The Role Of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan In Improving The Welfare Of Informal Workers In Indonesia
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of BPJS in providing social security for informal sector workers in Indonesia. This study employs normative legal research methods, focusing on legal norms and regulations, particularly the BPJS Law and the 1945 Constitution. Primary legal sources such as laws and regulations, as well as secondary sources including academic literature, are collected using descriptive tracing techniques. Data analysis uses a statute approach combined with a conceptual approach to examine the legal protection and position of informal workers. The results show that the BPJS Law has normative gaps and does not clearly regulate the social security rights of informal workers who are outside formal employment relationships. This situation causes difficulties for informal workers in accessing social security benefits, which aggravates economic vulnerability, leading them to rely on informal financial sources with high-interest rates. In conclusion, the government needs to strengthen social security policies for informal workers to promote economic stability and social welfare.
