Does the constitution explicitly guarantee the right to limited working hours?

No specific provision means that the constitution does not specifically guarantee the right to limited working hours. This does not mean that the right is denied, only that it is not granted.

Aspirational or guaranteed only to certain groups means that the right to limited working hours is either granted in non-authoritative language – the country “endeavors” to provide this right, or it is the “responsibility” of the government to provide it – or granted only to a specific group – for example, only to women.

Guaranteed universally means that the right to limited working hours is explicitly guaranteed to all.
