The main feature of this book is the attempt to study the implications of the post-World War II notion of "entitlement" to social security, within the framework of Israel's economic constraints at the macroeconomic plane. This leads to the development and the applications of quantitative measures to the twin notions - the "frontier" of the welfare state and the "frontier" of social security. Though naturally set and elaborated in the empirical context of the Israeli economy, the evidence of the containment of the welfare state in industrialized countries from the 1980s onwards, is studied. An operational plan for the reform of Israel's social security system is put forward, involving an attempt to integrate the classical Beveridge notions - "universality", the "contributions" requirement and the "pay as you go" technique of financial social security within the relevant economic and fiscal constraints focusing on the equity dimension and the politics of the welfare state.
