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.

Abstract

Social justice in public service delivery has become a critical issue, particularly in addressing inequalities faced by vulnerable groups in accessing essential services. This study aims to evaluate how access and inclusion influence the realization of social justice in public services. A mixed-method explanatory approach was employed, combining quantitative data from structured questionnaires and qualitative insights from in-depth interviews involving vulnerable populations. The quantitative data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS), while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis to identify key barriers and inclusion strategies. The findings indicate that access to public services significantly influences inclusion, and inclusion plays a crucial role in achieving social justice outcomes. Administrative barriers were found to negatively affect both access and inclusion, highlighting the importance of institutional reforms. The results also reveal that inclusion mediates the relationship between access and social justice, emphasizing that equitable outcomes depend not only on availability but also on fair treatment and participation. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that achieving social justice in public services requires an integrated approach that combines improved access with inclusive practices. Policymakers must prioritize user-centered service design and equity-oriented strategies to ensure that vulnerable groups are not left behind.

Abstract

Digital transformation in public services has significantly improved efficiency and accessibility; however, it has also created new forms of inequality, particularly among communities with limited digital access and skills. This study aims to examine how community technology literacy mediates the relationship between digital transformation and digital empowerment in reducing access inequality. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed, with data collected through structured questionnaires distributed to citizens using digital public services. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) to assess both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The findings reveal that digital transformation has a significant positive effect on community technology literacy, which in turn strongly influences digital empowerment. Both community technology literacy and digital empowerment were found to significantly reduce access inequality in public services. Furthermore, the mediation analysis confirms that community technology literacy serves as a key mechanism linking digital transformation to digital empowerment outcomes. These results highlight the importance of integrating technological development with community-based digital literacy initiatives. In conclusion, this study emphasizes that digital empowerment cannot be achieved solely through technological advancement but requires strengthening community capabilities. Therefore, inclusive digital policies that prioritize literacy development are essential to ensure equitable access to public services.

Abstract

The decline of public trust in government institutions has emerged as a critical issue affecting the effectiveness of public service delivery. This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to the trust crisis and examine their implications for public services, focusing on institutional performance, service quality, and transparency. A mixed-method explanatory approach was employed, combining quantitative data from structured questionnaires and qualitative insights from in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) for quantitative analysis and thematic analysis for qualitative interpretation. The results indicate that institutional performance has a significant direct and indirect effect on public trust, with service quality and transparency acting as important mediating variables. Service quality and transparency also have strong positive effects on trust, highlighting the importance of responsive services and open governance. The findings reveal that poor service delivery and lack of transparency are key drivers of declining trust, while improvements in these areas can enhance public confidence. In conclusion, restoring public trust requires an integrated approach that strengthens institutional performance, improves service quality, and enhances transparency. These efforts are essential to ensure effective, accountable, and citizen-centered public service delivery.

Abstract

Economic uncertainty has become a persistent challenge affecting communities, institutions, and households across various contexts. In response, social capital—comprising networks, trust, and shared norms—has emerged as a critical resource for enhancing resilience and supporting adaptive economic strategies. This study aims to analyze the role of social capital in addressing economic uncertainty by examining its forms, functions, and contributions to coping mechanisms and community resilience. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design, utilizing a library research method. Data were collected through document analysis of scholarly articles and analyzed using an interactive model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion verification, supported by thematic coding and triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that social capital operates across multiple levels, including communal networks, trust-based relationships, business collaborations, and household interactions. These forms of social capital facilitate risk-sharing, resource access, flexibility, and innovation, thereby strengthening economic resilience. The discussion highlights that social capital functions as both a coping mechanism and a strategic asset, enabling communities to adapt to economic disruptions more effectively. In conclusion, social capital plays a vital role in mitigating economic uncertainty, but its effectiveness depends on the integration of local practices, institutional support, and adaptive capacity to sustain long-term resilience.
