The privileging function 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. It is a form of legal segmentation.
Coding rules
The index calculation relies on three CBR-LRI and four WoL indicators: Legally mandated notice period increases with seniority, Legally mandated severance compensation increases with seniority, Seniority is a decisive redundancy selection criterion, Priority in re-employment, Dismissal protection depends on size of enterprise, The law determines the legal status of the worker, Minimum qualifying period for unjust dismissal. We calculated 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. The dimension selectivity showed empirical maxima below ‘1’ over the period of 43 years. We therefore normalised their scales, that is, we divided them by their empirical maximum.
