Ynet's weekly Yahadut-Gesher survey has revealed that some 63 percent of the public believes that the ideal family is comprised of a man, a woman and at least four children. The survey was conducted by The Brands Institute among a sampling of 500 respondents from the adult Jewish population in Israel.
While recent data published by the Central Bureau of Statistics reported that 2.2 children was the average number of children per Jewish family in Israel, the new survey shows a significant discrepancy.
Sixty-three percent of overall respondents said the ideal number of children was four and above, and 29 percent preferred only two children. One percent of the population believes that the preferred situation is a single parent with two children, and another percentage said they would like to see same sex parents with two children.
As expected, the figures were higher among the more religious respondents. Forty-seven percent of the secular community, 69 percent of the traditional, and 87 percent of the orthodox and ultra-orthodox community said the ideal number of children per family was four and above.
