Distribution Justice

Distributive justice refers to the fair allocation of resources, benefits, and burdens within a society. It addresses questions about who gets what and why, including wealth, opportunities, and social services. The principle emphasizes equality, equity, and need, suggesting that resources should be distributed based on fairness—either equal shares for all, based on individual contributions, or in accordance with people's needs. Ultimately, distributive justice seeks to create a just society where everyone has a fair chance to thrive, reducing inequalities and ensuring that all individuals can access what they need for a decent quality of life.
