Headline The Right to Work

Caption Description Human resources are wasted and development retarded if people are unemployed or underemployed, or are crippled physically and mentally by their work. The abilities and skills of everyone - men, women and children - in rural as well as metropolitan centers, must be encouraged and developed. A principal goal of the Second UN Development Decade, which runs through 1980, is to help the millions of people who are poor, sick, hungry and illiterate earn enough money to achieve a minimum standard of living consistent with human dignity. Migrant workers present a special problem in that their pay is generally poor, they receive no work benefits, their working and housing conditions are inferior and their children's health and education suffer.
