This paper will answer two questions related to whether there is a need for sanctions for those who refuse to be vaccinated, what sanctions are appropriate from the perspective of interest theory, and what is the legal basis for imposing sanctions for those who refuse to be vaccinated in Indonesia. This study uses a sociolegal approach from the perspective of interest theory, it is found that sanctions can not only be given but must be given to those who refuse to be vaccinated. According to this perspective, the appropriate sanction is not fines or imprisonment, but deprivation of the right to socialize. The legal basis for imposing sanctions for those who refuse to be vaccinated is Article 5 of Law 4/1984 and PerPres12/2021. The sanctions referred to are administrative in nature in the form of termination of social security or social assistance, postponement or termination of government administration services, and fines. These sanctions do not contribute to stopping the spread of the Covid-19 virus, so it is recommended that amendments to these provisions are necessary.

The concept of a social assistance agreement, its parties and purpose, which depends on the type of agreement, is defined. The system and mechanisms of concluding social assistance agreements as a basis for the formation of a non-state social security system are studied. The legislation does not contain a single list and mechanics of conclusion and execution. Under a social assistance agreement, the recipient, as a person in difficult life circumstances that he or she cannot overcome or mitigate on his or her own, may receive material benefits or other intangible benefits at the expense or with the participation of the provider under certain conditions. The purpose of concluding a contract is to assist in overcoming or mitigating difficult life circumstances at the expense of the provider's funds or property, or by raising funds or the provider's property, using non-state social security funds for a certain period. A person in need of social security has the right to use the assistance of a charitable organization in the form prescribed by law. On the basis of the agreement it is possible to receive services from volunteers and the volunteer organization. The probation volunteering contract is concluded to achieve the goal set by law, so it is advisable to set clear requirements for the probation volunteer. It is substantiated that the content of the inheritance agreement may stipulate the provision of social security to the alienator on the terms specified in the agreement. It is established that social security for children in difficult life circumstances can be provided by concluding social assistance agreements. The expediency of applying a foster care agreement to a child who has suffered from human trafficking, who has lost his or her parents or whose parents are unable to perform their duties due to health or other reasons in order to ensure that he or she is provided with social security under the conditions specified by law. The expediency of applying a foster care agreement for the immediate provision of family care for a child for a period when his family status is uncertain is indicated. It is substantiated that the purpose of the agreement on the placement of a child in foster care and cohabitation in a foster family is to provide him with social security and create conditions for learning and development. It is established that the purpose of the agreement on the establishment of a family-type orphanage is to guarantee the provision of social services and state assistance. On the basis of the conducted research the expediency of normative fixing of the standard form of the contract on rendering services of the municipal nanny that will promote coordination of interests of the parties of this contract and protection of their rights is proved.

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.

This contribution deals with the co-ordination of minimum subsistence benefits in EU law. It is argued that the distinction between social assistance schemes and non-contributory benefits in EU social security law is becoming increasingly redundant. This is recognised in the case law of the CJEU, although paradoxically not in a way that strengthens the rights of mobile citizens, but in an adverse manner that undermines the co-ordination efforts of non-contributory benefits under Regulation 883/2004. In order to overcome this problem, it is argued that social assistance should be included in the material scope of application of Regulation 883/2004. This regulation should abandon the concept of special non-contributory benefits and introduce a new category of minimum subsistence benefits, which would also include social assistance schemes. Such a change could be accompanied by a single, coherent principle to govern the relationship between the right to benefits (Regulation 883/2004) and residence rights (Directive 2004/38), if necessary supported by a cost sharing mechanism for minimum substance benefits under Regulation 883/2004 and, preferably, by a recognition of minimum protection standards for economically non-active EU citizens without a legal right of residence.

