Comments by "Ynhockey" (@Ynhockey) on "The Exceptional Demographics of Israel" video.

To be fair, there are multiple studies showing that teenagers' Circadian rhythms differ from most other age groups, and making them get up early for school is torture, and hurts their academic performance as well. Middle and secondary schools should ideally not start earlier than 10 a.m., though I don't know if this has been tried anywhere in the world.

Speaking for myself, until last month's terrorist attack I had not considered having a third child, but am now considering it. The demographic struggle against Israel's enemies is real. I'm not sure if it translates to other countries necessarily though, look at Armenia.

@Miguel-zc6tj I think it's more cultural than anything. There are some childless women in Israel, but it's not common, and when women do have their first child, the first question they often get is when is the second child coming? Culturally it's weird in Israel to have just one child. There is also a point to be made about relationships: it is normal that your friends or relatives hook you up with someone else they know, and it leads to many good relationships, despite this practice being the butt of many jokes. Families are invested in relationships and I think this causes couples to be happier together on average.

It's worth noting that among the Muslim population, the pattern is similar to the West: not only are fertility rates going down, but they are also correlated with female education. The Bedouin have the least education and most children; the farmers (fellaheen) are in the middle; and the city dwellers have the fewest children.
