“The rise in inequality is one of the major social changes of our time and challenges the most basic values of Israeli society.” Prof. Meir Yaish, Department of Sociology

The center is the first of its kind in Israel, unique in its scope and interdisciplinary research agenda.
University of Haifa is uniquely qualified to lead research and training on inequality.
The Center is bringing together its leading scholars from departments of sociology, history, social work and welfare, and education.
University of Haifa’s reputation as a leading interdisciplinary research institution strongly positions it to become a center of excellence in this field.

The Haifa Center for the Study of Inequality is committed to providing research, policy analysis and training on inequality. The Center has five main objectives:

To monitor and study the evolution of inequality in Israel.
To build a state-of-the-art infrastructure for research on inequality (e.g., data lab, research lab etc.);
To provide public, policymakers and other stakeholders science-based evidence and insights on inequality in Israel and elsewhere (e.g., dynamic website, briefs, Haifa conference on inequality);
To disseminate data and research on inequality to researchers and the general public.
To train the next generation of scholars, social activists, and policy makers (e.g., undergraduate studies on inequality, scholarships for MA, PhD. and post-docs, research MA program on ‘inequality and welfare regimes’).
