A data-based snapshot of Israel’s poor

This 7-page report put out by the Meyers-JDC-Brookdale Institute—a leading center for applied social research in Israel—provides an overview of Israel’s poor. Haredim, Israeli Arabs, and families with four or more children are found to be particularly hard-hit by poverty, despite the fact that figures do show overall improvement on a national level.
