Abstract

This article reports the findings of a study which explored the activities of members of four Israeli Knessets (MKs) between 1990 and 2001 (the 12th to the 15th Knessets), and sought to explore possible connections between their activities in relation to child welfare and a number of social and political variables. The study was based on archival and quantitative data pertaining to MKs' activities. A short overview of the Israeli political system and the child welfare policy arena is presented, focusing on the changes they both went through between 1990 and 2001. The variety of MKs' activities on issues concerning children are described and possible connections between social and political variables and their activities are explored.
