Deputy director Nitza Kleiner-Kasir of the Haredi Institute for Policy Studies told the Knesset Science and Technology Committee on Monday that 44% of haredi women in high-tech earn more than 10,000 shekels a month, but the average wage of haredi women in this field is 25 percent lower than the average.
Kleiner-Kasir said they find it difficult to bargain over their salaries due to their lack of knowledge of who can and should be contacted, and out of fear of losing their jobs.
