Ketika Pancasila dihadapkan dengan berbagai Kesenjangan sosial: Mencari Keadilan Sosial di Tengah Ketimpangan Ekonomi

Abstract

This article discusses the challenges of Indonesia's yawning social gap, amid increasingly complex economic inequality. Although Pancasila explicitly sets social justice as a lofty ideal, the reality on the ground shows that economic inequality is still a major challenge. This article analyzes the implementation of Pancasila values, particularly the Fifth Precept, in the context of social inequality in Indonesia, and seeks solutions to realize social justice. There is a need for intensive collaboration from the government, private sector, and society to formulate comprehensive structural reform policies. These policies include improving the quality of education, skills training, improving the distribution system of natural resources, and strengthening transparent governance. The goal is to achieve inclusive economic growth, reduce social inequality, and realize national stability. This article also discusses the importance of ensuring every citizen gets equal opportunities in various aspects as a manifestation of the Fifth Precept of Pancasila. This can be achieved through policies that focus on equal distribution and income, improving access to basic services, and creating open jobs. The author also emphasizes the importance of the strategic role of government and society in minimizing discrimination, complementing each other, reducing inequality, and ensuring sustainability.
