Needs justice
The term responsiveness (also need justice or English needs-based justice ) denotes a position to distributive justice , according to which the distribution of goods or income within a society is considered fair if the requirements in accordance with the respective members of society.
Some advocates of the idea of needs- based justice do not see this as fulfilled in systems organized in a market economy and therefore demand a state redistribution of income. Critics object that this affects the performance incentive and that needs are individually different and therefore cannot be determined objectively.
In order to determine how fair a distribution is with regard to its needs-based justice, measures of needs-based justice are discussed, which enable an assessment of distribution situations in this regard.
The principle of needs-based justice plays a role in the discussion about a fair price as well as minimum wages and minimum requirements .
