Resumen
MARSAY, Gloria. Pastoral response to unemployment: Hermeneutics of hope and work. STJ [online]. 2020, vol.6, n.1, pp.457-476. ISSN 2413-9467. http://dx.doi.org/10.17570/stj.2020.v6n1.a.
Pastoral work is about assisting people to live their lives to the full. A great deal of scholarship has accumulated around the employment challenges precipitated by a variety of socio-political and economic factors. The all-encompassing challenge with which we are presented is to create and sustain a community of care, promoting hope, personal agency and self-determination to earn a living, in a life-giving environment This paper rests on the concept of "Hope in Action" as the mission of the church and examines the hermeneutics of hope and work, as mandatory for a meaningful life. The paper suggests a structure for an intervention that could be useful for those who work with young people to awaken hope, as a unique foundation, and make plans to find work so that they can earn a sustainable livelihood and live life to the full.
