OECD employment protection benchmark score
FIGURE 1.25 Employment protection indicators in selected countries
selected non-OECD countries specific requirement for collective dismissals (2) OECD average individual + collective (1+2)
regulation of temporary employment (3) OECD average total (1+2+3)
Source: OECD 2009. Note: OECD = Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The OECD employment protection indicators cover three aspects of employment protection: individual dismissal of permanent workers, regulation of temporary employment, and specific requirements for collective dismissal. Each subindicator ranges from 0 to 6, with 0 the least restrictive and 6 the most restrictive. The overall indicator—the sum of the three subindicators, weighted at 5/12, 5/12, and 2/12—also ranges from 0 to 6.
