The Right to Work and Family Wage. Some Reflections on Article 10 of the Charter of the Rights of the Family from the Polish Perspective

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses Art. 10 of the Charter of the Rights of the Family, proclaimed by the Holy See in 1983, which states that remuneration for work should be sufficient for establishing and maintaining a family. The article presents different terms used to define “remuneration” as included in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, the European Social Charter of 1961 and the Revised European Social Charter of 1996, the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 1997, John Paul II’s encyclicals Laborem exercens of 1981 and Centessimus annus of 1991. It presents labour law and the dilemma whether remuneration should be a family wage or a fair remuneration. In Poland the term “family wage” is not used.
