Abstract: What do Germans understand by social justice and how do they prioritise different principles of justice? A recent population survey shows that regulatory justice and equal opportunities are seen as the most important dimensions, while distributive justice is considered the least important by Germans. The international justice index of the Stiftung Familienunternehmen shows that Germany performs relatively well in terms of needs-based and intergenerational justice. However, there is a need for action in the areas of fair opportunities and fair rules, as these dimensions are most important to the population and Germany scores only mediocrely here compared to other dimensions. In order to fully utilise the potential for improvement, both a more efficient regulatory system through an effective reduction in bureaucracy and investment in the education system are necessary.
