Development of a Legal System to Strengthen the Direction and Structure of Social Welfare Policy
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study discusses how legal frameworks can be developed to strengthen the direction and structure of social welfare policies in a substantial, responsive, and equitable manner. Using a normative juridical literature study approach, the discussion focuses on the study of applicable regulations in Indonesia such as Law Number 11 Year 2009 concerning Social Welfare, Law Number 13 Year 2011 concerning Handling the Poor, and other relevant regulations. The results of the study show that the law has not fully reached the dimensions of the dynamic and complex social needs of society. A number of problems were identified, such as weak synchronization of regulations, limited theoretical basis in norm formation, and lack of participatory and supervisory mechanisms in the implementation of social policies. These findings emphasize the need for structural and substantial legal reform in order to become an effective instrument in guaranteeing society social rights. This study provides a conceptual contribution in formulating the direction of legal development that is inclusive, fair and based on social reality, which is important for policy makers, academics and social advocacy actorsThis study discusses how legal frameworks can be developed to strengthen the direction and structure of social welfare policies in a substantial, responsive, and equitable manner.
