Selected Findings - Statistical Report on Arab باتكلا Society in Israel

23 Jul 2024

Half the Arab population (not including East Jerusalem) live in the north of Israel, and the rest reside in two main regions: the Negev and the “Triangle” (an area in central Israel containing the major Arab towns of Tayibe, Tira, Baqa al-Gharbiyye, and Umm el-Fahm). [...] Due to high birth rates in the past, the proportion of children under the age of 18 in Arab society (36.8% of the population) remains higher than the equivalent proportion among Jewish Israelis (32.1%). [...] The labor force participation rate of Arab men rose significantly in 2022 relative to 2021, due to the recovery of the Arab labor market from the effects of the COVID-19 crisis, and it has returned to the levels seen before the outbreak of the pandemic. [...] In the last few years, the average class size in the Arab education system has been lower than the average class size in the Jewish education system. [...] Ahmad Badran is a researcher in the Arab Society in Israel Program at the Israel Democracy Institute and a teaching fellow in the Department of Sociology at the University of Haifa.
