flag Israel's population growth hit a record low in 2025 due to falling birth rates and rising emigration.

flag Israel's population growth rate dropped to 0.9% in 2025, the lowest since 1948, driven by declining fertility across all groups, rising net emigration, and increasing deaths due to an aging population. flag The country experienced a net loss of about 37,000 people, with more Israelis and former immigrants leaving than arriving. flag Fertility is projected to fall to 1.7 children per woman among secular Jews, 2.3 among religious Jews, and 4.3 among Haredi Jews by 2035, with similar declines expected in the Arab population. flag Despite a high life expectancy of 83.7 years, deaths are projected to rise 77% by 2040. flag While population growth may continue at 1% to 1.4% annually through 2040, experts warn of long-term economic and social challenges.
