It is argued that right to employment is a fundamental right and, if a State fails to engage its educated and productive manpower in some worthwhile income generating mode, it may be deemed as a case of violation of human rights.

• Argue for and against this view.

The argument that right to employment is a fundamental right is well founded because the educated are the ones who keep the nation growing. So their employment is the responsibility of the State. However, opinions differ when we take it as a violation of rights if the state fails in it.

Generally, it is people who constitute a state. It is their well being that makes a state a welfare state. So the State has the responsibility to put all the educated in a productive area of employment so that the latter may be able to fulfill the expectations of the former. On the other hand, if they jobless for long, it is a kind of human resource loss. This amounts to loss of human rights itself because it is people how constitute the state. So the argument is well founded.

On the other hand, failing to meet the employment needs of all the educated cannot be deemed as a violation. This is because, finding employment for all depends more on the attitude of the employable workforce than on the state’s responsibility. Much lies with the educated themselves to find venues out of their own efforts. As every right comes with a duty, every educated person is bound to show the duty vested on him or her. If they both go hand in hand, there is no violation of human rights; rather there is protection of it.

Therefore, it may be concluded that, deeming employment guarantee as a fundamental right is possible only if the educated show the duty to do their share. This may enable the State to safeguard the rights of the educated.
