To live a life, we, all the human beings, have to make a living and support our families so as to meet our basic needs of food, health and education as well as to thrive socially. Given its essentiality for human survival, the right to livelihood has been enshrined under the article 25 of the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UNDHR) adopted by the UN’s General Assembly on 10th December 1948 in Paris, France. The article reads: “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.” The means of securing the necessities of life can be different for different people, depending upon the knowledge and skills they have; the assets (including both the material and social resources) available to them; and the place they live in. The livelihood assets can be categorized into five groups—human/social, natural, physical, financial and political capitals.
