Palestinian Territories

It would be nice if this article had a clarification as to whether this includes the palestinian territories. I'm guessing it doesn't because of the percentages but still, I don't think it's clear enough. -189.135.5.143 (talk) 15:48, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Co-sign. I was curious about it as well. For now, this article is quite vague. CuriousGianni (talk) 03:35, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Demographic

It would also be nice for this article to include some demographic information. As to: what percentage of the below poverty line families are Jewish population, Arab population, Druse etc... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.109.145.31 (talk) 23:58, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Out of Date Data

The charts show data dating as far back back as 1994. No data is more recent than 1999. Data that is 14 to 19 years old is not only useless it is misleading and should be removed from the text and charts.Tomandzeke (talk) 18:57, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious sentence

The article has a sentence that reads:

However, in most recent social mobility has been declining for many and income inequality has been rising.

Sourced to: "Alon, Sigal (2015). Race, Class, and Affirmative Action. Russel Sage Foundation."

These are several problems with this:

The sentence is poorly written, to the point that it's not clear what time period it is referring to (in recent years? months? decades?)
The time period is also unclear because of the word 'recent', which is a WP:WTA.
The source is an offline book but the ref does not specify a specific page, so it's extremely hard to verify this
Actually according to the GINI index, income inequality has not been rising recently (even up to 2015), but going down

While it would be fairly easy to reword the entire paragraph and remove problematic content, I am putting this out here first to see if anyone has the source and/or knows more about this.

Source verification

In January 2021 Bituah Leumi published a report on poverty and inequality in Israel, which showed that 1,980,309 Israelis lived below the poverty line in 2020 - 23% of Israeli citizens and 31.7% of Israeli children. In the Jewish population, the proportion was 17.7%, and in the ultra-Orthodox sector 49%. In the Arab population it was 35.8%. Unemployment benefits alone rescued 23.6% of families from poverty, compared to 2% in 2019.

It is a seemingly trustworthy secondary source, but I couldn't find the primary source that it claims to be quoting. Runxi Yu (talk) 08:40, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
