JCA LAUNCHES NEW IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF NSW JEWISH COMMUNITY
In this special JCA report demographer, Dr David Graham, has synthesised data from JCA’s Gen 17 Report with data from the 2016 Australian Census. The result is an analysis that is unparalleled in the breadth and depth of information it provides about the Jewish community. The combination of sources shines a bright empirical light on the Jewish community enabling planners and other interested groups to better understand the key issues, trends, and challenges that are shaping the NSW Jewish population.
The report is now available to read or download online . You can also watch a recording of the launch webinar .
