“…The concentration of the population in central Israel, together with the deficient public transportation as described above, are leading to a rise in the density of private vehicles in the central and Tel Aviv districts. On one hand, these districts have a very high concentration of residents, as stated, and on the other their cities are usually home to groups with a strong socioeconomic status (Machlica, 2020) who have a high rate of privately owned vehicles. In contrast, the Jerusalem district has the highest concentration of residents in Israel, however since its population includes a relatively high proportion of ultra-orthodox and Arab residents, characterized by a relatively low socioeconomic status (Landau, 2015;May-Yazdi & BenDavid-Hadar, 2018), the rate of vehicle ownership there is fairly low.…”

“…Therefore, in Haifa too there is a high vehicle density. In contrast, the districts in the distant periphery (the northern and southern districts) are characterized both by a low population concentration and by relatively weak socioeconomic groups (Machlica, 2020) and therefore the number of private vehicles in these areas is relatively low. The table presented below presents the vehicle density in selected cities from Israel's different districts.…”

ABSTRACT. This study addresses the growing increase in the number of vehicles in Israel and the resulting shortage of parking in city centers. Israel was chosen as a case study because it is a country with rapid population growth, a concentration of residents in central areas, and inefficient public transportation, which constitute explicit causes of the trends presented in the study. The study seeks to portray the implicit causes underlying the increasing number of vehicles in Israel and of the shortage of parking in city centers. The research method combines quantitative and qualitative techniques. The quantitative part includes analysis of data on vehicle density in various cities in Israel and on the number of parking offenses resulting from the shortage of parking in city centers. The vehicle density index per 1,000 Residents for each city will be calculated by multiplying the total number of Private Cars Registered in the city by the total Number of city’s Residents and multiplying by 1000. At the same time, the Number of Parking Reports data which presented in the study has been obtained from the local authorities themselves, which may cause to biased information according to the interests of those authorities. The qualitative part includes examination of the resultant public policy affecting the increase in vehicles. The data set will include the vehicle and fuel taxation policy. The research conclusions show that the increase in vehicles is affected among other things by economic and political factors that contribute to this growing trend and prevent its restriction, respectively. This study calls to the decision makers to promote and develop public transportation and correct its failures. Israel's public transportation services remain afflicted by many faults that contribute to residents' significant and increasing dependency on private vehicles. A large part of the public transportation means are too crowded, bus and train services do not run frequently enough, and the service is slow. There are insufficient connections between the different means of public transportation, with low access to stations among relatively large parts of the population and there is still a shortage of the necessary personnel and infrastructure for it's develop. In addition, the research conclusions call for a political solution that will make it possible to operate public transportation on Saturdays, while also expanding the use of self-driving cars and allocating outlying parking areas together with rental services for electric scooters and bicycles or shuttle services to city centers.

“…Rates of high school completion and college attendance are also high in both nations, although access to quality education and decent work lag among marginalized social groups (OECD, 2022b). Additionally, both countries rank high in socioeconomic disparities and low in social cohesion in comparison with other Western countries (Machlica, 2020;OECD, 2022b). The transformation of Israel from a mixed market to a liberal market economy has resulted in gross inequalities in earnings, as seen in other neoliberal economic systems (Kristal, 2018).…”

In recognition of growing economic inequality and rapid transformation in the world of work, we seek to understand how young people perceive their futures to develop career development education that supports both personal goals and promotes social and economic justice. Thirty-six students attending high-performing high schools in the United States ( n = 19) and Israel ( n = 17) were interviewed to assess their espoused future plans and conceptions of work and society. Consistent with the psychology of working theory, students' plans were reflective of the social, economic, national, and historical contexts in which they are embedded. US and Israeli students expressed optimism and anxieties about their futures, along with recognition of social and economic inequalities and limited motivation and awareness of how to effect social change. The findings are discussed with regard to implications for career development education and the promotion of social and economic justice.
