Labor incidents

This dataset is a resource for understanding labor-related issues in Cambodia. It documents various types of labor incidents, including worker protests, strikes, complaints, factory closures, and other significant employment-related changes. The dataset is intended to increase transparency and inform the public about labor conditions and disputes.

This labor incidents dataset has been collected since 2020 by the Solidarity Center Cambodia team through publicly available documents in collaboration with the Open Development Cambodia Organization (ODC) to complement the data collection and cleanup in the form of a Google spreadsheet. The location of the employer's enterprise or organization or of the site or establishment where a dispute, incident, or accident occurs was collected from Google Maps. Then it was converted into CSV format, and geospatial data was created to be uploaded to the website of the Open Development Cambodia Organization (ODC).

Positional Accuracy The dataset's accuracy is determined by the data collection and public availability of information. The point location of the incidents was determined from Google Maps based on the company's location or where the incident happened or a representative position of the incidents.
Attribute Accuracy There are no known issues with attribute accuracy.
Logical Consistency News article summaries are extracted from their sources, as guided by fair-use principles, and are copyrighted by their respective sources because the available sources are in English and some are in Khmer. Some official ​company names, nationalities are taken from official sources from the Ministry of Commerce for consistency.

The official name of the company was obtained from the MoC searching entry. This dataset was collected from 2020 to 2021, and will continue to be searched if there is publicly available information for updating the data.
Process Step This labor incident data was collected by Solidarity Center Cambodia team in collaboration with the Open Development Cambodia organization's Team to complement the data collection and purge data in the form of a Google spreadsheet, then convert the data into CSV format and create the geospatial data (point locations collected from google map mostly based on company locations) to upload to the Open Development Cambodia organization website in SQLITE format.
