|description = The standard-setting function consists of two relevant dimensions, working time restriction and dismissal protection, that are measured by 13 indicators based on legal norms. It bears a great resemblance with previous employment protection measures as it captures the level of general worker protection. The function refers to active norm-setting that defines general standards of legal protection. The measure solely relies on CBR-LRI indicators,

"Standard-setting function" measures the level of general worker protection in individual labour law in place in a country during a particular year. The function refers to active norm-setting that defines general standards of legal protection. The indicator ranges from 0 to 1 where 1 is the maximum value reflecting the highest possible level of general worker protection. The variable is available for 115 countries from 1970 to 2013, using 13 CBR-LRI variables. 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 "Standard-setting 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>

|codingrules = We used the mean of all indicators of one dimension, and again the mean of all dimensions of the function, thereby assigning equal weights to each dimension, and thus equal weights to all indicators of one dimension. Since the dimensions working time and dismissal protectionshowed empirical maxima below ‘1’ over the period of 43 years. We therefore normalised their scales, that is, we divided them by their empirical maximum.

Using these indicators, an additive index was calculated by adding the values of all variables in the dimensions "Working time" (CBR-LRI 9-15, N=7) and "Dismissal" (CBR-LRI 16-22, N=7) and dividing by their number. The scales of the dimensions working time and dismissal protection are normalised, that is, they are divided them by their empirical maximum. 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 "Standard-setting 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.

"Standard-setting function" measures the level of general worker protection in individual labour law in place in a country during a particular year. The function refers to active norm-setting that defines general standards of legal protection. The indicator ranges from 0 to 1 where 1 is the maximum value reflecting the highest possible level of general worker protection. The variable is available for 115 countries from 1970 to 2013, using 13 CBR-LRI variables. 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 "Standard-setting 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.


Coding rules

The index calculation is based on 13 CBR-LRI indicators:

  • Annual leave entitlements: CBR-LRI, B.9
  • Public holiday entitlements: CBR-LRI, B.10
  • Overtime premia: CBR-LRI, B.11
  • Weekend working: CBR-LRI, B.12
  • Limits to overtime working: CBR-LRI, B.13
  • Duration of the normal working week: CBR-LRI; B.14
  • Maximum daily working time: CBR-LRI, B.15
  • Legally mandated notice period: CBR-LRI, C.16
  • Legally mandated redundancy compensation: CBR-LRI, C.17
  • Law imposes procedural constraints on dismissal: CBR-LRI, C.19
  • Law imposes substantive constraints on dismissal: CBR-LRI, C.20
  • Reinstatement normal remedy for unfair dismissal: CBR-LRI, C.21
  • Notification of dismissal: CBR-LRI, C.22

Using these indicators, an additive index was calculated by adding the values of all variables in the dimensions "Working time" (CBR-LRI 9-15, N=7) and "Dismissal" (CBR-LRI 16-22, N=7) and dividing by their number. The scales of the dimensions working time and dismissal protection are normalised, that is, they are divided them by their empirical maximum. 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 "Standard-setting 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.
