<![CDATA[This study explains how Indonesia's Job Creation Law implements an asymmetric neoliberal expansion model across various industrial sectors and analyzes the structural corrections introduced by the new constitution. Using a qualitative socio-legal approach, the research combines textual and implementation analyses of Constitutional Court Decision No. 168/PUU-XXI/2023 with sectoral political economy data. Moving away from conventional critiques of labor deregulation, the findings suggest that neoliberal expansion operates as a form of segmented regulatory engineering, such as legalizing structural labor vulnerabilities in the manufacturing sector, excluding local labor through easing foreign worker (TKA) permits in capital-intensive industries, and exploiting deliberate legal gaps in the gig economy. Crucially, the study demonstrates that Constitutional Court Decision No. 168/PUU-XXI/2023 structurally arrested this destructive trajectory by invalidating 21 pivotal provisions. This paper contributes a novel analytical synthesis that integrates positive law with sectoral dynamics under the latest judicial framework.]]>
