    Israel 2040: Milk, Honey, and Loads of Kids

    Why do Israelis have so many children? And what are the implications of this for Israeli society and policy? In this episode, we speak with Tamar Havshush about her experience of being a secular Israeli mother who works in high tech and has five children born over the span of just seven and a half years. By putting Tamar’s personal story in conversation with experts Prof. Alex Weinreb and Prof. Herbert Smith, we take a fascinating dive into Israel’s exceptional fertility trends. “Milk, Honey, and Loads of Kids” is being released in conjunction with our annual Herbert M. Singer International Policy Conference, this year on the topic: “Israel's Unique Demography: Implications and Planning for the Future.” It is the first episode in our “Israel 2040” series, in which we look at a number of socioeconomic trends that will shape how Israel looks in the coming decades. The other episodes in the series are recorded in Hebrew.

    The kids who are building an airplane

    In this episode, DataPoint host Maya Dolgin tells the story of the Yerucham Science Center, talking with the director of the Center, Asaf Shalev, and with some of the students involved in its programs. The Yerucham Science Center is an educational institute that runs a number of programs for kids of different ages, both during and outside of school. Delving into the Center’s activities provides insight into Israel’s education system and, more particularly, on its possible role in promoting economic growth while at the same time helping to reduce inequalities.
