Economic rights is not a widely recognized concept. If it were, the rich countries would not have the immigration policies they have today. So you definitely cannot make it a career, unless you have some financial backers with deep pockets and strong commitment to the idea.

There are two sets of human rights. 1. Political 2. Economic & Social. While political rights define rules against arbitrary arrests, equality and freedome of opinion & expression, economic rights broadly come in the area of social welfare.
To be a Human Rights lawyer you need courage and determination.
You will have to fight cases before your apex court and then the court of human rights at Strasbourg.
If you are a well meaning guy who wants to do good to the society by all means choose this career.
I followed this path but could not sustain as the clients you get are mostly always paupers.

I think this is a topic more related to the Law career. The laws, as a consequences of political fights, establishes some right for the citizen of a country, for example:
The rigth to have goods and properties.
The rigth to work if it want to.
The rigth to study.
The rigth to use your money like you want.
The rigth to go to a Court if you think an economic agent is causing an economic damage to you.
This group of laws and rigth are seen by the economist like part of the institutions.
