The plan begins with raising reservists' salaries and bonuses and extends to ensuring that students in the reserves receive the support they need.
The raise means that reserve soldiers will get a minimum monthly wage of NIS 9,000 but will still get the average of their last three salaries if it comes out higher.
Higher nominal wages indicate continuing inflation within Israel, which could lead to further counter-inflationary action from the Bank of Israel.
The degree of improvement over time has been "disappointing," said Heriberto Tapia, research and strategic partnership adviser at UNDP and co-author of the report.
