Does the constitution explicitly guarantee at least one aspect of income security?

This variable examines whether the constitution guarantees income security generally, or specifically in at least one of ten scenarios (cases of need, inability to work, families, fatherhood, illness, work injury, motherhood, old age, disability, or unemployment).

No specific protection means that the constitution does not specifically guarantee income security. This does not mean that it denies it, only that it is not explicitly granted.

At least one aspect guaranteed means that the constitution guarantees income security in at least one of the cases described above.
