|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 employers duty of the right to reach an agreement with official collective actors in the country's constitution (flexibly interpreted in the case of countries without a codified constitution). 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 variable scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "0" corresponds to the legal system where employers may lawfully refuse to bargain with workers and "1" to employers have the legal duty to bargain and/or to reach an agreement with unions, works councils or other organizations of workers.

The assessment of the scale level in the CBR-LRI documentation and the description of the values in the template are partially contradictory. As Adams et al.

Related indicators

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 employers duty of the right to reach an agreement with official collective actors in the country's constitution (flexibly interpreted in the case of countries without a codified constitution). 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 where employers may lawfully refuse to bargain with workers and "1" to employers have the legal duty to bargain and/or to reach an agreement with unions, works councils or other organizations of workers.

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). Adams et al. (2023:20) describe the values of the variable "Duty to bargain" as "Equals 1 if employers have the legal duty to bargain and/or to reach an agreement with unions, works councils or other organizations of workers. Equals 0 if employers may lawfully refuse to bargain with workers. Scope for further gradations between 0 and 1 to reflect changes in the strength of the law.". The assessment of the scale level in the CBR-LRI documentation and the description of the values in the template are partially contradictory. As Adams et al. (2023:7) state “Some indicators use binary coding but most use non-binary or graduated scores. The template indicates the approach to scoring in each case. Some indicators are expressed as cardinal variables (for example, those relating to minimum qualifying periods of continuous employment) but most are expressed on an ordinal scale.”. The scale level for WESIS was set uniformly to metric for all CBR-LRI data in the 1st project phase of CRC 1342; this is retained because all variables are normalised on a 0-1 scale. Users should use the WESIS scale level with caution and consult the coding template (algorithm) and values.
