  Abstract

Assessing government compliance with economic and social rights obligations presents a number of complex challenges. New approaches are needed for this purpose – building on available social science methods. Development of these approaches should take into account questions of the affordability of these rights when assessing government compliance.

Keywords: affordability, compliance, costing, economic and social rights, methods, social science
