POLICY ANALYSIS ON INTEGRATED CHILD CENTER - CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: CASE STUDY ON HOSPITALITY BUSINESS SECTOR IN INDONESIA

Abstract

It is inevitable that business both small and large will interact with and have an impact on the lives of children, directly or indirectly. Children are the key stakeholders for business – children as the consumers, children within the business such as the employees‟ children; intern youth and young workers; and children as the member of communities and environments in which business operates. Do Government and business pays respect to children rights? This study was conducted in 2016 using document review, roundtable discussions and decision consensus meeting participated by experts and practitioner.The contribution of business sector to protect children at the workplace related to hospitality business shows through the prohibition on employing children set out in the Laws on Child Protection and Manpower and local Government regulation on Tourism. Violation of the law occurred due to the lack of monitoring and supervision from competent authority. Children are also market of business either as consumer. There is lack of information and awareness can lead to business jeopardizing children‟s rights. There is no hotel regulation to prohibit hotel guests bringing children who are not their family. This creates the opportunity for guests to use a hotel as a place to commit children‟s sexual exploitation. Some hotels have also adjusted their standards on ethics and appearance of apprentices. However, lack of monitoring and supervision as well as lack of law enforcement are still the main challenges in this area. There are at least 2 Laws related to communities and environment:1) Law on Limited Liability Companies requires; and 2) Law Number 25/2007 on Capital Investment. If business did not comply with these rules, it will be sanctioned. There are still gaps such as policies on children's rights related to the environment, land acquisition and security arrangement; and provision of access and quality of basic services for children, including children with disability.
