Calcalist reports that Israel ranks second among developed countries in the share of low-wage earners and fourth from the bottom in the size of the middle class.
01 · THE DISPATCH
The Calcalist report highlights Israel's poor standing in income distribution among developed economies. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the underlying data comes from the Adva Center's 2026 Social State of the Nation report, which also found that the top 1% of Israeli households control 58% of capital income. The figures underscore persistent structural inequality despite Israel's strong macroeconomic indicators.
