In 2006, for example, the poverty rate among families with no wage-earner was about 76 percent; among families with one breadwinner, about 37 percent; and among families with two breadwinners, about 4 percent. These figures paint a very clear picture. Poverty in Israel, however, is closely related to Israel’s demographic features.
Based on the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) Income Survey, the majority of poverty is concentrated in two groups in the population: the Arab sector and the ultra-orthodox sector (Haredi).
