Socioeconomic rights include rights with regard to social security,
labour and employment, as well as cultural rights which may be
regarded as a shield for the protection of human dignity,
especially of specific groups, such as women, children and
refugees. The enforceability of socioeconomic rights clearly
distinguishes them from other rights. These rights need, perhaps
more than others, the support of civil society. Because states have
leeway in how resources are distributed, civil society has a major
impact on what resources are used to fulfil socio-economic rights.
One of the actors in the public arena are religious traditions,
respective Churches. Most of them have developed ethical standards
for individual conduct and rules for living together in society
based on their basic scriptures. All three monotheistic religions,
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are marked by a caring engagement
for the poor, the sick, the old and the foreign. From an empirical
perspective, the general research question of this volume is how
young people understand and evaluate socioeconomic rights and to
which degree religious convictions and practices are connected with
attitudes towards these human rights. Can religion be identified as
a force supporting the human rights regime and which additional
concepts strengthen or weaken the consent to these rights? The
richness of empirical data contributes to a better understanding
how socioeconomic rights are legitimated in the opinion of more
than 10.000 respondents in 14 countries.
