Civil Service Commission Report | #Diversifying_Israeli_Civil_Service

In mid-2019, the Diversity in Employment Department of Israel’s Civil Service Commission issued a report, “#Diversifying_Israeli_Civil_Service,” tracking diversity among government employees in 2018. The report focuses on the integration of four under-represented populations — Arab citizens, Israelis of Ethiopian descent, people with disabilities, and new immigrants — with a commitment to include ultra-Orthodox Jews in the next report. Over the years, the government has adopted resolutions committing to increase representation of all four population groups in the civil service, including for Arab citizens, with varying degrees of success.
