 Using the seven variables, an additive index was calculated by adding the values of all variables in the dimensions "seniority" (N=4) and "selectivity" (N=3) and dividing by their number. Each dimension is assigned identical weights, as are all indications of the same dimension. Finally, the two dimensions are added together and divided by two to generate the index "Privileging function". The calculations reproduce the SPE typology from Dingeldey et al. 2020, 2022 with the exact same data (in consultation with the persons responsible for the calculations and exchange of the STATA-do files). All missing values were excluded from the analysis.

 The variable is available for 115 countries from 1970 to 2013, using 4 World of Labour (WoL) variables and 3 CBR-LRI variables (see Dingeldey et al. 2020, 2022). The data from CBR Labour Regulation Index Dataset was coded using provisions of law and relevant court decisions, which are taken from secondary sources, national law databases, and ILO NATLEX data (see Adams et al. 2017, 2023). The 4 World of Labour (WoL) variables were coded using statutory law, only. The different coding basis (text for the coding of legal norms) leads to a different mapping of the scope of law between the CBR and WoL variables. The "Privileging function" is recreated from the SPE-typology (see Dingeldey et al. 2020), which distinguishes the standard-setting (S), privileged (P) and compensatory (E) functions of labor law.<br>

+"Privileging function" measures the level of norm-related privileging in individual labour law and is a form of legal segmentation. It refers to legal norms that actively promote specific parts of the labour force. These norms link employment protection to specific conditions that are covered by the two dimensions seniority and selectivity and measured by seven indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 1 where 1 is the maximum value reflecting the highest possible level of norm-related privileging.
