Sexual Orientation and Financial Well-Being in the United States

By Christopher S. Carpenter, Kabir Dasgupta, Zofsha Merchant & Alexander Plum We study the relationship between financial well-being and sexual orientation in the United States using Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking (SHED) data for 2019-2022.

Differences are found across a broad array of current and future financial well-being outcomes, including retirement...

LGBT Equality Index. The most LGBT-Friendly Countries in the World.

By Equaldex  The LGBT legal index measures the current legal status of 13 different issues ranging from the legal status of homosexuality, same-sex marriage, transgender rights, LGBT discrimination protections, LGBT censorship laws, and more. Each topic is weighted differently (for example, if same-sex marriage is illegal in a region, it would have a much bigger impact on the score than not allowing LGBT people to serve in the military).

By Caroline Medina & Lindsay Mahowald LGBTQI+ people and other “sexual and gender diverse”1 people experience structural and interpersonal discrimination that adversely affects their well-being and drives disparate outcomes across crucial areas of life.2 The current patchwork of nondiscrimination laws in states across the country and existing gaps in federal civil rights laws leave millions of LGBTQI+ people without protection from discrimination.3 The Biden-Harris administration, since the beginning of its tenure, has taken numerous actions across executive agencies to bolster nondiscrimination protections in...

LGBTQ+ people still face discrimination and economic inequality. These policies could help.

By Emma Ockerman LGBTQ+ people have long been subjected to economic inequality, including higher poverty rates, a greater likelihood of experiencing homelessness, and lower median earnings. Though economic policies that would broadly uplift low-income people and workers in the U.S. — including access to better-paying jobs, a higher minimum wage, paid family and medical leave, paid sick days, child-care support, and quality healthcare — would similarly benefit LGBTQ+ people who might lack such resources, experts and advocates say, LGBTQ+ people face the additional burden of...

Empresas mexicanas, con baja participación en inclusión para la comunidad LGBT+

Crear ambientes de trabajo inclusivos y diversos es una premisa cada vez más necesaria y aunque el mercado mexicano muestra avances en este tenor, la participación de las empresas nacionales sigue siendo menor frente a las de origen extranjero. Sólo 25 por ciento de las organizaciones voltean a ver a este grupo de talento, señala la consultora ManpowerGroup; en tanto, cerca de 100 mil personas de la comunidad están en búsqueda de empleo. “Las organizaciones que tomen en serio la alianza y la igualdad de oportunidades para los empleados...

1 de cada 3 peruanos no contrataría a una persona LGBT

Hoy se conmemora el Día Internacional del Orgullo LGBT. Al 2023, más de 1 millón 700.000 peruanos se identifican con una orientación sexual no heterosexual. La discriminación y el no reconocimiento de sus derechos fundamentales —vida, integridad, identidad, salud, trabajo y educación— son los principales problemas que deben enfrentar, considerando que no existe un marco normativo concreto que los respalde, según la Defensoría del Pueblo. Dichas taras sociales reveladas por la encuestadora repercuten en la economía. El 30% de los...
