Study of the Effectiveness of the Job Creation Law in Improving Workers' Welfare from the Perspective of Roscoe Pounds' Sociological Jurisprudence Theory

Abstract

This article discusses the Effectiveness of the Job Creation Law in terms of workers' welfare after the issuance of the Job Creation Law. Of course, the Job Creation Law still raises problems in it, including in the process of forming legislation with the Omnibus Law concept which is not clearly regulated in Law Number 12 of 2011 concerning the formation of legislation. This is because the Omnibus Law is a concept of thinking that has the characteristic of being able to change and eliminate several regulations into one regulation that can cover all aspects. The research method for studying this article is Normative Jurisprudence. The results of the study are from a sociological perspective regarding the welfare of workers in the Job Creation Law, it can be analyzed using modern sociological theory from Roscoe Pounds on Sociological Jurisprudence. The functionalist theories that describe early societies are valuable because they show that law is a social phenomenon that depends on other factors in society (because the legal system is formed by forces outside the system). Structural functionalism is the system that has had the greatest influence on social science in this century. Structural functionalism also chooses goals to achieve social order. Adherents of this theory assume that all events and all structures are functional in society. Change can occur slowly in society. If there is a conflict, structural functionalist theorists will focus on how to solve the problem so that society remains balanced.
