"This Special Issue aims to enrich the discussion on individual employment re-regulation by introducing the concept of legal segmentation from a global perspective and distinguishing between the standard-setting, privileging and equalizing functions of employment law. This introductory article draws on a new database created by the authors that allows countries worldwide to be clustered into types of legal segmentation. It presents the authors' methodology and initial findings, which are contrasted with the regional and thematic studies in this Special Issue. Together, these contributions provide policy proposals to support the creation and enforcement of inclusive rules protecting all working people worldwide."
