Longitudinal survey to assess the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on Inequality in Israel
Longitudinal survey to assess the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on Inequality in Israel
The initial population of the longitudinal survey is made of adult Israeli men and women (age 18+), who were employed or self-employed in the first week of March, prior to the lockdown of the economy. The data were collected by Panel4all, an online research company that holds an internet panel of tens of thousands Israeli panelists, representing the adult population of Israel. The survey is not a probability sample of the population as only those registered with the panel can be sampled, though it is a sample of the panelist, stratified by age, gender, geographical region, and religiosity. Internet surveys, such as the one we use here, are a very common practice nowadays, and were used extensively in the last three election campaigns in Israel, with quite accurate predictions. We plan to collect data every two months, through August 2020. Thereafter, we plan a quarterly survey, to the end of 2021.

Figure 1 indicates on a time line the data collection waves and lockdown, with unemployment rates in Israel, by gender, estimated from our longitudinal data (dashed) and from labor force surveys (solid) in Israel. (CBS Media Release No. 021/2021 ). It clearly shows that our longitudinal survey estimates unemployment accurately, therefore validating our data.
