Non-discriminatory hiring practices in Israel towards Arab Citizens, Ethiopian Israelis and new immigrants from Bukhara and the Caucasus

 The present report examines the main actions taken in the labor market whose effect can be described as "non-discriminatory hiring practices" and "affirmative action," with regard to three social groups whose status in the Israeli work force is especially vulnerable: Arab citizens of Israel, Ethiopian Israelis, and new immigrants from Bukhara and the Caucasus. The report distinguishes between two types of action: (1) direct actions, among them vocational training and micro-finance programs, employer incentives, legislation mandating fair representation, and quotas; and (2) policies that have an indirect anti- discrimination bearing, mainly development and infrastructure projects.
