Abstract:

While there is a range of problems being evidenced by people coming to the municipality's social welfare agency for services, the majority of needs are child and family related. The large percentage of these reported problems (45%) indicates that the investment of resources must be targeted to this issue, if for no other reason than its long term implications for Israel.
