Hey everyone,
Young people’s rights are human rights and in a nutshell Human rights are those rights that are an individual is born with as well as entitled to and are meant to be protected by the government of the day through a constitution. These rights include right to life, to association, to express oneself free, to good health, clean and safe drinking water, an education, health, shelter, to vote and employment among the few.
Decent work is that work an individual does that does not humiliate or degrade the person in question. It can comprise of favourable conditions like clean and safe environment, respect and the person able to receive a salary for the work done.
