Abstract

Like many places in Africa, youth unemployment in Nigeria is massive. Granted, some scholars have deliberated on the role of the Church in Nigeria in tackling it; their preoccupation, however, has been majorly with the Church in Nigeria as a whole, rather than with individual churches. Employing historical and descriptive phenomenological methodology, this article, on the contrary, considers the role of the Roman Catholic Church in South-East Nigeria, in the fight against the same issue, of youth unemployment. The article, among others, makes a case for a much more participation of faith-based organizations in confronting the many social problems facing the youths in contemporary Africa.

罗马天主教会与尼日利亚东南部青年失业

与非洲许多地方一样，尼日利亚的青年失业率很高。诚然，一些学者已经讨论了尼日利亚教会在解决这一问题方面的作用；然而，他们主要关注的是整个尼日利亚的教会，而不是个别教会。相反，本文采用历史和描述性现象学方法，考虑了尼日利亚东南部罗马天主教会在解决青年失业这一问题中的作用。除其他外，这篇文章提出了让信仰组织更多地参与应对当代非洲青年面临的许多社会问题的理由。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Youth and Theology is an international peer-reviewed academic journal developed and originally published by the IASYM, the International Association for the Study of Youth Ministry, now published by Brill. The journal aims at furthering the academic study and research of youth and youth ministry, and the formal teaching and training of youth ministry. The academic efforts are rooted in the Christian theological tradition and ecumenical. The scope of the journal is to serve scholarship in the broad field of children, youth, faith, church, theology and culture. Research articles in the journal mainly have theology (both practical, systematic and biblical theology) as a core discipline. At the same time, contributions are often interdisciplinary, which implies theological reflection combined with e.g. pedagogical, sociological or psychological perspectives.
