The rise in poverty among large families (with four or more children) continued: poverty in these families increased from its high level in 2004 (54.7%) to 58.1% in 2005 and to 58.8% in 2005/6. This situation is a result of the deep cut in child allowances implemented beginning in 2002. Arab families and Arab children continued to be those with among the highest poverty rates. In 2005, 52.1% of the Arab population were under the poverty line, compared to 15.9% among Jews and others.
