The gig economy has experienced rapid growth in Indonesia, with a rising number of platform-based workers engaged through digital platforms such as Gojek, Grab, Shopee, and Tokopedia. However, the legal status of gig workers remains unclear, leading to weak labor protections, particularly in terms of access to social security and compliance with minimum wage standards. This study aims to analyze the legal protection available for gig workers in Indonesia and identify regulatory reforms necessary to improve their welfare. Using a normative juridical and empirical approach, the research examines existing labor regulations and conducts a survey involving 300 gig workers in the transportation, logistics, and digital service sectors. The findings reveal that 60% of gig workers lack social security coverage, 70% do not receive wages that meet minimum standards, and only 20% have formal employment contracts. Furthermore, 72% of workers report income instability, while 85% express the need for clearer regulations to safeguard their rights. The study highlights that the ambiguous legal status of gig workers in Indonesia contributes to high job insecurity and significant disparities in labor protection compared to formal sector employees. Therefore, more adaptive regulatory reforms are needed to ensure that gig workers receive legal protection equivalent to that of workers in the formal sector. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a foundation for policymakers in designing more inclusive and responsive labor regulations that address the evolving dynamics of employment in the digital era.

The increasing number of juveniles encountering the legal system in Indonesia underscores the need for a more effective approach within the juvenile criminal justice system (SPPA). Restorative Justice (RJ) has been adopted as an alternative to the conventional punitive-oriented judicial system. However, the implementation of RJ in Indonesia continues to face several challenges, including a lack of understanding among law enforcement officers, limited rehabilitation facilities, and minimal victim participation in the resolution process. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of RJ in resolving juvenile criminal offenses in Indonesia while identifying the challenges and strategies for improving its implementation. The research employs a normative and empirical legal approach, utilizing case studies of juvenile offenses resolved through RJ. Data is collected through interviews with law enforcement officials, victims, and offenders, as well as an analysis of relevant regulations, such as Law No. 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. Findings reveal that over the past five years, the average success rate of RJ in resolving juvenile cases in Indonesia has reached 60%, with a 45% reduction in recidivism rates compared to the formal judicial system. However, obstacles such as inadequate legal training for law enforcement personnel and limited rehabilitation facilities remain significant challenges in RJ implementation. This study contributes to policy reform discussions on juvenile justice in Indonesia by recommending capacity-building initiatives for legal practitioners and strengthening victim engagement mechanisms in the RJ process. Additionally, it highlights the need for increased investment in rehabilitation infrastructure and further research into the application of RJ in addressing the rising cases of cyber-related offenses among juveniles
