Modi'in, Givatayim boast highest enlistment rates

Figures released by IDF Manpower Directorate reveal that Givatayim has the highest female enlistment rate, while Modi'in takes the top spot for men; Ariel jumps record-breaking 30 places to enter the top 10.

The city of Givatayim has the highest IDF enlistment rate for women, while Modi'in boasts the highest enlistment rate for men, data released by the IDF Manpower Directorate on Tuesday showed.

 

 

The rankings are comprised of three aspects: the rate of enlistment-age recruits (which makes up 50 percent of the overall ranking); the rate of soldiers who go on to become officers (25% of the overall ranking); while the remaining 25% was attributed to the type service—with more weight given to combatants and combat support male recruits and to female recruits who hold senior positions.

 

The figures refer to those who were born in 1997 and enlisted to the IDF in 2015.
