Abstract

This study aims to investigate and criticize the meaning of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation (Perppu No.2/2022). The methodology used in this study is using a normative juridical method approach. Research findings reveal that Perppu No.2/2022 as the latest labor regulation tends to have no meaning and implications for workers and employers from the perspective of labor law which serves as a mediator between the government, organizations and employers, workers, and trade unions. This study's results are expected to significantly contribute to stakeholders in the labor sector in making and implementing rules and regulations. This scientific contribution concluded that the government is considered to need more political will as mandated by the constitution, the 1945 Constitution. In this case, the government has not answered the essence of the people's lawsuit in the judicial review of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation (UU No.11/2020) to the Constitutional Court, mainly the process of its formation, not the material content. This study is expected to be a reference for academic studies so that all interested parties can follow up on the Constitutional Court Decision (MK) Number 91/PUU-XVIII/2020.
