Coding rules
The WoL is a leximetric dataset on individual employment protection. It quantifies the strength of the standard-setting, privileging, and equalising function of individual labour law (see Dingeldey et al. 2020). The scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "0" corresponds to no guarantee of equal pay for equal vailue exists and "1" to the law is guaranteeing equal pay for equal vailue. For country-specific information see WoL documentation (forthcoming).
