Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Global Work-Injury Policy Database (GWIP): Project Overview and Codebook(2020-09); The Global Work-Injury Policy Database (GWIP) provides data on the introduction and development of work-injury policy in 186 independent nation states. 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.BerichtBand:4181 155 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, The expansion of unemployment insurance in the Global South, 1980-2019(2025-11-07); ; ; This dissertation is the result of a data collection effort that maps the development of unemployment insurance (UI) in the Global South between 1980 and 2019. Based on a novel dataset compiled for this study, it documents reforms, coverage rates, and benefit generosity across 40 late-adopting countries. The analysis identifies a clear trend of UI expansion over the observed period. To explain this development, I examine the determinants of UI expansion along three dimensions: policy enactment, practical implementation, and benefit design. Across all analyses, democratization consistently emerges as the main driver of expansion. Furthermore, economic conditions and government ideology impact UI development under certain conditions. By introducing new data and testing established theories in an understudied policy domain, the study advances research on welfare state development in the Global South beyond typical social policy schemes such as pension and health care. This dissertation contributes to the research by (1) providing novel data on UI generosity, (2) mapping and describing the development and expansion of UI in 40 Global South economies, (3) identifying determinants of UI expansion and (4) integrating UI into the general research on welfare state expansion in the Global SouthDissertation21 18
