Description
Decent living protection, especially through a minimum level of income, is gradually being constitutionalized (see for example the Constitutions of Ireland and Greece) shaping a new form of social protection. Other legal orders, such as German, are experimenting with the effects of establishing a universal and unconditional minimum income, or Universal Basic Income. This collection seeks to present systematically the legal (allowances, tax redundancies, etc) and constitutional framework for the protection of a decent living by country, aiming to cover a broad spectrum of countries globally. At the same time, it conducts an in-depth analysis regarding the typology of the right to a decent living, its adjudication status, content, as well as ways that could be calculated (such as minimum income) in conformity with general principles, such as human dignity, equality, and proportionality.
This book is recommended for scholars of public law, and fields with neighbouring interests, such as poverty statistics. It will be helpful for a wide range of social scientists, and it will be useful for policy-makers regarding social policy.
