abstract: 'The rise in inequality in most industrial countries has drawn attention
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to the social and economic processes underlying it. This study examines
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
how changing educational attainment and employment patterns of women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(mainly) are impacting households'' income distribution, with Israel as a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
case study. The level of income inequality in Israel, which is one of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the highest in the Western world, has risen significantly in recent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
decades, along with a rise in education and labor force participation,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
especially among women. Using counterfactual analysis of the Theil index
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between the years 1983 and 2008, our findings show that the share of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
highly educated households has soared, together with a rise in the share
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of fulltime dual-earner households. There has also been an increase in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the share of doubly fortunate households: both highly educated and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fulltime dual-earner. All these changes have contributed to the rise in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income inequality. The study emphasizes the importance of the joint
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
change in educational attainment and participation level as an important
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mechanism behind the rise in income inequality.'
