One can argue over the details, but not the essence: Israel needs to encourage ultra-Orthodox men to get jobs, using all the tools at its disposal. Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s recent decision to stop subsidizing day care for families in which one parent doesn’t work was intended to increase employment rates among ultra-Orthodox men. The pace of ultra-Orthodox integration into the labor market increased after then-Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu implemented his “from stipends to work” program back in 2003. But in recent years, this trend has reversed. Nor did this happen by chance.
