economic justice
Wealth equality movement
Economic justice is the principle that economic systems should distribute resources, opportunities, and burdens fairly across society.
The concept encompasses issues like living wages, equal pay, access to education and healthcare, and progressive taxation.
What counts as economically just varies by political philosophy—some emphasize equality of outcomes, others equality of opportunity.
The protesters demanded economic justice for low-wage workers.
