Discussion Paper 1: "Human Rights and Employment"
by Winston P. Nagan
Abstract: The right to employment influences every other human rights value. The actions of government influences the level of employment and thereby carries with it an obligation. To the extent that employment is one of the most important mechanisms for the allocation of purchasing power to the individual, the right to employment may be seen as the critical foundation of economic democracy. To the extent that economic survival is critically sustained by employment, it could be argued that the right to employment has the character of a fundamental human right.
