"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.
