The Central Statistical Office on Wednesday released the latest figures on the situation of the Israeli family. Overall, in Israel about 1.73 million families, which consist of at least 104 000 from only one parent and children to 17 years. The number of single mothers has increased between 2000 and 2008 63% and now stands at 13 700
All in all, Israel remains technically in a family but a traditional country. Almost all parents are married couples, and only 3% live in an extramarital relationship (compared to 24% in Denmark, 18% in the Netherlands and 8% in the U.S.). The average Israeli family consists of 3.7 persons. Almost one has at least one mobile phone, more than 60% of a computer and more than 55% have Internet access. Generally, the greater the number of family members, the less the electric devices.
Of the over-twenty year olds, 87% of those living in a family with their lives satisfied or very satisfied, with the Israelis who do not live in a family that is the satisfaction level of 78%.
