Wage Income

Demand for security services has exploded both for residential and non-residential premises due to mounting urbanization, rapid industrialization, and expansion of trade and commerce activities in the country in recent years. This has created enormous opportunity for employment specially for the poor who otherwise may have the least possibility securing a job. The private security industry being abysmally informal, it is perceived that workers here are underpaid. As such the plight of the guards have not improved much in this sector. The city of Ahmedabad is one of the major consumersofprivate security services. Income being one of the prominent determinants of well-being, it would be interesting to look into the aspect of accessibility to prescribed minimum wage,and examine what determines wage of the private security guards in this city.More specifically, this paper endeavours to throw light on the probability of access to minimum wage bythe guards at residential and non-residential premises in the city, and examine the various determinants affecting the income wage of the guards. Pertinent econometric modelshave been constructed for the purpose of the study. Result of data analysis shows that access to minimum wage is not universally entitled to the private security guards in the city of Ahmedabad. The study finds that the residential guards has less chance of having access to minimum wage than that of their non-residential counter in the city. However, both education and training have some positive bearing on the wage income of the guards.

Global Spread

The global spread of neoliberalism has brought with it an increase in practices of outsourcing and subcontracting, and, consequently, the flourishing of private security services which rely on them.  In Israel, these trends, combined with the unique security climate, have encouraged the development of a distinct sub-sector of private security in the form of school security. The rise of private security services has generated research interest. Most studies, however, focus on socio-economical aspects rather than on security guards' personal perspectives. This tendency is even more pronounced regarding school security guards and, to date, no studies have been carried out in Israel examining their viewpoint. This study aimed to address this lacuna by bringing in school security guards’ voice in order to learn from and about them. The study’s approach was qualitative, and the main tool was semi-structured interviews, accompanied by observations and document analysis. The study's findings reveal that the world of Israeli school security guards is informed by one fundamental quality. This quality is liminality, and it colors their experiences, perceptions, and professional relations. Israeli school security guards are always on the threshold: between belonging and not-belonging to their workplace; between commitment to and alienation from their work; between being needed yet disrespected. The paper suggests that this liminality is connected to the global socio-economical changes, and furthermore, it expresses a central aspect of Israeli society, which swings between two incompatible ethe: the security ethos and the neoliberal ethos.   Received: 18 October 2020 / Accepted: 5 December 2020 / Published: 17 January 2021
