Labour relations data for Spain in the years 1800, 1900, and 2000, derived from the Global Collaboratory on the History of Labour Relations project. The dataset was created by José-Miguel Lana-Berasain and updated in October 2020 by Daan Jansen (IISH), building on earlier work by Joris Kok (IISH). This version includes only records containing labour relations, with data cleaning, separation of male and female individuals, and removal of duplicate records.
