- Abstract
In Javanese society, especially in Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta, there is a culture named Ngenger, which means joining people who are richer, more powerful, more respectable or smarter than their own family. Children who conduct ngenger have to perform various tasks ordered by the host in exchange for which, generally, are not money but are food, livestock or school fees. The problem is, from a legal perspective, the relationship between a child who conducts ngenger to the host is similar to a work relationship that creates rights and obligations on the parties. This research discusses the rights that should be obtained by children who conduct ngenger. The results showed that the relationship between the child conduct ngenger to the host is a work relationship. In this way, a child who conducts ngenger can be classified as a worker. This is because the elements of the work relationship are fulfilled namely the existence of work, orders, wages, and time. As the children who conduct ngenger is a worker, the have the right to get a decent wage, the right to get appropriate working time, the right to get adequate rest and leave, the right to education and the right to get safety and health in working.
