Living Kidney Donations in Israel: The Changing Impact of Religiosity
Although the influence of religiosity on motivation to donate is established in the literature, this study inquires deeper to examine the impact of religiosity on a range of questions, such as perspectives on organ donation in general, postoperative experiences, and the role of the family in organ donation. Using data from a survey of 749 living kidney donors in Israel, we found that while religiosity levels serve as an indicator of willingness t…
Young adulthood and the city: Exploring the micro-foundations of youthification
This article explores the micro-foundations of youthification—the growing concentration of young, unmarried individuals in amenity-rich central cities. While previous research has established age and lifestyle preferences as key drivers of this process, given the literature’s focus on quantitative analysis, the question of how young adults themselves come to associate young adulthood with urban living remains largely unexplored. Utilizing qualita…
Immigrant Selectivity and Educational Outcomes of Immigrant Children: A Temporal Perspective
Despite much research on immigrant selectivity, little attention has been given to its temporal dimension. Thus, while immigrant selectivity has been theoretically identified and empirically demonstrated, it has been viewed as a relatively stable social occurrence. The study reported in this paper examined temporal changes in immigrant selectivity using an extensive dataset on migration from the former Soviet Union (FSU) to Israel between 1989 an…
The Bourdieusian Paradox: Teachers’ Cultural Capital and Educational Reproduction
In Bourdieu’s original cultural capital theory, students’ cultural capital is set against the capital that “pedagogic work” wishes to instill in them. However, the literature has focused exclusively on the cultural capital of students, without examining the effect of teachers’ cultural capital on social reproduction. This article addresses both sides of Bourdieu’s original equation, thereby covering two problems in the literature: (1) difficultie…
Differences in stated attitudes vs. realised friendships among Jews vis-à-vis Arabs in Israel
Previous research has documented differences in majority attitudes towards minority groups. However, there is a lack of research on (1) how attitudes towards minorities differ among majority subgroups, and (2) how attitudinal differences relate to interpersonal relationships between majority and minority members. This article investigates whether Jewish university students from two majority subgroups in Israel – Ashkenazim (European lineage, high…
When a door closes, who can access the window? Second chance alternatives for higher education as an institutionalized 'compensatory advantage' mechanism
In Israel, a high school matriculation diploma is a prerequisite for academic studies. 'Second chance' alternatives can bypass this requirement. Although originally designed to offer disadvantaged groups greater access to higher education, the alternatives may also serve as a 'compensatory advantage' mechanism for students from affluent backgrounds. This study examines both possibilities. Based on administrative data of children born in Israel fr…
Stagnation and De-segregation: The Expansion of Palestinian Arabs Education in Israel
Since the 1990s, Israel has gone through a significant academic educational expansion. However, the part of the Israeli citizen Palestinian Arab population in this expansion was delayed until the last decade. The purpose of this paper is to explore the nature of the delayed participation of the Arab population in academic educational expansion. Using age-period-cohort models and labor force surveys from 1995 until 2021, I present the trends in th…
Educational tracking and social inequalities in long-term labor market outcomes: Six countries in comparison
In this country-comparative study, we ask to what extent differentiation in secondary education accounts for the association between social origins and social destinations in adult age. We go beyond the widely applied formal definitions of educational tracking and particularly pay attention to country-specific approaches to educational differentiation. Our main expectation is that once we factor in these particularities, the degree to which educa…
Language Used at Home and Educational-Occupational Mismatch of Migrants by Gender
The ability of migrants to use the host country's language is crucial to their integration. Nonetheless, the association between migrant literacy and their labor market outcome is less explored compared to the association between their educational attainment and their economic integration. Moreover, this ability has another vital role in immigrant assimilation, serving as an indicator of cultural capital. The current study, therefore, examines th…
The Persistence of the Gender Earnings Gap: Cohort Trends and the Role of Education in Twelve Countries
Studying twelve countries over 30 years, we examine whether women's educational expansion has translated into a narrowing of the gender gap in earnings when including persons with zero earnings. As educational attainment is cohort-dependent, an Age-Period-Cohort analysis is most appropriate in our view. Using the micro data from the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Database, we show that while, in terms of attainment of tertiary education, women hav…

Inequality of educational opportunity at time of schooling predicts cognitive functioning in later adulthood
Findings suggest that IEO is able to substantially influence cognitive development with long-lasting impacts. Lower-educated women of the cohorts under investigation may have been particularly vulnerable to high-inequality educational contexts

From social origin to selective high school courses: Ability grouping as a mechanism of securing social advantage in Israeli secondary education
Globalization, place and the life course: Local economies and middle-class transition to adulthood in two Israeli cities
This study explores the ramifications of local economic differences on entering adulthood in the context of globalization. The effect of globalization on patterns of entering adulthood is usually perceived as filtered by particularities at the national level and as differentiated mainly by class. However, economic differentiation within the same country at the regional and municipal level is mostly overlooked. To address this gap, the authors com…
Second-Chance Alternatives and Maintained Inequality in Access to Higher Education in Israel
Students are expected to obtain a matriculation diploma during their high school years. Throughout the world, it is considered as a precondition to gaining access to higher education. However, those who failed to meet this criterion can employ, in some cases, “second-chance” alternatives—either to obtain a diploma at an older age, or to enter specific academic programs that do not require one. The literature on second-chance alternatives tends to…
Taking Their Place: Educational Expansion and Inequality of Educational Opportunities—A Gendered Perspective
Still Great: Subjective Intergenerational Mobility and Income Inequality
In recent years, the authors of several studies have established that income inequality is negatively associated with intergenerational income mobility in a phenomenon known as 'The Great Gatsby Curve.' Yet, extant research on the effects of inequality and social mobility on people's perceptions and social and political behavior has yielded contradicting results. In light of these inconsistencies, the aim of the current study was to evaluate the …
