Abstract

Obtaining the right to work is one of the constitutional rights for every citizen, this has been guaranteed in the 1945 Constitution and other legal regulations. Every human being has the right to a decent living that can be obtained, one of which is through work or getting decent work. From the perspective of Constitutional Law, the fulfillment of this right is a constitutional obligation of the state, specifically the obligation for the government to create conditions that enable every citizen to obtain and get work to realize a decent life and livelihood. This study aims to analyze the extent of the government's role and responsibility in fulfilling this right, this is a manifestation of the welfare state principle that has been adopted in this country, namely Indonesia. This study uses a juridical-normative approach by analyzing laws and regulations conceptually in the field of employment. This study found that the implementation of employment rights has not been optimally implemented. Although normative guarantees are essentially stipulated in various legal regulations, the right to employment or access to employment still faces various obstacles, such as structural challenges in policymaking that do not fully support social justice for Indonesian citizens, weak legal implementation resulting in weak policy planning, and the lack of comprehensive access to broad and productive employment opportunities for job seekers, among other issues. Therefore, concrete action is needed by the government to address these issues as a manifestation of social justice for all Indonesians and the fulfillment of human rights.
