The Taub Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel, an independent, non-partisan, socioeconomic research institute based in Jerusalem, has been conducting high-quality, impartial research on socioeconomic conditions in Israel, and developing innovative, equitable and practical options for macro public policies to advance the\u00a0well-being\u00a0of Israelis for over forty years. The Center strives to influence public policy through direct communications with policy makers regardless of their political affiliations, and by enriching the public debate.<\/p>\n
The effectiveness of the Center\u2019s work depends upon: access to information, discourse that is not chilled by fear of retribution, a transparent policy-making process, the existence of social institutions that provide essential services to all citizens, and the rule of law. There is plenty of well-founded empirical evidence that the compliance of governments with the legal system and court rulings is a cornerstone of a strong economy and a well-functioning social and economic system; it is key to the population\u2019s well-being.<\/p>\n
It is, therefore, imperative that the government act in accordance with Supreme Court rulings. The preservation of the checks and balances within Israel\u2019s governing institutions is vital as a cornerstone of a thriving society and a resilient democracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Taub Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel, an independent, non-partisan, socioeconomic research institute based in Jerusalem, has been conducting high-quality, impartial research on socioeconomic conditions in Israel, and developing innovative, equitable and practical options for macro…","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[493],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
