This CBR-LRI indicator measures whethers the legal system recognises or grants the right to form unions or not.
Equals 1 if a right to form trade unions is expressly granted by the constitution. Equals 0.67 if trade unions are described in the constitution as a matter of public policy or public interest. Equals 0.33 if trade unions are otherwise mentioned in the constitution or there is a reference to freedom of association which encompasses trade unions. Equals 0 otherwise. Scope for further gradations between 0 and 1 to reflect changes in the strength of the law.
- 1 = the constitution recognises and is granting a right to form trade unions
- 0.67 = the constitution is describing trade unions as a matter of public policy or public interest
- 0.33 = the constitution is recognising trade unions otherwise or there is a reference to freedom of association
- 0 = neither of the above
quasi-metric scale; further gradations between 0 and 1 reflect changes in the strength of law
Coding rules
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 do not recognise a right to form unions and "1" to the legal system is granting the right to form unions. For country-specific information see Adams, Bishop and Deakin (2016). 1 = the constitution recognises and is granting a right to form trade unions</li></ul> 0.67 = the constitution is describing trade unions as a matter of public policy or public interest 0.33 = the constitution is recognising trade unions otherwise or there is a reference to freedom of association 0 = neither of the above quasi-metric scale; further gradations between 0 and 1 reflect changes in the strength of law
