(BIZ) Israeli Women - Among The Hardest Workers In The World

"It is often stated that in Israel, the rate of participation in the work force is much lower than other members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). This leads to the impression that Israelis work less than their counterparts in the developed countries. However, at least for Israeli women, this description is far from true.

Israeli women are hard workers. In fact, they are record-holders in terms of participation in the labor market. Israeli women are unaware of this status because of problems in data interpretation: in statistical analyses disparate groups such as Arab women, Jewish-secular women and Jewish-Ultra-Orthodox women are frequently counted together."
