Social Justice Dynamics in the Implementation of the Job Creation Law in the Globalization Era of Form Globalization

Abstract

This study analyzes the effectiveness of the implementation of Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning Job Creation in ensuring workers’ rights and social welfare amid the demands of global labor market flexibility. The method used is normative juridical, by examining the provisions of labor law, principles of social justice, and academic literature related to labor policy in Indonesia. The results of the study show that although the Job Creation Law is able to improve economic efficiency and strengthen the investment climate, its implementation still faces major challenges in terms of legal protection for workers, especially in the informal sector and the digital economy. In addition, the bargaining position of trade unions is weakening due to the flexible work system that tends to be individualistic. This research emphasizes that national labor policies need to be readjusted to be able to balance economic interests and social justice. It is necessary to strengthen derivative regulations, increase supervisory capacity, and integrate social protection for all types of workers in order to realize a sustainable and fair labor system in the era of globalization
