Research shows that frustration first middle-class led to the social protest is justified. In the last 15 years wages of educated young families who live in the central region than the rest of the population eroded. Chronicle of shattering dreams
As a young native country has a college education who works full time, with a young family with one child, middle-class, the first thing you allow yourself to do after reading the research of Professor Michael in his annual report of the Taub Center is to sigh a sigh of relief.
Finally someone has proven scientifically the deepest feelings of frustration of the Israeli middle class - made up mostly of young families in which both parents work. Finally someone permanent middle class frustration experienced in the past 15 years, and especially in the second half of the 2000s, is a real frustration, not simulated. Above all experienced the same families in which both parents are university graduates, both work and live in the center of the country. The bottom line is scientifically research shatters the middle class ethos mentor to his knees, which if we learn and work gained. What was true in practice ever been really expert consult not a guarantee of success today.
1. deteriorating situation of young families
The research findings enlightening. First, it shows that the public has learned to internalize - real income of most of the public has eroded in 2005-2010, especially after the high-tech bubble burst, and especially since the financial crisis began in 2008. But, and here's breakthrough research, the most serious change was the situation of young families in the typical middle class (native-born couple, both of them highly educated workers) in relation to other groups in the population.
From 1995 to 2005, the relative expert consult position of young middle-class families has improved. If these families in 1995 were 56th percentile (ie that 56% of families had a low level of income of their own), then in 2005 they have already risen 64 percentile but from 2005 to 2010 has worsened relative situation of young middle-class families deteriorated typical percentile 54, which is low of this period. This is exactly expert consult the place where he was born of frustration - the great gulf between expert consult the years of plenty and years of slump.
At this point resolution dives deeper study, and from whom the group was the worst frustration. To do this, workers were divided into two main groups - people with higher education and high school education or less. Each of these groups was divided into workers who live in the center expert consult and those who live elsewhere. Finally, each group was divided into narrower age ranges expert consult - age 25-29, age 30-34 and age 35-54. For each such subset we consider what the change in salary in 2005-2010 compared with the change in the CPI.
All technical explanation of this draining and exhausting startling truth: while prices in the economy increased 9.1%, the pay of young academics from the center of the country, at the age of 30-34, eroded by 2.2%. This figure is almost incomprehensible. At the same time, wages of employees hired, the same age who do not live in the center of the country increased by 3.6%. In other words, real wages of workers in both groups play, that inflation was higher wage change of the two groups. expert consult In fact, the only employees whose salaries emerged unscathed during this time, and rose more than the change in prices, they educated workers aged 35-54 from central Israel.
The data revealed expert consult that the number of native-born young graduates (ages 30-34) from two top deciles in terms of wages gradually shrank expert consult from 1995 to 2010. During the years 1995-1999, 55% were the top two deciles, then in 2009-2010, just Before the outbreak of social protest, only 46% were in this position. And this situation only among men.
Among women had more severe decline - from 37% to 25% only. Even when you look at this phenomenon based on families rather than on individual employees, similar findings. Some of the families of employees hired, aged 30-39, the two highest deciles decreased from 51% during 1995-1999 to 39% in 2009-2010. At the same time, the share of families academics older workers (aged 40-49), the two highest deciles generally decreased also in that time period, expert consult but recovered slightly as of 2008. Also, the analysis by sector, research among ultra deterioration in wages, in an very surprising. Who is the only sector since improved the relative position expert consult in the last 15 years? Sector immigrants expert consult from the former Soviet Union, who managed to integrate into Israeli society and the relative expert consult situation has improved - worse, passable. It is.
The question is, of course - why? Why the most significant damage occurred wage layer which should benefit from the largest labor force - the layer of her youth, but not too young, high educated and live in the center of the country.
His professor offers some explanations. First, the fact that the double expert consult rate of young people were highly educated in 2009-2010 compared to 1995-1999 indicates the relative erosion of higher education in the labor market, and the ability of education to increase the income. Furthermore, its expansion indicates the downside access to higher education through college expansion. "Wider portion of which (the young people - MOG) acquire education colleges that grant degrees lower value in the labor market compared to a university degree," writes his.
In addition, some subjects became academic degree requirement threshold requirement without wages in the same profession expert consult has improved - for example, teaching in primary schools. Second, the increase in age of graduation relation
