Right to work

This article is about the human rights concept. For the U.S. anti-union laws of the same name, see Right-to-work law.

The right to work is the concept that people have a human right to work, or to engage in productive employment, and should not be prevented from doing so. The right to work, enshrined in the United Nations 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is recognized in international human-rights law through its inclusion in the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, where the right to work emphasizes economic, social and cultural development.

The Human Rights Measurement Initiative[1] measures the right to work in countries around the world, based on their level of income.[2]
