ABSTRACT

This article explores the meaning of work and labor from a feminist theological perspective. In addition, it articulates the relevance of basic income in improving the evaluation of work and promoting equality. In this neo-liberal economic system of our contemporary world, human beings become unstable in an undesirable labor system, resulting in a decrease in labor productivity. Moreover, the distribution of output through labor is biased, intensifying the disparity between the rich and poor and accelerating inequality. The introduction of this basic income cannot solve social inequality at once; however, such an experimental approach to feminist economics can make us examine and evaluate our labor as a whole, reconstruct the value and meaning of labor, satisfy the need for recognition as well as the definition of distribution, and contribute to restoring the essential meaning of work and labor.
