Social services are a range of public services provided by government, private, and non-profit

organizations. These public services aim to create more effective organizations, build stronger
communities, and promote equality and opportunity.
Social services include the benefits and facilities such as education, food subsidies, health care,
job training and subsidized housing, adoption, community management, policy research, and
lobbying.[1]
The Ministry of Social Affairs and Social Services (Hebrew: ,
Misrad HaRevaha VeHaSherutim HaHevrati'im) is the branch of government charged to ensure
the welfare of the public in Israel and oversee the supply of services.
The ministry was originally divided into two separate ministries the Labor Ministry and the
Welfare Ministry. In 1977 they were united to be the Welfare and Labor Ministry according to
the view that labor can lead to welfare. In the term of the second government of Ariel Sharon
(2003), the responsibility of work-related issues was transferred to the Industry, Trade and Labor
ministry and in 2007 the name was changed to be Welfare and Social Services Ministry.
