It's worth mentioning that Jewish people share most if not all of those same "benefits?" I mentioned for Asians: higher education, lower criminality, etc. So there's surely something there to look at.
It is really difficult to generalize but I see Jewish people less strict and giving more freedom to their children while valuing education. It seems there are multiple articles about the subject [1] mainly triggered by Amy Chua [2] bestseller. BTW I just discovered that her husband is Jewish and he has been interviewed here [3]. All this conversation is turning funny in unexpected ways.
I find it interesting to see almost no Sepharad on this list. And that the list exists at all.
>Nobel Prizes have been awarded to 887 individuals, of whom 195 were people of Jewish descent, although people of Jewish descent comprise less than 0.2% of the world's population.
Guessing it's due to upraising among Ashkenazi and strong networks effects.
