ABSTRACT. Indonesia has an abundance of human capital. The supply of this plentiful population does not balance the availability of adequate job prospects. This makes the unemployment rate in Indonesia very high. This paper explains the status of citizens' rights to decent work in Law No 39 of 1999 and how the state fulfills citizens' rights to decent work in compliance with the provision of Law 39 of 1999. This research incorporates techniques of observational research for a literature approach. Data were collected from government legislation and literature applicable to this article. The findings of this study show that every resident of the Republic of Indonesia enjoys civil freedom and human rights, including the right to respectable work in compliance with Law No. 39 of 1999, in addition to state health insurance.
