Abstract

Do Israelis work more or less than people in other countries? Which population groups in Israel work more and which work less? And how do factors like wage levels, the tax burden, and childrearing affect employment and the number of work hours? This study attempts to answer these questions and to examine the scope of employment and its elasticity with respect to various factors in the current Israeli labor market. -- page 3
