==Context==

It had become customary for [[Pope|popespope]]s to publish new writings on social issues at ten-year intervals since ''Rerum novarum'', in order to keep the teachings relevant to the current times. ''Laborem exercens'' was written in honor of the 90th anniversary, and makes reference to ''Rerum novarum'' and to several of the subsequent writings.

The pope was not able to issue the document on the May 15 anniversary because of the [[Pope John Paul II assassination attempt|assassination attempt]] two days earlier.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/may/13/newsid_2512000/2512533.stm "1981: Thousands see Pope shot in Rome."] ''BBC News: On This Day''.
