The evolving theory of occupational justice links the concept to social justice
and to concerns for a justice of difference: a justice that recognizes
occupational rights to inclusive participation in everyday occupations for all
persons in society, regardless of age, ability, gender, social class, or other
differences. The purpose of this descriptive paper is to inspire and empower
health professionals to build a theoretical bridge to practice with an
occupational justice lens. Using illustrations from a study of leisure and the
use of everyday technology in the lives of very old people in Northern Sweden,
the authors argue that an occupational justice lens may inspire and empower
health professionals to engage in critical dialogue on occupational justice; use
global thinking about occupation, health, justice, and the environment; and
combine population and individualized approaches. The authors propose that taking
these initiatives to bridge theory and practice will energize health
professionals to enable inclusive participation in everyday occupations in diverse contexts.
