Work is not just a means of attaining sustenance, or an opportunity to utilise our skills and abilities for economic, social and cultural development; rather, it is our right. The right to work is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognised in international human rights law. It states that everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work, and to protection against unemployment.
