Equal treatment of part-time with full-time workers (CBR-LRI)

Indicator measuring the existence and strength of legislation concerning the equal treatment of part-time with full-time workers. Developed by Adams, Deakin et al. for the CBR-LRI Dataset.

Coding Rules

Equals 1 if the legal system recognises a right to equal treatment for part-time workers (as, for example, in the case of EC Directive 97/81/EC. Equals 0.5 if the legal system recognises a more limited right to equal treatment for part-time workers (via, e.g., sex discrimination law or a more general right of workers not be treated arbitrarily in employment). Equals 0 if neither of the above. Scope for scores between 0 and 1 to reflect changes in the strength of the law.
