Extreme poverty and human rights on universal basic income 2017, para. 64
Paragraph
Paragraph text
It does not follow from the gap between theory and practice that labour rights should be compromised, let alone abandoned, but it does highlight the fact that traditional approaches might not have much traction in the face of the systematic weakening of labour market institutions, the dramatic increase in more flexible working conditions, and the greatly increased insecurity, including the loss of non-wage benefits, for those who remain employed.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
