Huju, actually Israeli demographers have predicted that in the next generation or two the majority of Israelis will be Haredi or Dati Leumi. As of 2010 the Central Bureau of Statistics report breakdown according to self-identification was 8% Haredi, 12% as religious, 13% as traditional-religious, 25% as traditional and 42% as secular. The figures for the religious increase as the age group becomes lower. Moreover, over 30% of school children are enrolled in religious schools. Ten years, however, is an exaggeration. BTW, I used to work in the actuarial field.
