Israel is an interesting case among industrialized countries as the level of inequality is high across a number of measures. The country is extremely divided along ethnic, national, religious, and political lines, producing unique conditions within which the effects of factors such as gender, class, region, age, and education are highly contextualized. Income inequality in Israel is among the highest in the Western world; the poverty rate and income gap between classes are similarly high. The chapters in this volume address different aspects and areas of such inequalities in Israel. Conclusions drawn here expand our knowledge and understanding of the various mechanisms through which inequality is produced and maintained in Israel as well as the role that state policies play in minimizing or increasing the impact of these mechanisms.Social structureEqualityEthnology—Middle East Political economyRegional economicsSpatial economicsStatistics Social justiceHuman rightsSocial Structure, Social Inequalityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010Middle Eastern Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411110International Political Economyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140Regional/Spatial Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000Statistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17040Social Justice, Equality and Human Rightshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33070IsraelEconomic policyIsraelSocial policySocial structure.Equality.Ethnology—Middle East .Political economy.Regional economics.Spatial economics.Statistics .Social justice.Human rights.Social Structure, Social Inequality.Middle Eastern Culture.International Political Economy.Regional/Spatial Science.Statistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law.Social Justice, Equality and Human Rights.339.2095694Khattab Nabiledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiaari Samiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtStier Hayaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910253351903321Socioeconomic Inequality in Israel2500252UNINA
