Los derechos sociales ante la vulnerabilidad. Retos y problemáticas en un marco de flexibilidad y desregulación

Abstract

The so-called post-crisis affects more than ever the conditions of possibility and emergence of social rights. In this context, paid employment has played a fundamental role as a hinge to acquire rights and be covered by them. It also implies the exclusion of rights for all those who lack of the status of formal worker. The historical trail upon which rights have been built has allowed a sort of identification between the «working subject» and the «subject of rights». Rights, however, cannot be supported or explained only from one of the factors that is most influencing access to them: employment. In this approach, the strategic centrality of social rights has to be essential to restore the fractured interdependence of rights. From this perspective, it is essential to recover a category as the «right to existence» to reestablish the lost potential, or not activated, of the rest of social rights.
