The Taub Center Social Welfare Program analyzes the various social welfare programs from the perspectives of structure, availability, accessibility, and coverage; it assesses the extent to which the target populations are aware of their rights and able to utilize them; and it compares the social welfare programs in Israel to those in other welfare states. The studies carried out by the Taub Center in this area deal with topics such as social investment programs, privatization of the social welfare system and the place of civil society organizations within the system, the participation of Arab children in early childhood education and care frameworks, poverty and inequality, and the situation of senior citizens and their place in the labor market.
