יום האישה לא נושא השנה בשורות משמחות עבור נשים בשוק העבודה בישראל. חקרים חדשים שמתפרסמים כאן לראשונה מגלים כי המלחמה פגעה מבחינה תעסוקתית בעיקר בנשים, גם כאלה שבני זוגן לא גויסו למילואים: הנשים הן אלה שנאלצו להישאר בבית עם הילדים, התקשו לתפקד בעבודה, וכתוצאה מכך הוצאו לחל"ת, פוטרו או ששכרן קוצץ
התוכנית המהפכנית שהציג עו"ד שרגא בירן ונערכה בשיתוף משרד האדריכלים הידוע קולקר־קולקר־אפשטיין, תגדיל למיליון את מספר התושבים בנגב המערבי ותמשוך משפחות רבות מכל רחבי הארץ. גם מזכ"ל התנועה הקיבוצית הודיע כי הוא תומך בה בפאנל מיוחד שעסק בנושא בוועידת חידוש העוטף של "ידיעות תקשורת"
דברים נרגשים נשא בפתיחת ועידת חידוש העוטף של ידיעות תקשורת, שהתקיימה באוניברסיטת רייכמן, עו"ד שרגא בירן, נשיא מייסד, המכון לרפורמות מבניות
הדברים נאמרו על ידי אלון דוידי, ראש עיריית שדרות, בוועידת חידוש העוטף של "ידיעות תקשורת", שעסקה בחידוש ושיקום יישובי עוטף עזה מאז ה-7/10. בהמשך דבריו העריך: "צה"ל יצטרך להישאר ברצועת ביטחון בעזה לאורך שנים"
בזמן שהגברים שלהן נמצאים במלחמה, נשות המילואימניקים קורסות תחת הנטל. בניגוד למלחמות העבר, הפעם מדובר באתגר מורכב במיוחד. פאנל מיוחד נערך בנושא בוועידת "גיבורות מקומיות" של ידיעות תקשורת שנערכה במכללה האקדמית נתניה
The Tkuma Administration aims to increase housing and population near the Gaza Strip border, and attract a strong population to the area. A document drafted by the Institute for Structural Reforms proposes a broader planning of the entire northwestern Negev, including Netivot and Ofakim, as a sequence that continues the coastal plain settlements up to Beersheba
Thousands of protected apartments across Tkuma region and the northern border are stuck because of bureaucracy. In Ashkelon, only two plans for urban regeneration in the authorities-initiated route have been approved, and seven plans in the route are in planning. In Sderot, only one program is promoted on the same route, as is the case in Kiryat Shmona. This is how the construction of sheltered apartments is delayed.
The economic disparities in Israel are also reflected in the level of accessibility to protection — according to a study by the Institute for Structural Reform, there are huge disparities between cities in the level of protection — which are often unrelated to the degree of threat to residents.
Down payment and thoughtful distribution of payments in land offerings to entrepreneurs, contractor loans to buyers, balloon loans until the sale of the old apartment to housing improvers, bringing an “army” of laborers from the Far East, retrofit (preservation and adaptation of an old structure) and much more
Planning, approval of plans and actual construction are lengthy processes. When you add the formation of tenants to the equation as well, you get extremely long and unreasonable periods of time. Why do urban regeneration processes have to take so long? How do you shorten them? And is it possible at all otherwise?
A new study by the Institute for Structural Reforms reexamines all the changes that Israeli citizens really need to make our lives here better, and note: judicial reform is not one of them

Let's clear our heads and start all over again. No myths, no prejudices, no defense mechanisms, out of a desire for social justice and economic equality on the one hand and entrepreneurial profit on the other.

Containment of housing prices - how to do it right When “supply” has long been not the solution, and discount promotions are a mockery, a recalculation of trajectory is required here. I met for a chat with economist and commentator Prof. Shlomo Maoz, who gives here an amazing glimpse of the behind the scenes of the real estate market
“Failure to pass the metro law was one of the difficult moments of the outgoing Knesset,” said MK Rabbi Gilad Karib, chairman of the Constitution Committee, Globes housing crisis conference in collaboration with the Institute for Structural Reforms • He said, “It is a law that enjoys broad support, and from very narrow considerations of specific members, it could not be advanced” • Dalit Zilber, Executive Director of the Planning Administration: “The Tel Aviv metropolis will collapse if there is no metro”
The National Strategic Plan on Housing does not recognize and does not take into account the housing needs of about 750 thousand families from the bottom ten • This is stated in a position paper on behalf of the Institute for Structural Reforms • “No land price for the top ten is lawful for a land price for an apartment for the homeless and equity”
Urban renewal is, first of all, a social enterprise. For all the good it offers, it cannot be promoted without recognizing the property rights of property owners, according to the Institute for Structural Reforms
In an official document, the Planning Administration states that flooding the market with apartments is not the solution and does not stand up to reality. Similar to the position of the Institute for Structural Reforms, the Planning Administration believes that there should be a shift to a segmented supply that takes into account factors such as "household size, characteristics of the residents (age and special needs), and their economic ability to purchase or rent the apartment."

The housing market in Israel is based on perceptions that have no grasp of reality. Is there really no building space in the country? Are prices determined by the free market? A thought-provoking study by the Institute for Structural Reforms, led by Attorney Shraga Biran
The founder of the Institute for Structural Reforms describes the failure of the state to citizens to keep the promises that urban renewal programs were supposed to bring with them, and how the situation can be rectified.
In the weekly talk Real Estate podcast, we will host veteran lawyer Shraga Biran, chairman of the Institute for Structural Reforms, in a heartfelt conversation about helping the disadvantaged. The formula developed by the experienced man who thawed thousands of acres across the country into hundreds of thousands of housing units in forty years poses a challenge to the new government - the construction of 7,000 buildings from north to south that will solve all the tribulations of poverty in Israel. A mission certainly possible.
