Abstract

Platform workers who work through digital applications such as online transportation and delivery services are growing in Indonesia, but their legal status is still unclear. The incompatibility between the platform's work model and conventional labor regulations results in platform workers not receiving legal protection, social security, or recognition of formal employment relationships. This article examines these problems using normative legal research methods and comparative approaches by comparing the Indonesian legal system with Singapore's policies through the Platform Workers Act 2024. The legal materials include laws and regulations, jurisprudence, and related literature. The study results show that Indonesia still relies on inadequate partial regulation to address the protection needs of platform workers. At the same time, Singapore has taken a progressive step by recognizing the status of platform workers as a separate legal entity with fundamental rights, such as social security, the right to form associations, protection against work injuries, and income transparency. The novel finding of this study lies in identifying the hybrid employment model as a feasible and legally sound framework to bridge the gap between full-time employment and independent contracting in Indonesia. This model not only aligns with Singapore’s adaptive regulatory approach but also offers a policy blueprint for equitable protection without undermining digital innovation. The broader implication is clear: without a comprehensive legal reform that institutionalizes hybrid employment, Indonesia risks entrenching a two-tier labor system that perpetuates inequality within its rapidly expanding digital economy.

Abstract

This article analyses the existence of normative support for women workers with family responsibilities in Indonesian labour law. The social structure of Indonesian society still views the function of family care as the responsibility of women. Therefore, working women are burdened with dual functions as workers and holders of care responsibilities. Both functions can lead to discrimination in the workplace for women workers. Normative support to protect these female workers is critical to note. The analysis was carried out by examining the regulations in the Manpower Act and the 2023 Job Creation Act. The analysis results show that the Acts contain several articles that provide normative support for women workers with family responsibilities, although they are not yet comprehensive and firm. First, this support is reflected in the regulations that require employers to consider the needs of workers and their families, both in employment relationships and in social security. Second, some provisions prohibit layoffs based on family responsibilities. In addition to these explicit regulations, several provisions can be implicitly interpreted as normative support for women workers with family responsibilities"”first, special regulations on reproductive health protection. Second, provisions mention the involvement of family or heirs in employment rights. Third, the recognition of significant events involving workers"™ families. However, existing regulations are still inadequate in providing comprehensive normative support for women workers with family responsibilities. Indonesia should immediately ratify the International Labour Organization Convention Number 156 to strengthen such protection.
