מה קרה

Israeli workers earning 15,000 shekels monthly contribute over one million shekels to National Insurance over 40 years, less than many European countries. Unlike the U.S. and Germany, Israel's pension benefits are less tied to contributions. European countries pay more but receive broader social services. Israel's system offers universal health coverage and social safety nets but lower pensions, functioning primarily as social insurance rather than an investment.
