Abstract

Medan City is facing a serious environmental crisis due to a nearly 50-meter-high pile of waste at the Terjun Final Disposal Site (TPA Terjun), which is managed using an open dumping system. This condition indicates a failure in local government governance to fulfill waste management obligations as stipulated in Law Number 18 of 2008 concerning Waste Management and Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management. This failure has resulted in violations of the public’s right to a healthy environment as guaranteed by the 1945 Constitution. Negative impacts such as groundwater contamination, air pollution, and health risks threatening the surrounding residents constitute environmental injustice. Local governments may face administrative sanctions and lawsuits for compensation and have an obligation to carry out environmental restoration. Addressing this crisis requires active roles from the Medan City Government, central and provincial governments, the public to realize effective, sustainable, and environmentally friendly waste management

Abstract

Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) are primarily motivated to work abroad by the prospect of higher wages to achieve long-term financial security, despite the social costs of family separation. However, empirical evidence from observations, interviews, and questionnaires reveals that many PMIs have limited understanding of the old-age pension scheme, a key component of the national social security system, a gap exacerbated by inadequate pre-departure briefings for prospective migrant workers (CPMI) despite clear legal obligations. This study employs an empirical juridical method supported by a conceptual legal approach to examine the gap between the normative framework governing PMI social security protection and its implementation in practice, particularly regarding technical barriers to paying old-age security contributions during overseas employment. The findings show weak institutional coordination and accountability among key stakeholders, including the Ministry of Manpower, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, BP2MI, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and state-affiliated banking institutions. The study concludes that strengthening legal compliance, inter-agency coordination, and accessible contribution mechanisms is essential to ensure effective protection and the realization of old-age social security rights for PMIs after the completion of their employment.
