working, you can find yourself without healthcare".
 In this regard, the task of institutions such as INPS is to contribute to
ensuring that the funds are not lacking for the subsistence of unemployed
workers and their families. "Special attention for female work should not be
missing from your priorities; nor should maternity assistance, which should
always allow for the protection of a new life and those who serve this on a
daily basis. There should be no lack of insurance for old age, sickness, and
work-related accidents. The right to a pension must not be neglected, and I
underline, the right, as this is what it is".
 "In the final analysis, working means prolonging God's work in history,
contributing in a personal, useful and creative way. Supporting employment, you
support this work too. Furthermore, by guaranteeing dignified income to those
who have to leave work, you affirm the most profound reality: work must not be
another cog in the perverse mechanisms that grinds resources to obtain ever
greater profits; it cannot therefore be prolonged or reduced in relation to the
earnings of the few or of forms of production that sacrifice values,
relationships and principles. This applies to the economy in general ... and
also
to all the social institution whose subject and aim is and must be the human
person".
 "Do not forget the person: this is imperative", he concluded. "Love and serve
the person with awareness, responsibility and willingness. Work for those who
work, and not least for those would like to but cannot. Do this not as a work
of
solidarity but as a duty of justice and subsidiarity. Support the weakest, so
that no-one lacks the dignity and freedom to live an authentically human life".
