Prof. John Gal, Chair of the Taub Center Welfare Policy Program and Senior Researcher Dr. Yael Navon presented findings from the Taub Center’s Initiative on Early Childhood Development and Inequality and policy implications for Israel’s new government to JDC board members.
“While the early childhood education system was initially established to encourage mothers to join the labor market, today it is clear that it has a major role in contributing to mobility in later life among infants in low-income families. This requires policies that encourage access to the system in poor communities, particularly among the Arab population in Israel” - John Gal
