The Zichron Yaakov Initiative
 The objective of the Zichron Yaakov Initiative is to form an action plan for realizing Israel’s social-economic potential. In Israel today, there is no comprehensive, rational, effective and well-defined conception of social policy, and the Initiative’s aim is to form such a conception. We aspire not to write successful position papers, but to create focused, practical projects to be realized by the Israeli government. The Initiative’s work will focus on a number of key issues:
* The labour market – creating jobs and finding solutions for inequalities caused by the free market.
* Welfare policy – streamlining the existing frameworks and creating alternative solutions for weakened populations.
* Social gaps, poverty, and unequal growth.
* Rehabilitating personal economic security.
