Occupational Justice Framework

The Occupational Justice Framework is a way to understand how everyone should have fair opportunities to participate in daily activities and roles that give life meaning—like working, socializing, or caring for oneself. It emphasizes that access to these activities isn't just about personal choice but is influenced by social, economic, and environmental factors. When these opportunities are limited due to inequality, discrimination, or other barriers, individuals and communities experience occupational injustice. The framework promotes creating equitable conditions so all people can actively engage in meaningful activities, supporting their health, independence, and well-being.
