This book presents an institutional ethnography of budgeting
processes of commissioning contracts within welfare, education, and
health ministries as case studies. With the historical surge in the
power position of economic globalization organizations and their
impact on public sectors' withdrawal from the role of primary
women's employers, a gap between care worker employees and public
sector administrators with respect to skill recognition has emerged
in Israel. The book examines precisely how this gap is produced,
enacted, and turned into a force that shapes the experiences of
women in service and caring jobs. Increasingly more researchers are
interested in the unexpected consequences of outsourcing; this
account enters the Israel studies researchers' debate over the
extent to which the neo-liberalization of Israel had restructured
its welfare orientation. Exposing the operation of service delivery
in the gendering of women's work may thus be intriguing for those
participating in this debate. The analysis of the data presented
here enables a portrayal of the negotiating and budgeting processes
at work, which in turn sheds light on the salience of deskilling
and de-professionalization to women's disenfranchisement.
