Government Companies: Deep Gender Gaps
A review of the 294-page commissioner's report shows that the most prominent gender discrimination is among government company employees: the average gross full-time wage per woman in government companies is 27% lower than the corresponding figure for men, and in government monopolies this gap reaches more than 42%.
In this context, the report states that
"in the last five years alone, the wage gap between men and women among government companies has narrowed by about 2%
.
"
Moreover, the
proportion of CEOs in government companies stands at only 1%
, and in the position of chairman of a board, a woman holds only 6% of these companies.
Moreover, the proportion of women employed as high-ranking or salaried employees in government companies has remained unchanged over the past decade.

Minimum wage for assistants in local government
The wage gap between men and women in local government was about 23% in 2019, and only about 10% of the executive chair positions The most senior position in this sector is staffed by women. However, the proportion of women employed as incumbents or as high paid in government Domestic has risen by about 10% in the last decade and stands at about 38%, compared to a 3% increase in all public
bodies.Before celebrating the seemingly encouraging figure, one should take into account that it is a joy of the poor, as according to the report local government is the only sector where wages The average is lower than the average wage in the economy.
The reason for this can perhaps be found in the following figure: Local government is one of the largest employers of assistants, and since the "second assistant" reform in 2015, which required the employment of two assistants in every kindergarten, the number of assistants .
The report shows that some local authorities face the effects of absenteeism, failure to sign a watch and difficulty in recruiting new assistants, with a threshold condition for this position being 12 years of schooling. The starting salary for public sector factions in 2019 was only NIS 5,300 per month (minimum wage ).
