Although women in Israel are participating in the labor market in growing numbers, and many are highly educated and hold central roles in the economy, pay gaps remain high and persistent. The gap in average monthly pay between women and men has remained stable over the past decade, standing at 34% in 2022. The gap in average hourly pay has widened in recent years, rising from 14.8% in 2012 to 21% in 2022.

The infographic presentation is based on a study on gender pay gaps in Israel by Dr. Alina Rozenfeld of the Adva Center in cooperation with the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Israel

The October war of 2023 led to a sharp increase in the need for mental health services on the part of the general population and especially for specific groups within it, among them persons injured by the Hammas attack or dislocated as a result of that attack and the subsequent war, families whose homes were damaged from rocket fire and soldiers suffering from post-trauma. The widespread distress occurred at a time when Israel’s public mental health services had been suffering for years from a chronic shortage of personnel, unfilled positions and, as a result, the general inaccessability of public mental health services.
