Economic justice examines the benefits and burdens of economic exchange, policy, and action and the consequences of economic systems and decisions on people’s lives. It considers equity, rights-based approaches, and social justice to evaluate the equitable distribution of resources and opportunities in a society, as well as its various intersecting issues such as unequal pay, gendered labor, access to land and resources, environmental sustainability, and data-driven decision making. Economic justice requires a shift from a neoliberal stance that focuses on the free market, to a broader view that emphasizes both private and public spheres and their effects on marginalized populations for a more equitable economy.
