Israel: Social Economic Update for Second Quarter 2005 by the Taub Center
The new Social Economic Update for Q2 2005 offers a comprehensive perspective on social trends and policy in Israel that goes beyond the headlines. It presents a balanced and reliable view of policy and its impact. This issue focuses on the following issues:
- The economy — speed up or slow down – the data is inconclusive
- Unemployment — is Israel back on its way to work?
- Education — the Dovrat Report and more
- Health and welfare services — transfers to the non-governmental sector
- Immigration — Ethiopians and other demographics
The Taub Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel has been involved in influencing social policy in Israel for over twenty years. Taub Center experts recommend viable and credible policy options that combine values of social justice with sound economic principles. Supported by JDC and private donors, the Taub Center is an independent, non-partisan, apolitical research center that is committed to improving the quality of life for all of Israel’s inhabitants.
