Abstract

Analysing legal theory is an essential starting point for any project relating to the legal system (Burge-Hendrix 2012). Bacharach (1989) believes that “theory is a statement of relations among concepts within a set of boundary assumptions and constraints, and a linguistic device to organize a complex empirical world.” This chapter focuses on existing theories on human rights that are related to job security and temporary contracts. The right to life, social justice and equality in the life of a worker, social security, the right to work, and theory of decent work are very much related to each other. Discourse on job security theories in this chapter is as presented in the classical and neo classical eras.
