Abstract

Outsourcing arrangements place workers inside a triangular relationship. That relationship connects a principal company, an outsourcing agency, and the worker herself. Female workers with disabilities face a compounded disadvantage inside this structure. Their gender exposes them to wage discrimination. Their disability exposes them to exclusion from workplace accommodation. Indonesian labor law addresses gender, disability, and outsourcing status through three separate legal instruments. No prior study examines how these three conditions interact for a single worker. This research aims to reconstruct Indonesian labor law so that it treats this compounded condition as one distinct legal category. The research applies normative legal methods. It combines a statute approach with a conceptual approach. The statute approach examines Indonesian legislation, government regulations, and court decisions. The conceptual approach draws on intersectionality theory and the social model of disability. The results show that Indonesian law regulates disability, gender, and outsourcing status through three parallel tracks. These tracks never intersect. This separation produces a protection gap for disabled women placed through outsourcing agencies. The research proposes a reconstructed legal standard built on four components. These components are joint liability between the principal company and the outsourcing agency, a unified complaint procedure, grounding in international human rights instruments, and a statutory redefinition of employer status. This reconstruction gives Indonesian lawmakers a concrete pathway toward closing a protection gap that current law leaves invisible
