Abstract

Social security is extremely necessary for every citizen as stipulated in article 28 H paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution, particularly for informal workers of non-wage recipients (BPU) in small scale, because there will be no employers responsible for financially helping just in case accidents occur. Data from Social Security Agency (BPJS) on February of 2017 showed that there were 72.67 million (58.35%) informal workers and 51.87 million (41.65%) formal workers. Based on the data, informal sectors play important roles in providing employment and reducing unemployment. Workers of non-wage recipients in fact take major parts in informal sectors. This study tries to investigate worker regulations controlling social security for workers; then observe the condition of workers of non-wage recipients in Semarang regarding the model of worker social security; and analyze the model of worker social security for workers of non-wage recipients. This sociological juridical study obtained the data through literary studies, documentation, and interview with some parties involving informal workers of non-wage recipients, staffs of Manpower and Transmigration Department (Disnakertrans), and staffs of Worker Social Security Agency (BPJS) in Semarang. The results of this study showed that worker regulations controlling social security for workers have been stipulated in 1945 Constitution; Law number 40 of 2004 on National Social Security System; Law number 24 of 2011 on Social Security Agency (BPJS) and its subsequent regulations. Workers of non-wage recipients still show inadequate condition. Data from Worker Social Security Agency in 2017 indicated that there were 34.000 (3.7%) participants of non-wage recipients and 879.400 (96.3%) participants of wage recipients. The model of worker social security for non-wage recipients is realized through thorough data collection; direct or media-based socialization; coordination across agencies in different sectors; and dues assistance. Insignificant number of the participants of worker social security indicates that inter-sectoral and inter-agencies coordination is required in order to carry out intense socialization, suggesting the importance of registering as the participants of worker social security for non-wage recipients through direct registration in the agency located in the workers’ residence. Protection and assistance from the government are also needed in terms of registration and dues for non-wage recipients with low economic abilities.
