Description
The Comparative Welfare States (CWS) Dataset provides an array of welfare state, economic, institutional, political, policy, and demographic indicators at the country-level.
The Dataset was assembled in the framework of the project "Comparative Welfare States in the 21st Century" directed by David Brady, Evelyne Huber, and John D. Stephens.
The last 2016 version of CWS includes information on 22 countries from 1960-2014 on wage, salary, and income distribution data; social spending, revenue, and welfare state institutions data; labor force and labor institutions data; demographic data; macroeconomic data; product market regulation; and political variables.
