Israel's 2024 Income Inequality Drops Due to War Aid, Not Stronger Economy

Israel's household income inequality decreased in 2024, with the Gini coefficient falling to 0.333. This improvement was driven by a 15% real-terms increase in government benefits and support payments, which compensated for a 1.4% real-terms decline in income from work. The report attributes these changes to the economic impact of the ongoing war and warns that the reduction in inequality is temporary, relying on emergency funding rather than a stronger labor market.
