|codingrules=The CBR-LRI is a leximetric dataset on employment protection. It quantifies the strength of protection expressed in labour law and functional equivalents such as administrative regulation and collective agreements (see Adams et al. 2017). The scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "0" corresponds to the legal system recognise other regulations and "1" to the legal system obligates the power of co-decision making of works councils or enterprise committees. For country-specific information see Adams, Bishop and Deakin (2016).

|description=This variable is taken from the CBR Labour Regulation Index Dataset (‘CBR-LRI’), which provides data on labor laws in 117 countries for the period from (in most cases) 1970 to 2022, except for post-socialist countries (see Adams et al. 2017, 2023). The variable measures the rights of information and co-decision making of works councils or enterprise committees in the country's statutory or case law, constitution and relevant court decisions. The CBR-LRI data was coded using provisions of law and relevant court decisions, which are taken from secondary sources, national law databases, and ILO NATLEX data.

Equals 0 otherwise. Scope for further gradations between 0 and 1 to reflect changes in the strength of the law." The assessment of the scale levels of all variables in the CBR-LRI documentation and the specification of the values in the template are partially incongruent. The scale level was set uniformly to metric for all CBR-LRI data on collective rights in the 1st project phase of CRC 1342; this is retained for pragmatic reasons.

This variable is taken from the CBR Labour Regulation Index Dataset (‘CBR-LRI’), which provides data on labor laws in 117 countries for the period from (in most cases) 1970 to 2022, except for post-socialist countries (see Adams et al. 2017, 2023). The variable measures the rights of information and co-decision making of works councils or enterprise committees in the country's statutory or case law, constitution and relevant court decisions. The CBR-LRI data was coded using provisions of law and relevant court decisions, which are taken from secondary sources, national law databases, and ILO NATLEX data. The scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "0" corresponds to legal systems not recognizing a right to codetermination and information/consultation of workers (otherwise) and "1" if the works councils or enterprise committees have legal powers of co-decision making. Values in between describe, for example:

  • 0.67 = if works councils or enterprise committees must be provided by law under certain conditions but do not have the power of co-decision making.
  • 0.5 = if works councils or enterprise committees may be required by law unless the employer can point to alternative or pre-existing alternative arrangements.
  • 0.33 = if the law provides for information and consultation of workers or worker representatives on certain matters but where there is no obligation to maintain a works council or enterprise committee as a standing body.

Coding rules

The coding template (algorithm) with the definition of the variable and instructions for the coding process is described in Adams et al. (2017, 2023). As Adams et al. (2023) describe, the value of the variable "Codetermination and information/consultation of workers" "Equals 1 if the works councils or enterprise committees have legal powers of co-decision making. Equals 0.67 if works councils or enterprise committees must be provided by law under certain conditions but do not have the power of co-decision making. Equals 0.5 if works councils or enterprise committees may be required by law unless the employer can point to alternative or pre-existing alternative arrangements. Equals 0.33 if the law provides for information and consultation of workers or worker representatives on certain matters but where there is no obligation to maintain a works council or enterprise committee as a standing body. Equals 0 otherwise. Scope for further gradations between 0 and 1 to reflect changes in the strength of the law." The assessment of the scale levels of all variables in the CBR-LRI documentation and the specification of the values in the template are partially incongruent. The scale level was set uniformly to metric for all CBR-LRI data on collective rights in the 1st project phase of CRC 1342; this is retained for pragmatic reasons.
