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.
