Tantangan Implementasi Kebijakan Publik Terhadap Penyerapan Tenaga Kerja Disabilitas

Abstract

Policies on the protection of workers with disabilities often face obstacles in their implementation. This study aims to investigate the implementation of affirmative policies on disabled workers. This study uses qualitative methods with data collection techniques through interviews, observation and documentation. The interview technique used purposive sampling by interviewing several informants. During the observation, it was found that there was a low number of disabled workers. Documentation techniques aim to obtain data regarding the disability worker. The results of the study show that the implementation of affirmative policies for disabled workers is still low. This is evidenced by the failure to fulfill the 1% quota on the supposed quota in disabled workers. To improve the competence of workers with disabilities, the government provides a Disability Service Unit (ULD). The results of the study show that the implementation of ULD service policies in Mataram City is still not optimal. Unorganized communication between organizations or employers and the lack of training for agency employees regarding disability needs results in less than optimal absorption of workers with disabilities.
