{"product_id":"9781782255000","title":"The Right to Work: Legal and Philosophical Perspectives","description":"The value of work cannot be underestimated in today's world. Work is valuable\u003cbr\u003ebecause productive labour generates goods needed for survival, such as food and\u003cbr\u003ehousing; goods needed for self-development, such as education and culture; and\u003cbr\u003eother material goods that people wish to have in order to live a fulfilling life. A\u003cbr\u003ejob also generally inspires a sense of achievement, self-esteem and the esteem of\u003cbr\u003eothers. People develop social relations at work, which can be very important for\u003cbr\u003ethem. Work brings both material and non-material benefits.\u003cbr\u003eThere is no doubt that work is a crucial good. Do we have a human right to this\u003cbr\u003egood? What is the content of the right? Does it impose a duty on governments to\u003cbr\u003epromote full employment? Does it entail an obligation to protect decent work?\u003cbr\u003eThere is also a question about the right-holders. Do migrants have a right to work,\u003cbr\u003efor example? At the same time many people would rather not work. What kind of\u003cbr\u003eright is this, if many people do not want to have it? The chapters of this book\u003cbr\u003eaddress the uncertainty and controversy that surround the right to work both in\u003cbr\u003etheoretical scholarship and in policymaking. They discuss the philosophical\u003cbr\u003eunderpinnings of the right to work, and its development in human rights law at\u003cbr\u003enational level (in jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan,\u003cbr\u003eFrance and the United States) and international level (in the context of the United\u003cbr\u003eNations, the European Social Charter, the International Labour Organization, theEuropean Convention on Human Rights and other legal orders).","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164580921584,"sku":"9781782255000","price":46.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782255000_p0.jpg?v=1763719574","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782255000","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
