This session explores sociological approaches to economic and social rights. It aims to capture current research on how welfare states, post-socialist states, and development states either actualize or fail to actualize economic and social rights, including the rights to publicly funded healthcare, publicly funded education, parental leave, social security benefits, and disability insurance. In addition, the session will examine social movement and NGO contributions to contemporary thinking and policymaking on economic and social rights.
