They create jobs and contribute to the community's identity and cohesion. They are often the driving force behind the market for entrepreneurship and innovation, which are an important component of economic growth: This is because of their ability to break paradigms and take advantage of technological possibilities that larger businesses do not use.

]]> In the last six months, we conducted a study aimed at examining the situation of self-employed and Haredi business owners. As part of the research, a comprehensive survey was conducted on approximately 400 Haredi business owners, with the aim of establishing the characteristics of Haredi business owners, the state of Haredi businesses, their barriers and opportunities.

We now have an up-to-date overview of the Haredi business owners, with the help of which we can develop plans to promote entrepreneurship and business in Haredi society, while emphasizing the definition of goals and milestones for the policy makers.

We were asked by the Jerusalem Municipality to assist it in understanding the situation of at-risk youth from Haredi sector in the city, and of the various aid options that the municipality operates.

]]> Studies regarding youth at-risk poses several methodological challenges. Naturally, this is not a topic that people like to talk about, and therefore there is a natural tendency to hide information, change it, etc.

Accordingly and in addition to a round of interviews with care providers in the municipality, and with a representative sample of Haredi parents from all denominations, we also went out into the streets and developed unique research tools that will help us overcome problems of under-reporting and other biases.

We were able to reach a good assessment of the numbers, the deep currents and the factors of risk and opportunity. For example, we discovered that the variable that most strongly predicts dropping out of school is the boy’s or girl’s religious level. Much of the information we discovered, especially the great importance of the parental bond as a factor preventing dropout, could help not only the dedicated care providers at the Jerusalem Municipality, but also parents, Rabbis and teachers.

]]> The institute’s research team, led by institute fellow Dr. Neri Horowitz, composed a situation report prospectus of the fabric of haredi life in a variety of fields and contexts. The document combines data on haredi society from various sources, and with respect to a range of social, economic and cultural aspects. These data serve the research community and decision makers in this field. The document collates data from the big government surveys, various administrative data and focused research by bodies within haredi society and builds a broad, rich and detailed picture.

The document was compiled with the assistance of Merav Greenstein from the Research and Economics Administration at the Ministry of Trade and Industry, and the staff of the Aaron Institute for Economic Policy.
