Employment is a human right. According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights "everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment” .This is further reinforced by the preamble to the Constitution of the International Labour Organization providing for the prevention of unemployment and the provision of an adequate living wage.
