- Description
-
Provides data on the introduction and development of work-injury policy in 186 independent nation states. Includes generosity and inclusivity scores for all countries in the year 2020. These scores are harmonized to match with the Social Insurance Entitlements Dataset (SIED). Work-injury policies were historically known as “workmen’s compensation”, "workman's compensation" and sometimes “accident insurance” among policymakers and scholars. The data include year of introduction of first laws, the types of laws, coverage of blue-collar workers and steps on the path to social insurance laws.
