| Summary/Abstract |
This article reviews the attitudes of the Israeli labour movement, particularly the position of Mapai, the dominant party in that movement, regarding the development of welfare policy in Israel from the establishment of the state in May 1948 until May 1977, when Labour lost power to the Likud party. The review and discussion focuses on the development of social security ‒ the national insurance system, the welfare services ‒ the provision of assistance to people in need, as well as the personal care services, which are primarily provided by social work professionals.

| Summary/Abstract |
During its 62 years of existence, the National Insurance Institute (NII) has undergone major changes, in line with the radical shifts in Israeli society, that have affected its special status, its functions, the policies it pursued, the organizational and managerial manner of its operation and other aspects of its activities. All these have had an immense impact on the wellbeing of the population as a whole and especially on the welfare of the weaker population groups. This article examines some major features of these changes, including the NII’s position within the governmental structure, the changing nature of public control over the organization, the shift in public attitudes toward its functioning, the protection of value of benefits in times of changing economic circumstances, the extent of its universal approach and its relationship with the insured population.
