What is the approximate population of people who are Amish?

Question

Since Amish people don't use technology, do you think the population will fade later in the future?

Answer 1

In this century the Old Order Amish population has grown very rapidly. In 1900 there were approximately 3,700 Amish in North America. By 1990 the estimated figure had increased to 127,800 (adult membership approximately 56,200). According to sociologist Julia Erickson and her colleagues, the Amish are among the fastest-growing populations in the world. They prohibit the use of contraception and have low infant mortality rates. The average Amish woman can expect to have at least seven live births.

Answer 2

As we become dependent on technology, we are the ones at risk. It is our society and way of life that can be lost in any major disaster. The Amish life would not be affected by an oil crises, an asteroid, or some other catastrophe. Most of us 'technophiles' lack the knowledge to create, maintain and continue our own technology.

Answer 3

According to this the population doubles every 20 years.
As long as they have their faith and the ability to procreate, it is unlikely they will disappear.
