The Effect of the War and Employment Trends in Arab Society

The Arab Economic Forum (registered NPO) is a non-profit independent research institute, which conducts socio-economic policy research on the Arab society in Israel. The Arab economic Forum conducts feasibility studies and policy research to the highest scientific standards in the fields of economics and society with the aim of leading to a true, fundamental change in the socio-economic status of Arab society in Israel, including making its studies available to those determining policy and to decision-makers in the country.
The Forum attributes great importance to social and economic processes and to their power in shaping the face of Arab society, and in the context of the ethnic divide and the socio-economic gaps existing between the Arab minority and the Jewish majority in Israel.
In addition to its research work and establishing strategic plans, as a practical-feasible translation of the results of its studies regarding ways of empowering Arab society’s socio-economic capabilities, the Arab Economic Forum has established the Arab Business Men’s and Women’s Club – they are the main impetus for strengthening the Arab society’s economy. The Arab Economic Forum promotes these goals through empowering Arab businessmen and women and support in developing their capabilities; stimulating Arab entrepreneurs and the Arab culture of entrepreneurship in Israel; establishing various events and activities to pass on the Forum’s educational-scientific messages through research, giving courses and setting up conferences; all this in addition to opening the Forum’s new website (https://arab-forum.org/).
This document is part of a series of reports by the Arab Economic Forum. As part of the Forum’s work to strengthen the socio-economic situation of the Arab population in Israel, quarterly reports will be published on macro-economic topics which are of crucial importance to Arab society. A short report will be published every quarter, focused around the central developments in a defined field, with broad ramifications on standard of living.
