Vision to Reality: The Reut Blog

A paper by The Macro Center for Political Economics in collaboration with the Friedrich Ebert Foundation highlights the Israeli economy’s performance in comparison to the average of OECD countries. The paper shows that while Israel is already reaching most of OECD’s economic targets, it is lagging behind in most of their social targets.
The report follows a publication by the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics on Israeli Society which uses subjective and objective indices to systematically compare Israel to the major EU countries and portrays a comprehensive picture of Israel’s poverty and population at risk.
Such comparative indices allow us to identify Israel’s weak points, expand and enrich the public debate with new concepts appearing in reports and to examine how much progress is needed to achieve the ISRAEL 15 vision – to become one of the fifteen leading countries in terms of the quality of life of its residents.
