Abstract

We investigate the impact of de jure protection of labour rights on the de facto security of human rights in an unbalanced panel of 60 developing economies considered over the period 1981–2011. With the exception of the right to industrial action and the regulation of dismissal procedures which exhibit negative impacts, we find that all other aspects of labour rights significantly improve state protection of human rights.
