A considerable number of Bedouin women belong to the poorest population sectors in Israel (Miaari, 2012). Since the promulgation of the Compulsory Education Law 1949, the number of years of schooling among Bedouin women has risen. The researcher added that 94% of the interviewees had a clear picture of the future with respect to themselves, primarily in terms of their continued business and professional development and less in terms of happiness and family growth.
