Abstract: Labor and what it creates form the very substance of common prosperity for all people. The nature of labor serves as the bedrock for establishing the social relations that underpin common prosperity for the entire populace. Moreover, the level of labor exerts a driving force on the advancement of common prosperity for all. Against this backdrop, the pursuit of common prosperity for all people inherently entails certain justice imperatives regarding labor. From a value perspective, it is essential to uphold the people-centered approach, thereby highlighting the people's status as the principal actors. In the social realm, efforts should be made to foster a sense of recognition of labor value and to accord due respect to both labor and laborers. With regard to labor relations, it is necessary to construct harmonious labor relationships and establish a just labor order. At present, the endeavor to promote common prosperity for all people confronts multiple challenges related to labor justice across various aspects, including the material foundation, distribution principles, technological empowerment, and value consensus. To address these issues, the following corresponding measures are suggested: cultivating a new generation of individuals who are well-suited to the requirements of new and high-quality productive forces, optimizing the wealth accumulation mechanism while firmly adhering to the principle of distribution according to work, redefining labor justice in the era of the digital economy, and constructing a consensus on labor value in order to transcend the influence of the capital logic.

Key words: labor justice, common prosperity for all people, Marxism, Chinese path to modernization, digital economy
