JAKARTA, H OS LAW FIRM — Dalam rezim hukum ketenagakerjaan Indonesia, tidak ada satu pun perusahaan yang dapat berlindung di balik dalih “kesepakatan para pihak” apabila isi perjanjian kerja bertentangan dengan Peraturan Perundang-Undangan. Prinsip ini bukan sekadar asas moral hubungan industrial, melainkan norma imperatif yang secara tegas diperintahkan oleh Undang-Undang dan bersifat memaksa ( dwingendrecht ). Dengan demikian, setiap Perjanjian Kerja yang menyimpangi hak normatif pekerja pada hakikatnya adalah cacat hukum dan kehilangan legitimasi yuridisnya sejak awal. Dasar hukumnya sangat jelas dalam Pasal 52 ayat (1) huruf d Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan sebagaimana telah diubah dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2023 tentang Penetapan Perppu Cipta Kerja menjadi Undang-Undang, menentukan bahwa: “Perjanjian kerja dibuat atas dasar pekerjaan yang diperjanjikan tidak bertentangan dengan ketertiban umum, kesusilaan, dan Peraturan Perundang-Undangan yan...

Rural Development in 2025: Challenges, Progress, and Policy Synergy

JAKARTA, HOS LAW FIRM - Rural Rural development remains a cornerstone of Indonesia’s national development agenda. In 2025, the government reaffirmed its strong commitment by allocating IDR 80 trillion in Village Funds, reaching over 75,500 villages across the country. This significant increase is part of a sustainable and inclusive development strategy that focuses not only on physical infrastructure but also on human resource capacity building and village digitalization.

The government launched the “Village Digitalization” program aimed at accelerating internet access and digital services in the 3T areas (Frontier, Outermost, and Disadvantaged), in line with the national broadband connectivity agenda through 2027. This is a crucial step considering that approximately 35-40% of villages still lack adequate internet access, according to the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology data in 2024.

Despite notable progress, regional disparities remain a serious challenge. The latest 2025 Village Development Index (IDM) indicates that about 12-14% of villages are classified as very underdeveloped, especially in Papua, Maluku, and East Nusa Tenggara. Geographic constraints, limited human resources, and suboptimal fund management slow down the equitable distribution of development outcomes.

Between 2019 and 2025, Village Funds have helped build over 120,000 kilometers of village roads, 1,500 bridges, and thousands of clean water facilities, integrated health posts (posyandu), and early childhood education centers (PAUD). However, evaluations by the Ministry of Villages emphasize the need to improve fund utilization quality, focusing on transparency, accountability, and strengthening village officials’ capacities through project management and information technology training.

Recent policies also stress the importance of synergy between Village Funds and social protection programs such as the Family Hope Program (PKH) and Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT), ensuring rural development directly impacts poverty alleviation. Additionally, developing village economies based on local potential and sustainable agriculture is prioritized to achieve economic self-reliance in villages.

The acceleration of digital infrastructure and renewable energy is also part of the government’s strategy to address climate change challenges and the Industry 4.0 revolution. This will provide broader access for rural communities to information, education, health services, and new economic opportunities.

To ensure Village Funds function effectively as instruments of social justice, the government must strengthen oversight, expand civil society participation in evaluations, and tailor allocations to the specific needs of each village. Thus, rural development in 2025 not only reduces disparities but also drives inclusive and sustainable growth, which is key to national progress.
