Obligation to work - Kinro no Gimu

Japanese: 勤労の義務 - きんろうのぎむ

The obligations of citizens are stated in Article 27 of the Constitution of Japan. The Constitution stipulates that "All people shall have the right and the obligation to work." This is one of the basic constitutional obligations, along with the obligation to receive an education and the obligation to pay taxes. However, this does not mandate forced labor, and is generally interpreted as merely an ethical provision that clarifies the dignity of labor.

Japanese:

日本国憲法 27条にうたわれている国民の義務。憲法には「すべて国民は，勤労の権利を有し，義務を負ふ」と規定されている。教育の義務，納税の義務と並ぶ憲法上の基本的義務の一つであるが，これは決して強制労働を義務づけるものではなく，一般には労働の尊厳性を明らかにした倫理的な規定にすぎないと解されている。
