Özet:

As the supervisory body of the European Convention on Human Rights, which governs civil and political rights, the European Court of Human Rights has adopted the established idea that human rights are inseparable and accordingly, conducts the supervision of economic and social rights, at an increasing frequency, within the framework of the rights governed in the ECHR. Being among such rights, the right to work constitutes a significant part of the ECtHR judgments concerning article 8 of the ECHR on the right to respect for private life. The objective of this paper is to overview the assessments of the ECtHR on the right to work and analyze how these assessments are reflected to the individual application decisions of the Turkish Constitutional Court. In this respect, firstly the “right to work” definition considered by the ECtHR is established, which is followed by the assessment of the manner the right to work is connected to the ECHR. In the final part of the paper, the right to work assessments of the Turkish Constitutional Court are analyzed and it is concluded that the case-law of the Turkish Constitutional Court on the right to work is yet to be established
