| Summary/Abstract |
This paper investigates the labor market responses to conflict and labor market disruptions in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. From 1987 to 1995 the West Bank and Gaza Strip witnessed an increase in instability as political conflict disrupted the economy. This paper finds that disruptions later in the period are associated with increased reallocation between sectors and lower unemployment, compared to equivalent shocks earlier in the period. Additionally, the effects of these shocks are primarily felt by younger workers. The findings are consistent with a decrease in human capital investment during this time, but several alternative explanations are also explored.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article summarizes a uniquely thorough study of the first generation of Palestinians to have lived the whole of their lives under occupation. Findings from group interviews and large, representative surveys of men and women from the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip in 2011 draw a complex portrait of day-to-day life both currently and historically, including: widespread political activism that they continue to prize; high levels of exposure to often demeaning political violence and restriction of movement; limited access to basic resources, low employment stability and poverty; high levels of social cohesion, but also of lack of safety, political instability, fear for the future, stress, and feeling broken. Most were not optimistic in 2011 about the peace process but remained, confident in their ability to manage what the future brings. The findings also show that each of the three territories has unique types and levels of challenges.
