Abstract

Article 39 (a) provides that the citizen, whether men or women, equally have the right to an adequate means to livelihood. Same right has been recognised under article 23(3) of UDHR which says that everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration. Under article 39 (d), Indian Constitution ensures that the state shall, particular; direct its policy towards securing that there is equal pay for equal work for not only men but also women. UDHR under article 23(2) also provides such right. Right to Health: Through article 39(e), Constitution of India guarantees that the state shall, particular, direct its policy towards securing that the health and strength of workers, men as well as women and the tender age of  children are not abused and none of them are not forced by economic necessity to enter avocations unsuited to their age or strength. Article 25(1) of UDHR also provides right to a standard of living adequate for health and well-being.
