<p>Data governance still focuses almost entirely on protection
from harm, and on negative rights. With data being the most
valuable resource in present times, we also need to develop
conceptions on positive rights to the value of data, for data
subjects, but also for data workers. For both these categories,
individual as well collective economic data rights are needed.
This Primer attempts some initial work in this direction,
offering a four part rights based framework for data and
economic justice. <br>

face="Arial, sans-serif">Economic justice is about ensuring
the maternal conditions that enable or are the basis of other
kinds of justices. In a digital society, data and digital
intelligence are the key resources, and therefore economic
justice has to focus on how these resources and their control
are distributed. Based on some existing work, this primer
proposes four rights regarding data that can form the bedrock
of data related economic justice; (1) right to benefit from
one’s data, and avoid harm; (2) right to access and port one’s
data; (3) right to appropriate representation in data; and (4)
right to govern data and data based systems. These rights
would be both individual and collective, depending on the
nature of data. Practical steps for ensuring data related
economic justice will center on digital platforms, which are
the sites of most digital economic injustice – be it in
relation to users/consumers; or economic actors like traders,
farmers, SMEs, small service providers and workers; or across
countries. The counter institution that can address these
injustices and distribute data power more evenly is data
infrastructures. Indeed, a number of legal/policy and
programmatic initiatives already exist, mostly in the EU and
India, that seek to employ the institution of data
infrastructures to redistribute data power, and thus ensure
economic justice. What is needed is to bring theoretical work
on data justice closer to the ongoing economic legal/policy
efforts, which in default have largely been patchy and
inconsistent, and therefore unlikely to be effective. In the
last section, the primer lays out a few areas for future
theoretical research and evolution of data governance for
economic justice.</font></p>
