Coding rules
Scope of indicator: For this indicator, we consider education laws published in the ILO NATLEX database. To ensure reliability, the index was created through joint coding by two coders.
The coding procedure in detail was as follows:
- Reviewing the law on its actual relevance to the topic
- Search the relevant laws for keywords like right, citizen, women, girls, discrimination, free, compulsory, mandatory, every, etc.
- Two approaches were used for non-English documents:
- Translate the law into English or German using Google Translate for document translation. Search the translated document for keywords, compile relevant passages, translate as needed, and enter them into the Excel spreadsheet.
- Download the law, translate keywords into the law's original language, and conduct a search. Translate and compile any relevant findings into English, then input them into the Excel spreadsheet.
- Multiple entries per law are possible in the raw data. The uploaded index only shows the highest score per year.
- Two coders coded the index values apart from each other and discussed and combined their coding in cases of mismatch.
