Israeli women earn less

Israeli women earn less than half what men earn. Ha’aretz reported that the Industry and Trade Ministry released a study Monday to mark International Women’s Day. Women work 35.4 hours per week, 23 percent less than the average 45.8-hour work week for men, but they earn 58 percent less. The study also found that 3.2 percent of Israeli women hold management positions, compared to 5.7 percent of their male counterparts.
