In Israel, the percentage of poor children has fallen by eight tenths of a percent, and their number is 815000.This emerges from the poverty report of the National Insurance Institute for the year 2000
Among families, there was a decline of three tenths of a percentage point, due to an increase of 4 percent and 6 percent in disposable income.
It turns out that the increase in the minimum wage caused a decline in poverty rates. However, there was an increase in the depth and severity of poverty indices. The severity of poverty increased by ten percent. The poverty line for a family of four - NIS 8,764
Among the elderly there is a slight increase in the poverty rate after three years of decline. The poverty rate in Jerusalem is the highest - fifty-four percent and seven-tenths
This is the first decline in many years in the number of poor children in Israel, the continued downward trend in inequality and the incidence of poverty among the ultra-Orthodox and Arabs, and on the other hand, deepening and deepening poverty among non-labor-force populations, mainly elderly and unemployed. The report was submitted to the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Prof. Daniel Gottlieb Research in the National Insurance Institute.
The Gini coefficient of inequality in disposable income declined by 1.6 percent in 2017 and the index of inequality in economic income fell by 1.3 percent. Thus, the Gini Index completed a cumulative decline of 11% since the beginning of the millennium. The decline in the inequality index by disposable money income was similar, but only in 2007.
Israel is still at the top of the developed countries in the rate of poverty among people despite the reduction in poverty and inequality in income in Israel. The report enumerates a number of significant achievements in government policy: First and foremost, the number of poor in Israel has declined, even though the poverty line has risen and the population has grown. However, despite the improvement, Israel continues to hold the title of the country with the highest poverty rate, among other things due to an improvement in other countries close to Israel: 17.9% of Israel's citizens live below the poverty line (according to disposable income), slightly more than the equivalent figure in the US, Turkey and Mexico In terms of disposable income, Israel ranked second, behind Turkey with 23.8% of all children living below the poverty line, but it is important to note that the poverty line in Israel is rising in line with the rise in the standard of living, and in 2017 it increased by 4.6% A similar increase in per capita disposable income.
