Abstract

Background of study: The phenomenon of mass layoffs in 2025 presents a serious challenge to Indonesia’s labor force, affecting household economic stability and increasing social risks. As a response, the government implemented the Job Loss Guarantee Program (JKP) as part of a broader social protection strategy to safeguard workers' welfare. Aims and scope of paper: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the JKP program in mitigating the impact of mass layoffs, with a focus on benefit distribution, access to employment information, job training quality, and public satisfaction. Methods: The study applied a qualitative approach through literature and documentation analysis, using thematic content analysis of secondary data obtained from government reports, national media coverage, and social media discourse. Data were analyzed descriptively to explore recurring themes in public narratives and policy implementation. Result: Findings reveal that while the JKP program has effectively provided short-term financial support and improved access to labor market information, it is hindered by complex administrative procedures, uneven benefit distribution, and job training programs that are often misaligned with current labor market needs. Informal workers remain excluded from program coverage. Conclusion: To enhance the effectiveness of the JKP program, comprehensive administrative reforms, improved competency-based training, and inclusive strategies for informal workers are necessary. This study contributes to policy evaluation discourse by highlighting implementation gaps in Indonesia’s labor protection system amid economic shocks.

Abstract

Background of study: Workers’ awareness of their rights and obligations within Indonesia’s employment social security system remains relatively low, particularly among informal workers. Although BPJS Ketenagakerjaan provides comprehensive protection against occupational risks, many workers still lack a clear understanding of program benefits and participation requirements, limiting the effectiveness of national social protection efforts. Aims and scope of paper: This paper examines the role of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan in improving workers’ awareness of their rights and obligations as participants in employment-based social security. The study explores existing outreach strategies, levels of worker literacy, barriers to participation, and the implications for overall social protection. Methods: A qualitative literature review method was employed by synthesizing secondary data from academic articles, government regulations, and BPJS Ketenagakerjaan reports published within the last ten years. The analysis identifies recurring issues related to worker knowledge, program implementation, and institutional challenges. Result: The findings show that BPJS Ketenagakerjaan plays an important role in disseminating information, expanding membership, and improving service accessibility. However, workers’ understanding of program benefits remains limited, participation in the informal sector is relatively low, and employer compliance is often inconsistent. Existing socialization efforts have not fully closed the awareness gap, especially among vulnerable worker groups. Conclusion: The study concludes that improving workers’ awareness requires more targeted and continuous education programs, stronger employer enforcement, and broader collaboration among government institutions. Enhancing literacy and participation is essential to achieving more comprehensive and equitable labor protection in Indonesia.
