The right to just and favourable conditions of work (Art. 7) 2016, para. 18
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Closely linked to the notions of fairness and equality, "remuneration" must also provide a "decent living" for workers and their families. While fair wages and equal remuneration are determined by reference to the work performed by an individual worker, as well as in comparison with other workers, remuneration that provides a decent living must be determined by reference to outside factors such as the cost of living and other prevailing economic and social conditions. Thus, remuneration must be sufficient to enable the worker and his or her family to enjoy other rights in the Covenant, such as social security, health care, education and an adequate standard of living, including food, water and sanitation, housing, clothing and additional expenses such as commuting costs.
