Happy Women’s Day

Being International Women’s Day and all, how’s about a few stats to show how Israel is shoring up on matters female?

Thanks, Yediot Ahronot (Hebrew daily) for the following figures (pertaining to Israel):

- The average woman earns $800 less per month than her male counterpart
- Women work about 35 hours per week/men work nearly 46
- The average marrying age for Jewish women is 25 (and rising, say reports)
- Most have a first child at age 30
- Number of kids per household hovers around 2.69 (where’d the other .31 of that kid go?)
- Of a 2.7 million civic workforce, 1.3 million is women
- Moslem women in Israel marry at age 22 and average four children
- Christian women living in Israel marry at 24 and average 2 children

Happy Ladies Day to All. We have our work cut out for us…
