This report's overarching objective
is to increase understanding of the causes of poverty in
order to find ways to reduce it among Palestinaians. Three
broad messages emerge from this report: 1) Unless the
Palestinian territories are able to achieve high levels of
economic growth, the prospects for future poverty reduction
are not encouraging. not only will the number of poor
Palestinians grow rapidly, but their share in the population
will also increase, which could become a socially
destabilizing factor. 2) Unless Palestinians gain greater
access to external markets and to better paying jobs,
whether in Israel or in higher productivity occupations, it
will be difficult for them to escape poverty. Presently, the
majority of poor Palestinians live in households headed by
working adults in low-paying jobs that do not provide
sufficient income to raise their families to a minimally
acceptable standard of living. 3) The formal safety net does
not have the financial resources necessary to have a
significant impact on poverty. Nevertheless, it can play an
important role in helping to reduce destitution among
households headed by the unemployable poor and even the
temporarily unemployed. The report's four chapters
compare poverty levels and discuss the microdeterminants of
poverty; analyze the impacts of economic growth, income
redistribution, and labor markets; detail the poverty map;
and discuss improving the social safety net. |
