Abstract

The rapid expansion of the digital economy has transformed production systems, labor markets, consumption patterns, and public service delivery. While digitalization is frequently promoted as a driver of inclusion and economic growth, emerging evidence suggests that it also reproduces and restructures social inequality. This study aims to analyze how digital economy transformation generates new forms of stratification from a development sociology perspective and to assess its implications for sustainable and socially just development. The research employs a qualitative design based on a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed studies published between 2021 and 2025. Data were collected through document analysis and examined using thematic analysis and critical interpretative synthesis to identify structural mechanisms linking digital transformation and inequality. The findings indicate that digitalization initially intensifies income polarization due to pro-skill technological bias, regional innovation agglomeration, and concentrated platform ownership. The multidimensional digital divide covering access, capabilities, usage patterns, and governance emerges as a new layer of social stratification. However, under inclusive institutional frameworks, digital finance, entrepreneurship, and adaptive policies can mitigate inequality. The study concludes that achieving sustainable development in the digital era requires a shift from digital equality toward digital justice through redistributive governance and institutional strengthening

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between social structure, power distribution, and justice in the context of structural inequality in Indonesia. Structural inequality persists across various sectors, including natural resource governance, law enforcement, and access to education, indicating that injustice is embedded within institutional arrangements rather than arising solely from individual factors. This research aims to critically analyze how social structures distribute power and reproduce inequality, and to assess their implications for substantive social justice. The study employs a qualitative design using a critical socio-legal and political economy approach. Data were collected through document analysis, in-depth interviews, and cross-case comparison across selected contexts, including mining governance, environmental enforcement, and education access. The data were analyzed using thematic coding and interpretative analysis to identify recurring structural patterns of inequality. The findings reveal that centralized authority, capital dominance, and unequal institutional access systematically marginalize vulnerable groups. Inequality manifests in asymmetrical law enforcement, exclusion from decision-making processes, and uneven resource distribution. The discussion highlights that justice cannot be understood merely in procedural terms but must address substantive redistribution and structural reform. In conclusion, structural inequality is sustained by entrenched power configurations, and achieving social justice requires institutional transformation and equitable redistribution of power and resources.

Abstract

The low participation of informal sector workers or Non-Wage Recipients (BPU) in employment social security is a national challenge, primarily due to a lack of awareness and cost perception barriers. This study aims to describe BPJS Employment's communication strategy in acquiring BPU participants through a comprehensive review of previous literature. The method used is qualitative with a library research approach. Data collection was carried out by reviewing scientific journals, books, and performance reports for the 2020–2025 period. The review results showed that the most effective communication strategy is the personal selling approach through Perisai Agents who apply the AIDDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Decision, Action) model. Perisai Agents act as communication bridges capable of overcoming trust issues and low digital literacy among informal workers. These findings recommend the need to strengthen agents' persuasive communication capacity and integrate digital communication channels for membership sustainability.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of the platform economy has transformed labor structures and reshaped social relations within digital society. While platform-based work offers flexibility and entrepreneurial narratives, it simultaneously intensifies algorithmic control and individualization, raising concerns about the fragmentation of social solidarity. This study aims to analyze how the individualization of work in the platform economy contributes to the transformation and fragmentation of social solidarity, while also examining the emergence of new forms of digital collective identity. A qualitative sociological approach was employed using multiple case studies of ride-hailing drivers, couriers, and food delivery workers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, digital ethnography of online worker communities, and document analysis of platform policies. The findings reveal that algorithmic governance, performance ratings, and the “partner” ideology weaken collective labor identity and foster competition and isolation. However, workers simultaneously construct digital communities through social media and messaging platforms, enabling episodic and hybrid forms of solidarity. The study concludes that the platform economy produces a paradoxical dynamic: it fragments traditional social solidarity while generating new digitally mediated collective formations. Social cohesion in digital capitalism is therefore not eliminated but reconfigured within evolving socio-technical structures.

Abstract

This study analyzes the disparities in social protection between formal and informal workers within the BPJS Employment program in Indonesia, particularly in the context of national crises and the labor market transformation towards the gig economy. The main issues examined include inequalities in access, benefit coverage, and policy implementation effectiveness, which tend to favor the formal sector, leaving informal workers facing challenges such as fluctuating income, low social security literacy, and administrative-digital barriers. The research employs a qualitative approach with a comparative study design, reviewing recent literature and policy documents, and applying thematic analysis to explore policy dynamics, participation patterns, and implementation challenges. Preliminary findings indicate that formal workers receive more comprehensive and stable protection through automatic contribution mechanisms managed by employers, while informal workers experience significant gaps due to less adaptive policy designs, self-contribution schemes, and structural barriers. Policy reforms that are more flexible, inclusive, and responsive to the characteristics of informal workers are needed to expand coverage and strengthen the national labor social protection system.

Abstract

This study examines the challenges and innovations of BPJS Employment in providing social protection for informal sector workers in Indonesia. Informal workers face various obstacles, including low awareness of social security benefits, unstable income, limited program outreach, and difficulties accessing registration offices. The research uses a qualitative case study approach, employing primary data through interviews with informal workers and BPJS Employment officers, as well as secondary data from official documents, reports, and relevant literature. The results indicate that innovations such as flexible contribution schemes, online registration, and community-based outreach successfully increase participation among informal workers and positively impact their welfare, both financially and psychologically. These findings highlight the importance of adaptive and inclusive policy strategies that leverage digital technology and community approaches to effectively reach informal workers. This study provides recommendations for BPJS Employment and policymakers in designing more responsive social protection programs for informal sector workers in Indonesia.
