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...

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...
