Work and social security

Do you belong to the lucky few who have a job you like, a salary you can live on and a nice boss and colleagues?

Or are you expected to stay flexible, although the systems around you are anything but just that? If you get ill, will you still get money to live a decent life?

Unemployment, bad salaries, a stressed out daily life and little freedom to choose your work is the reality for a big part of the worlds’ population. The declaration for human rights states work as a human right, as well as rest and leisure and equal pay for equal work. But even in privileged countries these rights are not self-evident.

All over our planet slavery still exists: in secret work camps, in trafficking, in private homes. Men and women do not have equal pay for equal work, even in the most gender equal countries. On the other hand, many people leave their homes and families just to get the jobs others discard.

What effect does the connection between work and social security have on individual lives? Shouldn’t everyone as a human being have social security no matter how much one has worked in the past?

How is it for you? And for your friends? Express your feelings, capture your opinions and picture your rights about work and social security.
