Editing Haredi Judaism (section)

== Population ==
Due to its imprecise definition, lack of data collection, and rapid change over time, estimates of the global Haredi population are difficult to measure, and may significantly underestimate the true number of Haredim, due to their reluctance to participate in surveys and censuses.{{sfn|Ettinger|2011a}}<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.amstat.org/sections/srms/proceedings/y2009/Files/305184.pdf |title=Analysis of Nonresponse in a Social Survey with the Sharp Bounds Method |website=Amstat.org |access-date=2013-09-21 |archive-date=2013-09-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921060018/http://www.amstat.org/sections/srms/proceedings/y2009/Files/305184.pdf }}</ref>

The vast majority of Haredi Jews are Ashkenazi. However, some 20% of the Haredi population are thought to belong to the Sephardic Haredi stream. In recent decades, Haredi society has grown due to the addition of a religious population that identifies with the [[Shas]] movement. The percentage of people leaving the Haredi population has been estimated between 6% and 18%.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Arlosoroff |first1=Meirav |title=Haredim Are Leaving the Fold, but the Community Is Growing |url=https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-haredim-are-leaving-the-fold-but-the-community-is-growing-1.8121764 |access-date=11 July 2021 |publisher=Haaretz |date=2019-11-13}}</ref>

=== United Kingdom ===
In 1998, the Haredi population in the [[British Jews|Jewish community of the United Kingdom]] was estimated at 27,000 (13% of affiliated Jews).<ref name="Baumel"/> The largest communities are located in London, particularly [[Stamford Hill#Haredi Jewish community|Stamford Hill]], Golders Green, Hendon, Edgware; in [[Salford, Greater Manchester|Salford]] and [[Prestwich]] in [[Greater Manchester]]; and in [[Gateshead#Judaism|Gateshead]]. A 2007 study asserted that three out of four British Jewish births were Haredi, who then accounted for 17% of British Jews (45,500 out of around 275,000).<ref name="Wise"/> Another study in 2010 established that there were 9,049 Haredi households in the UK, which would account for a population of nearly 53,400, or 20% of the community.<ref>{{harvnb|Graham|Vulkan|2010}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Pinter|2010}}</ref> The [[Board of Deputies of British Jews]] has predicted that the Haredi community will become the largest group in Anglo-Jewry within the next three decades: In comparison with the national average of 2.4 children per family, Haredi families have an average of 5.9 children, and consequently, the population distribution is heavily biased to the under-20-year-olds.

An investigation by ''[[The Independent]]'' in 2014 reported that more than 1,000 children in Haredi communities were attending illegal schools where secular knowledge is banned, and they learn only religious texts, meaning they leave school with no qualifications and often unable to speak any English.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/ultra-orthodox-jews-launch-million-pound-fundraising-campaign-to-fight-converts-child-custody-cases-a7190281.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220509/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/ultra-orthodox-jews-launch-million-pound-fundraising-campaign-to-fight-converts-child-custody-cases-a7190281.html |archive-date=2022-05-09 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Ultra orthodox Jews crowdfunding to stop parents who leave community seeing their children|author1=Siobhan Fenton |author2=Dina Rickman|newspaper=[[The Independent]]|date=14 August 2016}}</ref>

The 2018 Survey by the [[institute for Jewish Policy Research|Jewish Policy Research (JPR)]] and the Board of Deputies of British Jews showed that the high birth rate in the Haredi and Orthodox community reversed the decline in the Jewish population in Britain.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.jta.org/2018/06/20/global/haredi-orthodox-responsible-for-reversing-jewish-population-decline-in-britain-study-says|title=Haredi Orthodox responsible for reversing Jewish population decline in Britain, study says|website=Jta.org|date=20 June 2018}}</ref>

In 2020, it was estimated that there were approximately 76,000 total ultra-Orthodox Jews in the United Kingdom, or 25% of all British Jews, a significant increase from 1998 and 2010.<ref name=":4" />
