This CBR-LRI indicator measures the normal number of paid public holidays guaranteed by law or collective agreement. The same score is given for laws and for collective agreements which are de facto binding on most of the workforce (as in the case of systems which have extension legislation for collective agreements).
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 of the indicator was normalised so that "0" corresponds to 0 days and "1" to 18 days of paid holidays. For country-specific information see Adams, Bishop and Deakin (2016).
