?:abstract
  • This study focuses on workers identified in the OECD Survey of Adult Skills as highly skilled and examines their employment characteristics, wages, and the degree to which they are employed in occupations demanding high skill levels. Although the survey data show that the skill level of highly skilled workers in Israel is lower than in other developed countries, it appears that these workers are fulfilling their potential to a greater extent. They have a greater tendency to be employed in high-paying professions and are less likely to be found in low-paying positions that do not require high skill levels. The result is that wage gaps between Israel and other countries are narrower at higher skill levels and the wages of the highest-skilled workers in Israel approach those of their counterparts in the selected OECD countries examined. This is particularly true in the case of men. The successful utilization of human capital in Israel is an indication of the need for policy makers to focus attention on low-skilled workers. Although the share of these workers with a college education is high, it has been found that they are often characterized by a low return to their education. This highlights the limitations of increasing accessibility to higher education as a way of reducing disparities and the need to improve basic skills at early education stages. Special attention should be devoted to the Arab Israeli population since, in contrast to other groups, it is characterized by low returns to both skill and experience in the labor market.
