THE ESSENCE OF SOCIAL SECURITY PROTECTION FOR WORKERS OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIPS AS A FULFILLMENT OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS FOR VULNERABLE WORKERS
The provision of Employment Social Security for workers outside formal employment relationships represents a tangible manifestation of the state’s commitment to fulfilling the fundamental rights of its citizens, particularly for vulnerable workers. This group, comprising self-employed individuals without employers or regular wages, often faces precarious working conditions with high socio-economic risks and no protective guarantees. This article examines the essence of Jamsostek protection as a form of social justice and state responsibility, as mandated by Article 28H Paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The state is obligated to deliver inclusive protection programs for these vulnerable workers, whereas for workers with employers, the responsibility lies with the employers to enroll their employees in Jamsostek programs and pay the required premiums. The study concludes that social protection for vulnerable workers is a manifestation of social justice and a state obligation to safeguard the fundamental rights of all citizens, especially those in the informal sector without employers.
