However, their understanding of labor rights and social security remains limited. This study aims to analyze young workers’ perceptions of the benefits of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan as a social protection instrument. A quantitative descriptive approach is used by utilizing secondary data from surveys as well as additional data. The findings reveal that workers’ comprehension of social security, labor regulations, and legal protection mechanisms is still low, influenced by education level, work experience, and interaction with digital platforms.
