Abstract

Masih banyak perusahaan yang mempekerjakan “pekerja anak” bertambah pula pekerja anak yang memerlukan sistem perlindungan hukum, sehingga sangatlah menarik untuk dikaji dan diteliti, bagaimana sesungguhnya perlindungan hukum pekerja anak dari tindakan eksploitasi ketenagakerjaan. Sehingga dapat dirumuskan isu sentral dalam tesis ini, yaitu bagaimana implementasi peraturan perundang-undangan ketenagakerjaan sebagi upaya perlindungan hukum terhadap eksploitasi pekerja anak dan bagaimana hambatan-hambatan dan langkah-langkah yang ditempuh Pemerintah dalam menanggulangi eksploitasi pekerja anak. Penelitian ini termasuk jenis penelitian yuridis normatif yang merupakan penelitian kepustakaan yaitu penelitian terhadap data sekunder meliputi inventarisasi hukum positif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat digambarkan bahwa sistem perlindungan hukum pekerja anak yang ada belum dilaksanakan secara nyata, pelanggaran hukum yang dilakukan oleh pengusaha tidak mendapatkan tindakan hukum sebagaimana mestinya, karena tidak terlaksananya fungsi pegawai pengawas ketenagakerjaan. Oleh karena itu perlu diupayakan satu kesatuan tekad dan langkah dari para pejabat pemerintah, aparatur pelaksana, para pengusaha, para orang tua serta seluruh komponen Bangsa untuk benarbenar meniadakan pekerja anak. There are still many companies employing “children workers”; therefore, the number of children workers needing a lawful protection system is increasing, thus, this matter is very interesting to be studied and examined in how the lawful protection for children workers against manpower exploitation actually is. From those matters, therefore, the central issues in this thesis can be concluded, which are, how is the implementation of manpower legislation is as the efforts of lawful protection against children workers exploitation and what the obstacles and measures are taken by the government in preventing children workers exploitation. This research is a juridical-normative research, which is a bibliographical research; a research of secondary data covering the inventory of positive law. Based on the research results, it can described that the existing lawful protection system for children workers has not been executed in reality; the lawful violations done by the employers do not undergo any lawful actions as they should because the function of manpower supervisory officers is not executed. Therefore, the unity of determination and measure of governmental officers, executive functionaries, businessmen / employers, parents, and all national components to abolish children workers completely should be striven.
