The purpose of this study is to review the rights of workers to obtain protection, including informal workers, as mandated in Article 3 paragraph (2) of Law Number 32 of 1992 concerning Labor Social Security that every worker has the right to social security of workers. The hazard risk from the work environment owned by informal workers is the same as that of formal workers. So far, the occupational health services provided are still curative, while health care and improvement efforts to improve work and preventive capacity are always neglected. This study uses a juridical empirical research method with a descriptive approach; data collection is done through questionnaires. The research sample includes workers in the home or micro industries both in the Regency and in the City of Magelang. Samples are collected using a nonprobability sampling method, then analyzed using qualitative analysis with inductive methods. Based on the results of the study, the understanding of the SJSN by both employers and informal sector workers is insufficient, but the majority of respondents have a desire to join the SJSN program, with the priority of health insurance and work accident insurance programs. The ability and willingness to become a BPJS participant are influenced by the level of income, and level of education. Current informal sector workers have not been covered by guaranteed protection, both BPJS Kesehatan, and BPJS. The main factor is the non-participation of casual workers in the guarantee of protection due to financial inability to pay contributions. Besides that, it was also because of his ignorance, even though it was not significant. This is due to a lack of socialization from stakeholders regarding the importance of health and safety guarantees and protection for workers and their families in addition to regulations that also do not accommodate informal workers.

The proportion of the elderly population in Indonesia continues to increase. The implication of population aging is the low carrying capacity ratio which triggers the elderly to keep working. The need for leisure is increasing in the elderly, but almost half of the elderly in Indonesia still work. This study aims to look at the characteristics of the elderly who still work in the informal sector. This study also portrays the correlation between the carrying capacity ratio and social security ownership with the number of elderly workers by province. The secondary data used in this study is the 2018 national labor force survey data. The method used to answer this study is Pearson correlation analysis and binary logistic regression. The correlation analysis findings show that the higher the carrying capacity ratio of the elderly, the less elderly who work in a province. Social security in the elderly has a negative relationship with the number of elderly people who work. An interesting finding from the logit model is that the elderly with disabilities, both minor and moderate, are more inclined to work in the informal sector than the elderly who are not disabled. Low and secondary education in the elderly has a higher tendency to work in the informal sector than the elderly who have high education

<p>A major challenge for the city authorities of Harare and Mutare in Zimbabwe is to come up with clear policies and actions aimed at supporting and nurturing the informal sector as well as improving health and safety in the sector. This study thus aims at assessing the awareness of ergonomics principles in the small scale enterprises of Harare and Mutare.<strong> </strong>The level of awareness of ergonomics principles is low in the small scale informal sectors of Harare and Mutare. It was expected that builders, woodworkers and welders would have a higher level of ergonomic principles, but this was not the case. The informal workers are employed in a high-risk sector, but survey results indicated that improving their work environment is not one of their top priorities. The financial situation and the fact that occupational hazards and diseases are not always visible means that their limited resources are allocated to field other than occupational health and safety. Workers in the informal sector are not affected by the traditional employer-employee relationship as that obtains in the formal sector where the employee is obliged to care for the workers occupational health and safety needs. In order to address occupational health and safety discrepancies in the informal sector there is need for change of mindset and this can be catalysed by the local authorities and other organizations. The local authorities can begin by ensuring basic occupational hygiene skills among the informal sector workers so that they may realize their economic potential and hence sustained businesses.</p>

Nowadayas, the increasing of economic growth requires individuals to try to make ends meet. The employment relationship between the business owner and his workers is regulated in a work agreement. In the current covid-19 pandemic, many companies are implementing part-time work to reduce company operating costs. This research examines two main problems, namely the regulation of health and safety laws for certain time workers, and legal protection of social security for certain time workers. Normative legal research is used in this research by examining problems based on the applicable legal basis in the form of statutory regulations and supported by theories from experts. The results showed that the legal basis regarding health and safety for part-time workers is regulated in Article 99 paragraph (1) of Law no. 23 of 2003 concerning Employment which regulates that every worker and his family has the right to obtain employment social security. Then, employment social security is regulated in Law no. 40 of 2004 concerning the National Social Security System (SJSN) and Law no. 24 of 2011 concerning BPJS. The implementation of social security is based on simultaneous efforts that are family and mutual in nature according to the mandate of the Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that in this case part-time workers do not really understand the protection of their rights as workers within a certain period of time.  For this reason, this regulation on the protection of workers should be further disseminated to workers and business actors so that workers can obtain their rights in accordance with applicable regulations.

Voluntary social insurance is the type of social insurance that an employee voluntarily participates in, it is allowed the employee to choose the payment rate and method of payment in accordance with his/her income, based on the general regulations of the State. Accordingly, this is an additional form of compulsory social insurance in the context of not implementing compulsory social insurance for all employees. This is an opportunity for employees to have an additional means of ensuring their financial condition against risks and incidents in life. However, the actual results indicate that the number of voluntary social insurance participants has increased rapidly but is not commensurate with its potential. This study aims to examine the effects of perceptions of benefits and perceptions of risk on attitudes towards voluntary social insurance based on a survey conducted on 245 workers in the informal sectors in Hanoi. The research results show that, as expected and consistent with previous studies, the attitude towards participating in social insurance is actually influenced by the participants' perception of benefits and risks. Accordingly, it is necessary to focus on increasing these perceptions for employees as the solutions to change attitudes with voluntary social insurance. This will promote the intention and behavior of employees to participate in social insurance in the informal sector, thereby contribute to ensure social security.

The covid-19 pandemic has damaged the structure of the global economy, including Indonesia. Government policies that are stuttering and inconsistent between handling health or economic recovery have resulted in their implementation being not optimal and having a significant impact on economic actors in the informal sector. As a result, informal workers need to make efforts to survive amid the crisis. Based on a literature review, this article presents analytical concepts for analyzing strategies undertaken by young informal workers with an illustration of informal sector workers in the city of Banda Aceh. The results show that there are seven possible ways to survive in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic, namely taking debt to family and friends, returning to your hometown, reducing the quantity of consumption, working with other people's capital, building a subsistence economy, diversification of informal workers and circumventing government regulations. These strategies are rooted in everyday life and in reality which are taken for granted and therefore are not acts of instrumental rationality.
