How do you talk on 2.1 mobile phones?

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israelis are more technologically connected and work longer hours than they were a decade ago, according to a recently released report of Israel’s 2008 population census.

The average Israeli has 2.1 mobile phones, according to the report. Some 71 percent of Israeli households have personal computers . In 1995, 27 percent of Israeli households had a personal computer.

About 10 percent of the population is 4 or younger; those 85 and above make up 1 percent of all males and 1.5 percent of all females.

The average work week for Israelis in 2008 was 40.5 hours— 45.2 hours for men and 35.5 hours for women.

Roughly 29 percent of Jews in Israel were born abroad, according to the 2008 census, compared with 62 percent in 1961 and 42 percent in 1983.

The 2008 census included visits to 400,000 Israeli households and a telephone survey of 250,000 individuals. Previous censuses were conducted in 1961, 1972, 1983 and 1995.
