Withdrawal continues to be popular in Turkey.

In Turkey, in spite of the continuing expansion of family planning services, withdrawal continues to be the most popular method of fertility regulation. In 1993, more than 26% of all currently married women were relying on this method of contraception. Studies supported by the Program point to opposition from men to the use of modern methods by their wives. The use of modern methods in Turkey is, nonetheless, on the rise. Between 1988 and 1993 the prevalence of use of modern methods increased by 3.5% (from 31% to 34.5%), mainly as a result of a rise in the use of the IUD--from 14% in 1988 to 19% in 1993. But during the same period the use of the contraceptive pill declined from 6% to 5%. Condom use remained steady at around 7%, and a slight increase has been observed in female sterilization.

Employment equality legislation, 3 March 1988.

On 1 April 1988, new employment equality legislation came into effect in Israel. The new legislation outlaws discrimination at work on the grounds of sex, marital status, and parenthood with respect to recruitment, terms of employment, promotion, vocational training, retraining, dismissal, and severance pay. Under the legislation, 1) employers may not cause prejudice to workers who allege discrimination, help others to do so, or decline sexual advances by a direct or indirect supervisor; 2) the burden of proof in discrimination claims against an employer is on the employer if the worker can show that requirements set by the employer have been met; 3) company managers and co-owners in a partnership are personally liable for violations on the part of the employer if the firm has over six workers unless they prove that the offense was committed without their knowledge or that they had taken all appropriate measures to prevent it; and 4) no special rights given to women by law, collective agreement, or other work contract are to be considered discrimination. The legislation establishes a Public Council to advise the Minister of Labour and Social Affairs on implementing and publicizing the legislation. It also allows a father to receive the following work benefits that were previously restricted to mothers: 1) leave of absence to care for a sick child and 2) statutory leave and statutory entitlement to severance pay for resigning to care for a newborn or adopted baby if the father is the sole guardian or if the mother renounces her right because she is working.

Long-Term Care Insurance Law, 1986.

This Israeli Law, fully implemented in 1988, is designed to pay benefits to persons who, due to disease, accident, or birth defect, have become functionally handicapped and are dependent on others to carry out basic daily activities and manage their households. A person's entitlement to the benefit is based on an objective test of the person's ability to carry out basic functions such as mobility, washing, dressing, eating, and controlling excretory organs. There are two levels of benefits, dependent upon the severity of the person's disability. A person who is, to a large extent, dependent on the help of others to carry out daily activities or in need of supervision is entitled to a benefit equal to a full disability pension. A person completely dependent on others or in need of continuous attendance to prevent damage or danger to himself or herself or others is entitled to a benefit equal to 150% of a full disability pension. The principal aim of the Law is to aid the elderly, and the benefits are, in general, to be paid to those who provide care for them. Benefits are to be financed by insurance contributions and are subject to income limits.

Judgment (Appeal 49/85), 1985.

The Supreme Rabbinical Appeal Court of Israel held that even though a husband had consented to his wife's artificial insemination with the sperm of a donor, he was exempt from paying maintenance for a child born as result of the procedure. A religious court in Haifa has ruled that a Jewish child born as the result of artificial insemination could only marry a proselyte for fear of marrying someone closely related. See Annual Survey of Family Law, Vol. 11, 1987, p. 182.
