The Taub Center Labor Market Policy Program examines the functioning of the Israeli labor market, with a focus on topics such as employment, wages, income inequality, and the labor market of the future. The research analyzes differences between different population groups; by gender, ethnic group, age, level of education, employment sector, occupation, and more, both over time and relative to other countries. The Taub Center’s research in this area has in recent years focused on topics such as the top wage decile in Israel, working from home, returns to education in the labor market, employment and the level of happiness among the elderly, the overeducation of workers, the increased participation of women in the work force, Haredim (ultra-Orthodox Jews) in the labor market, and discrimination in employment.
