Die Arbeitsmarktsituation von LGBTQI-Personen
In den vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnten hat die gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz von LGBTQI-Personen (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, inter) deutlich zugenommen. Auch die rechtliche Gleichstellung am Arbeitsmarkt wurde durch das Allgemeine Gleichbehandlungsgesetz (2006) gestärkt. Dennoch erfahren LGBTQI-Personen im Arbeitsleben Diskriminierung sowie Nachteile bei Einkommen und Bildungsrendite.
In diesem Dossier finden Sie eine Zusammenstellung wissenschaftlicher Publikationen zur Arbeitsmarktsituation von LGBTQI-Personen in Deutschland und im Ausland.

Educational attainment and the lesbian wage premium (2008)
Daneshvary, Nasser; Waddoups, C. Jeffrey; Wimmer, Bradley S.;Zitatform
Daneshvary, Nasser, C. Jeffrey Waddoups & Bradley S. Wimmer (2008): Educational attainment and the lesbian wage premium. In: Journal of labor research, Jg. 29, H. 4, S. 365-379. DOI:10.1007/s12122-007-9024-z
Abstract
"This paper provides insight into the wage gap between lesbians and heterosexual women. Using data from the 2000 Decennial Census, we find a lesbian premium that equals approximately 10% for women without a bachelor's degree, and is nearly non-existent for women with higher levels of education. These findings are consistent with proposition that the gap between lesbians' and heterosexual women's commitment to the labor market narrows at higher levels of education. We also find that controls for industry and occupation exert only a small effect on the gap between lesbian and heterosexual women's wages." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Gay glass ceilings (2006)
Frank, Jeff;Zitatform
Frank, Jeff (2006): Gay glass ceilings. In: Economica, Jg. 73, H. 291, S. 485-508. DOI:10.1111/j.1468-0335.2006.00516.x
Abstract
"The UK Association of University Teachers conducted a 2000/01 survey of staff in six British universities to determine the experience of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) employees holding academic and non-academic appointments. We analyse the salaries and ranks held by LGB individuals, guided by a new model of the interaction of 'tastes for discrimination' and the decision to 'come out'. We find no evidence that LGB staff suffer any disadvantage in salaries relative to heterosexuals. We do find evidence that gay/bisexual men suffer from glass ceilings comparable to those faced by heterosexual women." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Effects of sexual preferences on earnings in the Netherlands (2004)
Plug, Erik; Berkhout, Peter;Zitatform
Plug, Erik & Peter Berkhout (2004): Effects of sexual preferences on earnings in the Netherlands. In: Journal of population economics, Jg. 17, H. 1, S. 117-131.
Abstract
"A small literature suggests that bisexual and homosexual workers earn less than their heterosexual fellow workers and that a discriminating labor market is partly to blame. In this paper we examine whether sexual preferences affect earnings in the beginning of working careers in the Netherlands. We find (i) that young and highly educated gay male workers earn about 3 percent less than heterosexual men; (ii) that similarly qualified lesbian workers earn about 4 percent more than their heterosexual female coworkers; (iii) that in terms of earnings, bisexual workers are more comparable to heterosexual workers; and (iv) that among homosexual workers the gender gap is not observed. From this we conclude that the Dutch labor market does not discriminate on the basis of both sexual orientation and gender in entry level jobs." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Sexual orientation discrimination in hiring (2003)
Zitatform
Weichselbaumer, Doris (2003): Sexual orientation discrimination in hiring. In: Labour economics, Jg. 10, H. 6, S. 629-642. DOI:10.1016/S0927-5371(03)00074-5
Abstract
"Little research has been done to examine discrimination against gays and lesbians in the labor market. Wage regressions have documented lower incomes for gays but repeatedly showed higher incomes for lesbians. The results concerning lesbian women are striking but can be reconciled with the existence of labor market discrimination, however. Problems like sample selection and unobserved heterogeneity - in particular, lesbians' violation of stereotypical female gender roles - might be responsible for their higher earnings. To investigate whether discrimination against lesbians actually does exist, a labor market experiment is conducted. Job applications of candidates, who are equivalent in their human capital but differ in their sexual orientation, are sent out in response to job advertisements. Furthermore, to test whether increased masculinity affects labor market outcomes, the applicants differ in their perceived gender identity. While results show a strong negative effect for lesbian orientation, gender identity does not have a significant overall impact on hiring chances." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
