Which principle of justice, as proposed by Amartya Sen, focuses on the need to remove various social and economic disparities?

Correct option is C

• The Capability Approach, developed by Amartya Sen, focuses on enhancing individuals' ability to achieve lives they value. It goes beyond just equal resource distribution and emphasizes creating conditions where people have the freedom and opportunities to pursue their well-being. The approach is concerned with what individuals can do and be, rather than merely ensuring equality in resources.

• The Human Development Index (HDI), developed by the UN, is influenced by Sen’s approach, measuring well-being through health, education, and income.

• Equality of resources: This focuses on equal distribution of material goods or resources, but it doesn’t account for differences in people’s needs or abilities to convert resources into well-being.
• Equality of opportunity: This principle advocates for ensuring that all individuals have an equal starting point, especially in terms of education and job opportunities, but doesn’t necessarily address broader social and economic disparities.
• Distributive justice: This deals with how goods, wealth, and resources should be distributed in a society. While related, it's a broader concept that doesn't specifically emphasize human capabilities in the way the Capability Approach does.
