AnnotationThis study looks at the role and recent development of categorical benefits - i.e. non-means tested and non-contributory cash benefits - in the UK and Israel. It finds that they play a growing and significant role in the social security systems of both countries. The decision-making process surrounding the adoption of these benefit programmes is examined.
