Access to safe and lawful employment is a fundamental human right. It applies to all
persons, including refugees and asylum seekers, and with good reason. When
permitted to engage in safe and lawful work, an individual may fulfill his or her basic
survival needs and contribute to the needs of the family, community and the country
in which they reside. The realization of the right is the means through which the
individual may achieve a range of other civil, political, economic, social and cultural
rights, fulfilling the human desire to feel useful, valued and productive. |
