Dr. Einat Lavee (Department of Human Services and The Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Poverty and Social Exclusion) recently submitted a comprehensive qualitative study on poverty in Israel. The study is part of an international project led by Stanford University to find new methods for assessing poverty. In this first-of-its-kind study, Lavee examined the risk factors leading to poverty in Israel among different population groups, as well as the social, economic, and psychological obstacles these groups face. Lavee’s research aims to develop tailored solutions to break the cycle of poverty. She was interviewed in The Marker (in Hebrew), Israel’s leading business magazine. The research was supported by Israel National Social Security Agency (Bituach Leumi) and the University of Haifa’s Research Authority. | DOWNLOAD FULL REPORT (in Hebrew)
