Our story - Arlozorov Forum

The Arlozorov Forum is a policy-oriented research institute that aims to raise the quality of life of all residents of Israel through good jobs, fair pay, and equal opportunities.

The Arlozorov Forum is a nonprofit organization, founded by the Histadrut – The General Federation of Labour in Israel. It has been established to formalize and promote socio-economic policy that will shape Israel as a welfare state, through striving for inclusive and sustainable growth, expanding and improving public services, and strengthening trade unions and social dialogue.

In pursuit of this vision, the Arlozorov Forum pairs its up-to-date and comprehensive research with effective outreach advocacy efforts among elected officials and policy makers on the local, regional, and state level, and through the trade union movement, in cooperation with partners in civil society.

Only by promoting a fair economy and a just society can we fulfill the vision of the founders of the State of Israel to develop the country for the benefit of all its residents, while ensuring complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants - today and in future generations.
