The case for the right to work, presumably, there are some people, who no…

- - - - (American) society largely bases one's value and one's identity around work. Without being in acceptable work, you cannot be a full citizen (daskal, 14)
        
        there exist people who want to work, but cannot find employment by traditional means
        
        Therefore, if society has the ability to provide jobs, they have a duty to do so (in order to allow people to be full citizens)
        
        if a society does not do this, members have the right to reject the welfare system
        
        this is in part supported by workfare supporters - participate in society productively or you will not receive anything (because you are not a citizen(?))
        
        objection: he is grounding a right to work on the cultural norm (that you need work to be a citizen) which is circular. Instead, what we should aim to do is change the norm
        
        response: enacting cultural change is too difficult
        
        response: the norm is well based - it helps to avoid free-riding and encourages helping each other
      - objection: who has the right to reject then? If they are not already a citizen, do they get a right to reject. If they are, why would they? Under this approach, does Daskal's
      - question: he states that full citizenship can't occur without a job. Do people care about being a citizen, as long as they receive their welfare?
- - - - helped to reduce disparity and break down gender roles by providing guaranteed options for work. If this didn't exist, women may have just resorted to traditional roles (Tcherneva, 17)
        
        recognises the rights of both men and women to work during times of both growth and recession (20)
    - - gave those with little experience of work a sense of pride, experience, ability to apply their skills
      - avoids emotional destitution of lack of employment
- - - - in this case the right to work is supplemented by the right to a living wage - the work can't be for very little
  - - - I think that this is a really important point. I need to do more research into the state of Argentina, but I suspect it is less developed. The more developed a country becomes the more work may need to be shifted.
