Population Trend

How the total population has changed over the decades. A rising line means the country has been growing, a flat or falling line indicates stagnation or decline.

Population Projection to 2100

Estimated future population based on current trends in birth rates, death rates, and migration. The dashed line shows this is a projection, not actual data.

Birth Rate vs Death Rate

Birth rate (green) vs. death rate (red) per 1,000 people per year. When the birth rate is higher than the death rate, the population grows naturally.

Life Expectancy (Male vs Female)

Average number of years a newborn can expect to live. Blue shows men, red shows women. Women typically live longer in most countries.

Fertility Rate Trend

Total Fertility Rate — the average number of children per woman. A rate of about 2.1 is needed to maintain the population without immigration.

Population Pyramid

Shows the age distribution of the population. Blue bars (left) represent men, red bars (right) represent women. A wide base means a young population, a wide top means an aging population.

Demographic Profile

Israel is located in Western Asia, a part of Asia, and covers an area of 22,072 km². With a population of 9,974,400, the country has a population density of 455.1 inhabitants per square kilometer, which is above the global average of approximately 60 people per km².

The demographic structure of Israel reveals a population in demographic transition. The median age of 33.8 years means that half of the population is younger and half is older than this age. The population is in a transitional phase, with declining birth rates and improving life expectancy gradually shifting the age structure toward an older profile.

Health and Longevity

Life expectancy in Israel stands at 83.2 years overall — 81.0 years for men and 85.5 years for women. This places the country among those with high life expectancy globally, reflecting well-developed healthcare systems and living standards. The infant mortality rate is 2.7 per 1,000 live births, which is considered very low and indicates excellent maternal and infant healthcare.

Fertility and Population Growth

The total fertility rate (TFR) of 2.85 children per woman is above the replacement level of 2.1, contributing to population growth. The population is growing at a rate of 1.27% per year. This moderate growth rate reflects a balance between natural increase and migration patterns.

Migration

Net migration in Israel is 10,612 people, meaning more people are moving into the country than leaving. The country serves as a destination for migrants, which helps offset low natural population growth and fills labor market needs.

Outlook

Based on current demographic trends, Israel's population dynamics reflect broader patterns seen across Western Asia. The ongoing demographic transition will require careful policy planning to harness the potential of a changing population structure.
