以色列周边的Haredi家庭的孩子少于中部地区, 原因是交通成本较高, 尽管住房便宜, Haredi families in Israel’s periphery have fewer children than those in central areas, due to higher transport costs and modern lifestyle shifts despite cheaper housing.

Shoresh研究所的一项新研究发现,以色列周边地区的Haredi家庭规模较小,在30-39岁人口中平均有3.9个孩子,而在中部地区则有4.8个孩子,其原因是交通成本较高,收入较低,尽管住房价格低30-40%。 A new study by the Shoresh Institute finds Haredi families in Israel’s periphery have smaller households, averaging 3.9 children among those aged 30–39, compared to 4.8 in central areas, driven by higher transportation costs and lower incomes despite 30%–40% cheaper housing. 周边家庭花在交通和通信上的钱更多,拥有更多的汽车和电视机,并显示妇女受教育程度更高——41.4%拥有大学入学或学位,而中心地区为33.6%——这表明向更现代的生活方式转变。 Periphery families spend more on transport and communication, own more cars and TVs, and show higher educational attainment among women—41.4% hold matriculation or degrees versus 33.6% in the center—indicating a shift toward more modern lifestyles. 汽车所有权与生育率较低有关,特别是在老年家庭中,这表明对社区支持的依赖程度降低。 Car ownership correlates with lower fertility, especially among older families, suggesting reduced reliance on communal support.
