Israel's Reserve Soldier Costs Strain Economy
An Israeli study reveals the economic costs associated with reservist soldiers serving in the Israeli army, with broad impacts on the market and employment. The number of workers absent due to conscription reached a peak of approximately 154,000 in November 2023, then decreased to 21,000 before the Iran war in August 2024, with a temporary rise to 70,000 in September 2024 due to escalation in the north. The estimated monthly cost of serving about 60,000 reservists is around 2.3 billion shekels (approximately 777 million dollars), with economic impacts including losses in production and family work hours. The service demands significant financial and economic sacrifices on the Israeli economy.
