Towards the abolition of the sick pay - the women who do not find work: "hint that the job is not for mothers"
In two days, those aged 45 and under will no longer be entitled to Corona unemployment benefits, including many mothers who have difficulty finding a decent job.
"They say the market is flooded with jobs, but the employment bureau does not offer anything."
In the periphery, the situation is more difficult, with a low supply of jobs and high competition.

Lieberman's outline for a complete cessation of challah for all those aged 45 and under, regardless of the number of "dependents" (children), as was the case with former Minister Israel Katz, may leave many families with children without a proper response.

Orly Weisfried, 39, is a single mother of two daughters. Whispered is currently living on alimony paid to her by Social Security and unemployment benefits. Canceling them in two days will bring her to a monthly income of only NIS 3,000. Weisfrid, like many others, is looking for a mother servant, who will also allow her to be with her daughters after they return from the frames.
She said, "Until Corona, I worked part-time, and now I can't find one. The market is flooded with workers. In two days I will be left with a monthly income of only NIS 3,000, when I raise two daughters alone." She says that after the "Wall Guard" operation, her daughters are not ready to stay home alone for more than an hour. In addition, the National Insurance Institute limits the scope of her job so that her total income, including alimony, does not exceed NIS 6,000, which makes it difficult to search.
"There are many other mothers in my situation, and this is a real delusion. People are thrown into the water to cope. I do not understand what they want from the people. Nothing can be determined, I can not commit to work, the girls will be free, this time there will be closure, this time "I can not leave the girls alone so long. Especially after all the alarms we had, they are anxious and do not agree to be left alone for more than an hour or two," she says.

M., 44, and the mother of two small children aged three and four, was fired from a large company six months ago in which she worked for a decade. She has a master's degree, and until the second closure worked in a managerial position. The company decided to become more efficient and the requirements for it changed, so M. found herself out very quickly.
"In the last six months I'm at home, I've been looking for work but there have not been many offers. Now I'm just before the end of the application. It is not a parameter for anything. I'm 44 and a half years old, easier to find a job than someone who is 45 and a month old and in the same situation? "She wonders. She further describes her efforts in finding a job:" Talk about the market being flooded with jobs, but when I get to the employment bureau they offer you nothing. I arrived at the employment bureau even before I was asked to report to find out if there was any professional training. The clerk just grinned at me. "
Like many parents who run out of entitlement to pay the sick pay, M. raises another issue - a summer vacation during which she will have to be with her children, at least for the last two weeks of August. "I do not now see an employer I work with for a month and a bit, from today, who will agree to take me on leave. Of two weeks.
Bottom line I do not know what to do if they do not extend my unemployment benefits.
I'm telling you the truth.
Maybe I'll even go to work as a waitress. "
Unemployment in the periphery
The issue of employment in the periphery is a painful issue for many unemployed Corona - where the supply of occasional jobs is much lower than in the central region, and competition for any vacancy is higher. "For every job, there are 200 jumpers," says S., a 43-year-old mother of 8 who lives in the Upper Galilee. "Since the second closure I have started going to interviews in professions that are not 'me' at all. In hotels for that matter and in any case I am told I am 'over qualified', or implied that the job is not suitable for mothers. I am asked questions like, 'What happens in terms of hours' or I am asked' Are you not planning any more children? '".
Prior to Corona, S. worked as a mortgage advisor. Now, a background before graduating, she is willing to compromise on both the salary and the quality of the job. She says, "I am looking for a job in a frenzy. I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself. Every job that comes in I jump,I am in all the groups on Facebook and ask for help from everyone I know. "
"This is a wrong decision by the government. After all, from the age of 38 or so, we are starting to look at ourselves differently in the employment market. We are young, but the generation belongs to the younger ones than us. My spouse works, so we will manage and shrink,
She asks.
"The outline of the finance minister hurts hundreds of thousands of unemployed."

The Employment Promotion Headquarters, a partnership of 34 social organizations, said the sweeping outline proposed by the finance minister hurts hundreds of thousands of unemployed, especially those who have special difficulty finding work, such as mothers of young children seeking "motherhood", as well as unemployed people from geographical areas and groups An age in which unemployment is still high.
Tali Nir, CEO of 121 - an engine for social change, leading the headquarters, says: "The corona has flooded the problems women experience at work in general and the fact that they - especially mothers of young children and older women - are the first to be harmed in a crisis. When the economy has not yet recovered from the crisis, they are also the last to find work as many employers prefer not to employ mothers of toddlers or women aged 60 and over.
"" The government can still adopt a differential outline for unemployment benefits,"It will take into account the difficulties of these groups and it is important that it also includes active assistance in finding work or training that will guarantee them an employment horizon," Nir concludes.
