<![CDATA[Child Labor in the Digital Era: A Study of Children Working as Content Creators in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the legal status and forms of legal protection for children working as content creators in the digital era in Indonesia. The increasing involvement of children in digital content production activities that generate economic value has created new legal issues, particularly regarding their classification as child workers and the potential for exploitation. This research uses a normative legal method with statutory and conceptual approaches through the analysis of national regulations and relevant international legal instruments. The results show that children’s activities as content creators substantively fulfill the elements of employment because they are structured, repetitive, and generate economic benefits. However, Indonesian positive law has not specifically recognized or regulated this type of work, resulting in a legal vacuum. Legal protection for child content creators requires limitations on work activities, proper income management, privacy protection, and the strengthening of the roles of the state, parents, and digital platforms. The study concludes that adaptive legal reform is urgently needed to provide legal certainty and optimal protection for children in the digital era.]]>
