IMPLICATIONS OF OMNIBUS LAW ON JOB CREATION TOWARDS REGULATIONS IN DECENTRALIZATION PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The ongoing discourse of the implementation of omnibus law in Indonesia through Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation persists. Despite the Constitutional Court's conditional ruling on its validity, the Minister of Home Affairs' Instruction Number 68 of 2021 mandates regions to comply with the Job Creation Act and adjust their regional regulations accordingly, posing a dilemma. The law encompasses diverse content, spanning eleven clusters, and impacts various provisions across different laws, necessitating adjustments in lower-tier regulations, including those at the regional level. Consequently, this deregulates numerous regional regulations as part of a delegation of norms from higher regulations, placing the responsibility on regional governments to harmonize and synchronize regional regulations to effectively implement autonomy and co-administration tasks in line with decentralization principles.
