SUMMARY
Proposition: an ethical point of view when addressing Religious Rights and Economic Development is unavoidable.Latin American perspective, outlining the main concerns in two fields:Demands for reasonable accommodation in the workplace grounded in religious freedom (religious holidays, tasks rejected on the basis of freedom of conscience in health and education, religious dress) which impact workers and employers.Demands from enterprises –either profit or non-profit- requesting exemptions (from taxes or affirmative duties) from the State in the fields of health and education. This involves the State duty to respect pluralism, democracy and neutrality.A final reflection on the aggravated responsibility of both decision makers (employers –enterprises & the State) as management leaders and opinion leaders, from an ethical and also juridical point of view.DOI: 10.7764/RLDR.1.6
