(Ynet News) Ben-Dror Yemini - Among OECD countries, Israel ranks 4th in healthcare. While the average happiness index score among OECD countries is 6.5 out of 10, Israel's score is 8.5. Israel's Gini index - a measure of income inequality - reached a 20-year low in 2018. Israel is ranked fifth in the world in intergenerational mobility - meaning that an individual's wellbeing is less dependent on the socioeconomic status of his or her parents. Israelis tend to emigrate much less than those in other OECD countries and emigration has declined. In 1990, the rate of those leaving Israel was 5.3 per 1,000. After about a decade, it dropped to 4.2 and by 2017 it had fallen to 1.6.
