production in general, and of reproduction in particular. This is true
not only in regard to that labor employed on the site of its reproduction,
but also, and more importantly, in regard to labor employed in Jewish
work places outside the village. As we earlier noted, one of the factors
most conducive to profitability in hiring Arab labor is the fact that the
reproduction of the latter is exogenous to the "modern" sector, and its
cost falls mainly on the "traditional" sector. It is female domestic
labor, including agricultural production for direct consumption that con-
stitutes this semi-subsistence "traditional" sector, in which a large
portion of the cost of production and reproduction has been absorbed. A
massive outflow of female labor from the village to employment in Jewish
work places is likely to eliminate the village potential for absorbing the
reproduction cost of commuter Arab workers in Jewish work places. The ef-
fect of this penetration of industrial capital into the village is thus
two-fold: cheaper utilization of unutilized labor, as well as maintain-
ing the possibility of women's contribution to the reduction of subsis-
tence cost of commuter labor, hence making possible the extraction of
higher rates of surplus value from the latter.
Of course, a further utilization of available female Arab labor re-
serves, most likely in unskilled labor categories, is not likely to re-
place skilled Jewish labor that can then be released for high technology
production in which shortage in labor is most severe. But it does poten-
tially contribute to improving conditions of skilled Jewish labor, as a
way or coping with emigration, etc.
The most recent form for industrial utilization of Palestinian labor
in rural localities is the "Regional Factories" (Mifalim Ezoryim) of the
