Research to resolve

Housing and Urban Renewal

The Institute for Structural Reforms has been engaged in the field of national housing policy for over a decade. The Institute proposes a program of broad, long-term national housing policy with clear goals and objectives, which is not subject to an exchange of government. Our program is based on solutions for the different segments of the population and especially for the weaker strata, young couples, the elderly and the middle class.

Socio-Economic Inequality

The Institute for Structural Reforms research both income and wealth inequality. While income is derived from work, wealth can be accumulated from financial capital as well as property ownership. We examine these economic-social inequalities, their affect and variation in Israeli society.

Technology and Society

The Institute for Structural Reforms focuses on ways in which technological developments affect inequality in Israeli society — for example, how artificial intelligence will impact jobs that are likely to become obsolete in the labor market, and which groups are at risk of being harmed as a result. The Institute also addresses digital health as a means of promoting advanced, socially-oriented, and accessible medicine that serves the common good.

Poverty, Fundamentalism and Terror

How does the link between poverty, religious extremism and terrorism exist in the Gaza Strip? We study this question in Israel and also in other countries of the world, from the perspective of political economy, policy, etc. For example, how Israeli policy in closing the Gaza Strip affected voting patterns of Palestinians

Spatial Plan for the Western Negev

The Institute for Structural Reforms aims to promote research and reforms in the field of AI to reduce economic and social inequality. For example, focusing on AI in education can help bridge the gap between children and teenagers in central areas and those in peripheral regions. Initiatives like these can lead to increased employment opportunities and higher incomes for marginalized populations.
