 | Economic, social and cultural rights for all Billions of women, men and children face levels of deprivation that undermine the right to live with dignity. Hunger, homelessness and preventable disease are not inevitable social problems or simply the result of natural disasters they are a human rights scandal. Even in rich countries, there are people who do not have access to education, health care and housing. Governments often blame a lack of resources, but, in fact, many people face systematic discrimination, while those on the margins of society are often overlooked altogether. The international community has stood by while individual governments have ignored the human rights of millions of people. International financial institutions have imposed conditions on countries that have led to reduced access to education and health care for people living in poverty. Elsewhere, those large-scale development projects devoid of any regard for human rights have resulted in widespread homelessness. In many countries, governments do not regulate corporations to ensure that they meet their human rights responsibilities. They allow pollution of the environment and extreme exploitation to continue unchecked. Violations of economic, social and cultural rights are not a matter of inadequate resources; they are a matter of justice. All human rights are inter-linked and the denial of one leads to denial of others where there is no freedom of expression, for example, there is no right to education. People's action around the world has lead to great gains in making economic, social and cultural rights a reality, but much more needs to be done so that everyone has the right to live in dignity. |
 | Making the Social Contract Citizen-Based-Len Nichols Segment One of the most glaring shortcomings of the current social contract is the link between health care and employment status. Creating a citizen-based social contract will require remaking our health care system so it becomes sustainable and accessible, one where health care benefits are portable and tied to the individual, rather than to his or her place of employment. Such a system can be built upon the essential pillars of personal responsibility and shared responsibility. Mandates to buy insurance and subsidies to help people afford to do so will be balanced with the creation of an insurance marketplace that is affordable and a delivery system that works in terms of both cost and quality. The Next Social Contract Initiative aims to reinvent American social policy for the twenty-first century. Through a program of research and public education, the initiative will explore the origins of our modern social contract, articulate the guiding principles for constructing a new contract, and advance a set of promising policy reforms. |
