Introduction
- Compensation of employees—foreign employees in Israel is divided into 2 types: Palestinian workers and others foreign workers.

- Source for wages and salaries: Population and immigration authority administrative data.
- Others foreign workers
- Data sources for the number of others foreign workers:
- Illegal workers: information about entries of residents from developing countries which staying above a certain time in Israel. Data derived from Population and immigration authority and the Demographic department in the CBS.
- Work permits: administrative files (border control data, Population and immigration authority).
- Unregistered foreign workers data based on Population and Immigration Authority.
- Estimation for compensation of employees of others foreign workers is based on average monthly wages per employee job of workers from abroad which reported to the National Insurance Institute of Israel by their employers.
