Avoiding the ‘pink pound’ blind spot

By Scottish Widows  While Pride celebrations carried on around the UK, the reality is that ‘pink finances’ remain in dire straits. It was a common trope not that long ago that this cohort of society was more likely to be more affluent than average. But the reality is very different.

Homofobia y población LGBTQ+ en mercados laborales

Por Adrián Rubli  La discriminación en contra de las personas LGBTQ+ vulnera nuestra dignidad e integridad. Por ello, quienes pertenecemos a esta comunidad ajustamos conscientemente nuestro comportamiento para protegernos de posibles agresiones. Considerar este hecho es, entonces, imprescindible para dimensionar los costos sociales de la discriminación. En un artículo publicado en la revista académica Labour Economics, Emilio Gutiérrez y yo evidenciamos que hay menos personas LGBTQ+ en los sectores laborales menos incluyentes en nuestro país. Aunque resulte difícil dar una interpretación causal, documentarlo es un paso importante para comprender...

The Wage Gap Among LGBTQ+ Workers in the United States

By HRC Foundation  In an HRC Foundation analysis of nearly 7,000 full-time LGBTQ+ workers, median earnings were about $900 weekly, about 90% of the $1,001 median weekly wage a typical worker earns in the United States, as reported recently by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Put another way, LGBTQ+ workers earn about 90 cents for every dollar that the typical worker earns.
