Down and Out in Be'er Sheba and Afula

Orly Benjamin, a professor of sociology at Bar-Ilan University, discusses her new book Gendering Israel’s Outsourcing: The Erasure of Employees’ Caring Skills, which offers a feminist critique of socioeconomic and political processes that have affected the most precarious sectors of the Israeli labor market in recent decades. This season of the Tel Aviv Review is made possible by The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, which promotes humanistic, democratic, and liberal values in the social discourse in Israel. Tel Aviv Review is also supported by the Public Discourse Grant from the Israel Institute, which is dedicated to strengthening the field of Israel Studies in order to promote knowledge and enhance understanding of modern Israel.
