Overview
Israel's income share bottom 10% stood at 2.00% in 2021, a rise of +0.00pp from 2020. Israel ranked 67th globally.
Israel’s share of national income accruing to the bottom 10 percent of earners stood at 2.00 percent in 2021, placing the country 67th in the world. The indicator has been tracked for 25 years, beginning at 2.80 percent in 1979, climbing to an all‑time peak of 2.90 percent in 1992 before falling to a trough of 1.70 percent in 2012. The recent level matches that of Bulgaria and Türkiye, both also recording 2.00 percent, while Paraguay is marginally higher at 2.10 percent and Romania slightly lower at 1.90 percent. The post‑peak decline suggests a gradual redistribution of income toward the lowest decile, yet the modest rise since the 2012 trough indicates limited progress. Continued reforms in tax policy, social welfare spending, and labour market regulation could further elevate the bottom‑10 percent share, potentially reversing the modest upward trend observed in the last decade.
