  2. Dimensions of Socio-economic Status • Income changes (entire and panel samples) • Objective and subjective poverty (entire and panel samples) • Persistent poverty (panel) • Determinants of the transition probabilities out of labor force (panel) • Income Inequality and income polarization (entire and panel samples) • Income mobility (quintile transitions)

  3. prices) 2010Household’s Net Income* ( * Incomes were top-coded. In Wave 1 incomes were reported for 2004 . ** Based on Wave 1 weights.

  4. Household’s Equivalent Income*(2010 prices) * Incomes were top-coded. In Wave 1 incomes was reported for 2004 . ** Based on Wave 1 weights.

  5. Entire Sample: Poverty RatesHouseholds with net income below 50% (60%) of the median net income* (adjusted to family size) *median net income of the aged population.

  6. Poverty Rates: Panel Households with net income below 50% (60%) of the median net income* (adjusted to family size) *median net income of the aged population.

  7. Persistent PovertyTransitions Matrix (Panel) Wave 2 Wave 1

  8. Persistent Poverty Percentage of total panel population

  9. Persistent PovertyTransitions Matrix (Panel) Wave 2 Wave 1 One of our research questions is what are the determinants of the transition probabilities out of labor force?

  10. Multivariate analysis of probability of getting into poverty in Wave 2 (Logit regression based on the Panel)

  11. Objective and Subjective Poverty Objective Poverty (50%) and Being Able to Make Ends Meet

  12. Household’s Employment status and Being Able to Make Ends Meet

  13. Objective Poverty (50%) and Self Assessment of Changes in the Household’s Financial Situation (Panel)

  14. Household’s Employment Status and Changes in the Household’s Financial Situation (Panel)

  15. Inequality and Polarization Measures : Net Equivalent Income (Entire Sample)

  16. Inequality and Polarization measures: Net Household Equivalent Income (Panel)

  17. Relative Share of Each Quintile in Total Incomes (Panel)

  18. Income Quintile Transition Matrix (Panel)

  19. Conclusions • Various measures indicate that poverty, income inequality and income polarization remain relatively stable over the follow-up period. • Yet, 25% of people aged 50+ are living in poverty and the Gini index is about 0.48 . • About one third of the families experienced poverty. Only 7% experienced persistent poverty. • Income mobility: About a quarter of people aged 50+ move from the top to the bottom of the income distribution and substantial proportion moved from the bottom to the middle of the. • Objective and subjective poverty are strongly related. • Retirement, health, age, Household composition, education and Nationality and seniority in Israel were found as determinants of the probability of getting into poverty.
