N2 - This article looks at the construction of the legal requirement of "residence" in the context of the right to old-age pension under Israel's social security law in the age of globalization. The authors argue that an aging human society, along with other major social changes of globalization and migration, necessitate a change in the requirement of residence as a precondition for receipt of old-age pension. This requirement was challenged before the Israeli High Court in the Halamish affair in 1999, and despite an initial promise of change, the attempt to reform the legal construction of residence ultimately failed. The article demonstrates how conceptions of social rights in Israeli constitutional law, social perceptions of old age, and plain ageism resulted in persistence of the traditional construction of "residence".
