother (91%).
1
Approximately a fourth of the cases occurred from 2009-2011, and were reported late to the Population Register.
A household is defined as one person or a group of persons living together in one dwelling on a permanent basis
most of the week, who have a common expense budget for food. A household may include persons who are not a
family. Households do not include children living in kibbutzim, institutions, students’ dormitories and people living
outside localities (Bedouins in the South and others). Source of the data: Labour Force Survey, 2013.
3
Family: A nuclear family of two persons or more who share the same household and are related to one another as
husband and wife, as an unmarried couple, or as parent and child. Thus, a family can be only a couple, a couple
with children (in various age groups, defined by the age of the youngest child), or a single parent with children. A
“family” also includes a family of grandparents with grandchildren aged 15 and over without parents, or only siblings
aged 15 and over who live together without spouses or children. Source of the data: Labour Force Survey, 2013.

married parent who is separated from their spouse, 13% with a never-married parent, and
approximately 7% were living with a widowed parent. Among the Arab children in lone-parent
families, 45% lived with a lone married parent living separately from their spouse, 32% lived with a
divorced parent, and 21% with a widowed parent.

Transportation
Road Accident Casualties (not including accidents in the Judea and Samaria Area)

In 2013, 13,048 road accidents with casualties were investigated by the Israel Police, in which there
were 24,294 casualties; of those, 2,815 were children aged 0-14 (12%), an increase of about 6%
compared with the number of children who were casualties in road accidents in 2012 (2,657).

The proportion of children among casualties is lower than their share in the general population.
Children aged 0-14 comprise approximately 12% of the casualties and approximately 8% of those
killed, whereas their share in the population is 28%.

Among the total amount of child casualties (aged 0-14) in 2013, 23 were killed (14 boys and 9 girls),
210 were severely injured (146 boys and 64 girls), and 2,582 were lightly injured (1,367 boys and
1,215 girls).

In 2013, 644 of the children who were casualties in road accidents were pedestrians (about 20% of
total pedestrians who were casualties); of those, 15 were killed, including seven who were killed as
they were crossing the street.

Among the children who were casualties while crossing the street (402), about 65% were injured in
a crosswalk.
14

In 2013, 84 children aged 0-14 were injured while riding a bicycle (out of 322 persons who were
casualties while riding a bicycle in an accident involving a motor vehicle); three children were killed
(all boys), 25 children were severely injured (24 boys and one girl) and 56 were lightly injured (54
boys and two girls).

Localities (with 20,000 residents or more) with the highest rate of children who were casualties in
road accidents in 2013 were: Baqa al-Gharbia (31 children per 10,000 children), Qiryat Shemona
(30 children per 10,000) and Sakhnin (26 children per 10,000).

The proportion of Arab children among the casualties is higher than their share in the population of
children in Israel. Arab children comprise approximately 26% of the population of children in Israel,
but approximately 36% of the children who were casualties in road accidents and about 61% of the
children who were killed in 2013. The share of children aged 0-4 among Arabs is especially
noticeable: In 2013, out of nine children aged 0-4 who were killed in road accidents, six were Arab
children (in 2012 – eight out of the nine children aged 0-4 who were killed in road accidents were
Arab children).
Road Accident Casualties in the Judea and Samaria Area

272 children were casualties in the Judea and Samaria Area in 2013, three were killed, 29 were
severely injured and 240 were lightly injured.
Children (aged 0-17) who are Registered in Social Services Departments7

In 2013, approximately 16% (441,000) of all the children up to age 17 in the Israeli population were
registered at social services departments in the local authorities.

Children aged 0-17 comprise about a third of all those registered at social services departments, of
all ages, the same as their share in the general population.

The proportion of Arab children who are registered at social services departments was greater than
their proportion in the general population, 35% versus 26%, respectively. Jewish children, on the
other hand, had a smaller proportion registered at social services departments than in the general
population, 61% versus 71%, respectively.

142 out of 1,000 Jewish children were registered at social services departments, compared with
217 out of 1,000 children in the Arab population.
7
The data of this section were processed in the Central Bureau of Statistics based on a basic data file of the Ministry
of Social Affairs, which includes families registered at social services departments in the local authorities, when at
least one of the family members is defined as needy.
15

Almost 40% of registered children are classified as "needy".8 The rest of the children are not needy,
but belong to a family in which at least one other person is classified as needy. This is one of the
explanations for the high percentage of persons registered for social services among the Arab
population, in which there are more children per family on the average.

Among children with a defined need, most (60%) are classified under the main need of "parental
dysfunction or children/youth dysfunction" (Diagram 2). This category includes "educational and
behavioral problems of children" (25%), "dysfunction of the father/mother" (14%), "relationship
problems between parents and children" (10%), and "personal problems, orphans and loss of
children in the family".

The second largest category of need, about 18%, is "medical reasons and disability", which
includes problems due to birth defects and physical disabilities (8%) and mental retardation (3%);
and the third largest category (15%) is "poverty, income problems and employment", which includes
a lack of income from work, instability in employment and a lack of professional training.
8
Need is defined as the reason the individual is referred to the departments of social services.

Criminal Felony Files

19,663 criminal files were opened by the police in 2012 for 10,586 juveniles aged 12-18. This item
describes files opened for very severe offenses (such as offenses involving drugs, sex, property or
violence).

91.9% of juveniles with criminal files were boys. The rate of youths aged 12-18 with criminal files
was 11 per 1,000 youth at that age, referring to offences that occurred in the 2011/12 school year
(1.9.11 – 31.8.12).

The rate of juveniles with criminal files per 1,000 persons in the population among boys (20) was
ten times more than that among girls (two). As the age increases, so too does the rate of juveniles
with criminal flies, from three juveniles with criminal files per 1,000 at ages 12-14 to the rate of 23
juveniles with criminal files per 1,000 at age 17-18.

The percentage of those with criminal files in 2012 among students in schools under the
supervision of the Ministry of Economy9 was 8.7 times higher than among school children under the
supervision of the Ministry of Education and 1.4 times more than youth who were not in a
framework of studies.
