Coding rules
The program type of a work-injury law can either be “Risk-Pooling”, meaning that there is some kind of mandatory risk pooling or “Employer liability” meaning that there is no involvement of the state in financing and risk pooling, only an obligation for the employers to compensate in the case of work accidents. In this version of the variable, “Risk-Pooling” refers to either provident funds set up by the state or made mandatory by the state or actual social insurance with a private or state carrier (as with the coding of labor_workinjury_firstins). “Employer liability” is not the same as common or civil law codes that assign fault in case of injury. “Employer liability” means that there is a specific law targeting employers in industrial accidents and deaths as something more than basic common and civil codes.