Purposes: Russian Federation as many other States experience the growth of the “gig economy”. The number of people working via platforms grows with every year. As a result, it brings up a new form of employment. Consequently, national law and social security systems have to adapt to new challenges in order to provide from one hand, efficient regulation of such relations, from another hand – to protect the rights of crowd-workers. Methodology: Russian legislators introduced in 2013 the new concept of “distance work”, which partially covers platform workers. Since late 2019 new regulations concerning non-registered self-employed persons will come into force. Nonetheless, the discussion on the place of crowd-workers remains to be open within practitioners and scholars and still shows the uncertainty. Result: In this paper, we tried to determine the legal status of platform workers and identify their place within the system of Labour and Social Security Law with a detailed focus on access to Unemployment Benefit and Social Assistance. Implications/Applications: As a general rule, digital platforms do not impose concrete requirements for the crowd-worker, for instance as the obligation of having registered status as individual entrepreneurship. In this case, any physical person showing the will to work can register with a platform and provide services. Novelty/Originality: We will try to give the legal definition and to find out the recognition of so-called Platform Workers within the national Labour Law. After the research will be focused on a social cluster: the right of Platform Workers to access to Unemployment Benefit and Social Assistance.

Can welfare sanctions and the right to a subsistence minimum coexist? The present article sheds light on this question by examining recent developments in German social assistance law and placing them in the broader international legal context. In November 2019, the German Constitutional Court declared a large portion of the applicable regime unconstitutional because it violated the basic right to a guaranteed subsistence minimum. The first part of the article examines this German basic right and the way its normative requirements are applied by the Constitutional Court to welfare sanctions. Two important points of reference which are discussed relate to the effectiveness of the measures and the availability of sanction mitigation instruments that safeguard the constitutionally guaranteed subsistence minimum. The second part of the article carries out a similar examination into the international human right to social assistance and the respective case law of the international supervisory bodies. A comparative legal analysis is carried out in the third part, which highlights the similarities between the German and the international legal approach to minimum social protection and welfare sanctions. The article concludes with the observation that welfare sanctions and the right to a subsistence minimum can only coexist under the condition that states respect the absolute nature of minimum social protection and reconcile the adopted measures with the primary objective of social assistance: reintegration and social inclusion.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) proclaimed the equality of all human beings in dignity and rights. The right to social security, however, has been taken more seriously only since the 2000s, through calls for ‘Social security for all’ and ‘Leaving no one behind’. The book investigates a major response, social cash transfers to the poor. The idea of simply giving money to the poor had been rejected by all major development organizations until the 1990s, but since the early 2000s, social cash transfers have mushroomed in the global South and on agendas of international organizations. How come? What programmes have emerged in which countries? How inclusive are the programmes? What models have international organizations devised? Based on unique quantitative and qualitative data, the book takes stock of all identifiable cash transfers in all Southern countries and of the views of all major international organizations. The author argues that cash transfers reflect broader changes: new understandings of development, of human rights, of global risks, of the social responsibility of governments, and of universalism. Social cash transfers have turned the poor from objects of charity into rights-holders and agents of their own lives and of development. A repertoire of cash transfers has evolved that has enhanced social citizenship, but is limited by weak political commitments. The book also contributes to a general theory of social policy in development contexts, through a constructivist sociological approach that complements the dominant approaches from welfare economics and political economy and includes a theory of social assistance.

This chapter discusses the right to avoid procreation and the regulation of pregnancy from a European perspective. The legal basis for a right to avoid procreation can be said to fall within the scope of several provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), an instrument that is binding for all European countries. Here, Article 12 of the ECHR gives men and women of marriageable age the right to marry and found a family in accordance with the national laws governing this right. However, Article 12 protects some elements of the right not to procreate, but for couples only. The lack of common European consensus in this area highlights how matters relating to the right to decide on the number and spacing of children touch on aspects that differ from country to country even in what could appear to be a homogenous region. In fact, the cultural, moral, and historical milieus that surround these rights differ considerably with diverse national perceptions of the role of the family, gender equality, religious and moral obligations, and so on.
