Merit-based Distribution

Merit-Based Distribution is a principle of distributive justice that allocates goods, resources, or opportunities according to individuals' deserts, contributions, or achievements, distinguishing it from other allocation principles by its focus on morally relevant merit criteria rather than need, equality, or utility.
