Ondanks het feit dat meer dan 50% van de ultra orthodoxe mannen niet rond komt, is een meerderheid toch zeer tevreden met hun leven, terwijl ruim 40% van de seculiere mannen niet rondkomt en slechts 28% van hen tevreden is. God maakt blijkbaar veel goed. Om de een of andere reden zijn deze beide vragen niet aan vrouwen gesteld. Zowel ultra-orthodoxe als seculiere vrouwen verdienen een stuk minder dan mannen, al is het verschil bij de seculieren iets kleiner.
Ik vind het percentage mannen dat zegt niet rond te kunnen komen overigens erg hoog, en dat voor een land dat het naar ik heb begrepen ondanks de crisis economisch nog relatief goed doet.
Om meer ultra orthodoxe mannen aan het werk te krijgen zal het schoolsysteem ingrijpend moeten veranderen, zodat hun kinderen een substantieel deel van de tijd zullen besteden aan 'normale' vakken en onderwijs. Dergelijke hervormingen worden tegengehouden door de ultra orthodoxe partijen in de regering, die in iedere coalitie zitten. Zij kunnen wijzen op het veel hogere percentage ultra orthodoxen dat zeer tevreden is met hun leven en daar sta je dan als seculiere econoom met je mond vol tanden.

Report: Only 37% of haredi men work
Salary gap between secular, ultra-Orthodox population significant with haredi men earning 30%, and haredi women earning 35% less than secular women. Earning power between sexes puts women at significant disadvantage in both haredi and secular populations

Only 37% of haredi men work, as opposed to some 80% of their secular counterparts, according to statistics presented to Industry, Trade and Labor Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer while touring centers for women's employment in the ultra-Orthodox town of Modiin Ilit.
Among working women, there is also a significant gap. Some 49% of haredi women are gainfully employed, while 70% of secular women work.
The average gross monthly salary of haredi women is NIS 3,690 (about $980), about 40% lower than haredi men's gross monthly salary, which stands at an average NIS 6,123 (about $1,625).
The gap in earning power between the sexes is lower in the secular population, in which women earn 36% less than men. The average gross monthly salary for secular women is NIS 5,698 (about $1,512). The average gross monthly salary for secular men is NIS 8,955 (about $2,375).
This puts the average gross monthly salary of haredi women at about 35% lower than that of the average gross monthly salary of secular women. The gap between secular and haredi men is narrower, with haredi men earning on average 30% less than their secular counterparts.
Some 52% of haredi men reported that being unable to cover their monthly household expenses in contrast with 42.4% of secular men.
Following these findings, Minister Ben-Eliezer said that his ministry would take measures to integrate the haredi community into the workforce, through initiatives such as professional training courses and additional benefits. Despite the dim statistics, some 63% of haredim said they were highly satisfied with their lives, in comparison with only 28% of seculars.
