Zindel, Zaza & Lisa De Vries (2024): Career sacrifice for an LGBTQ*-friendly work environment? a choice experiment to investigate the job preferences of LGBTQ* people. In: PLoS ONE, Jg. 19. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0296419

Abstract

"Recent research in economics and sociology demonstrates the existence of significant occupational segregation by sexual orientation and gender identity and differences in a range of labor market outcomes, such as hiring chances, earnings, and leadership positions. In this paper, we examine one possible cause of these differences that is associated with the disadvantaged position of sexual and gender minorities in the labor market: LGBTQ* individuals’ choices aimed at avoiding possible discrimination. This paper examines LGBTQ* people’s relative importance of income, time, promotion prospects, an LGBTQ*-friendly work environment, and diversity management in the decision for or against a job. Based on a discrete choice experiment conducted in a large online sample recruited through social media in Germany (N = 4,507), an LGBTQ*-friendly work climate accounted, on average, for 33.8 percent of respondents’ decisions which is comparable with the relative importance of income. Overtime, a diversity management on company level and promotion prospects are less important in the job decision process of LGBTQ* people. While the results show only small differences by sexual orientation, they show group-specific preferences by gender identity. An LGBTQ*-friendly work climate is more important for cisgender women of the LGBTQ* community and gender minorities than for cisgender men of the LGBTQ* community. In contrast, income is less important for gender minorities and cisgender women of the LGBTQ* community than for cisgender men of the LGBTQ* community." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract

"Vorbemerkung der Fragesteller: Queere Menschen gehen häufig nicht offen mit ihrer sexuellen und geschlechtlichen Orientierung bzw. Identität um. Gerade in der Arbeitswelt vermeiden einige ein „Outing“, um Diskriminierungen zu vermeiden (...) Weiterhin zeigt eine Studie der Antidiskriminierungsstelle des Bundes (...), dass queere Menschen in der Arbeitswelt häufig von verschiedensten Formen der Diskriminierung betroffen sind. (...) Bislang kaum öffentlich beachtet ist der Queer Pay Gap, auch Sexuality Pay Gap oder Gay Pay Gap genannt. Queere Menschen verdienen weniger als nichtqueere Menschen. Dies betrifft besonders schwule und bisexuelle Männer und noch stärker transgeschlechtliche Menschen (..) Gerade in größeren Unternehmen gibt es verstärkt die Erkenntnis, dass der Schutz vor Diskriminierung Teil der Unternehmenskultur sein sollte. (...)"

Abstract

"We study basic information treatments regarding sexual orientation using randomized experiments in three countries with strong and widespread anti-gay attitudes: Serbia, Turkey, and Ukraine. Participants who received information about the economic costs to society of sexual orientation discrimination were significantly more likely than those in a control group to support equal employment opportunities based on sexual orientation. Information that the World Health Organization (WHO) does not regard homosexuality as a mental illness increased social acceptance of sexual minorities, but only for those who reported trust in the WHO. Our results have important implications for policymakers aiming to expand the rights of lesbian, gay, and bisexual people worldwide."

Abstract

"Despite sustained focus in recent years on understanding the experiences of underrepresented groups in construction, there has been a paucity of work that has explored the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) workers. Research has shown homophobia is commonplace in the construction industry and very few gay employees feel able to be open about their sexuality. Using qualitative data garnered from 16 in-depth interviews and a focus group with LGBT workers in the UK construction sector, this article analyses how participants negotiate identities at work and navigate their careers. Drawing on the concept of heteronormativity we consider how organisational contexts frame, constrict and liberate identities in the workplace. Significantly, our findings show that despite enduring heteronormative structures, work was described by participants as a ‘safe space’. By demonstrating how workers assess, move between and create ‘safe spaces’, this article contributes novel insights into the challenging of heteronormativity in heteronormative work contexts."

Abstract

"There remains a significant knowledge gap in HRM regarding the inclusion of transgender (henceforth ‘trans’) workers. We examine and apply the emerging concept of allyship (a specific form of active support and advocacy for minority groups) to trans workers, and in doing so we advance a new model of allyship intentions and perceptions. We test our model across two studies. The first extends theorising on perceived diversity and inclusion climate (PDIC) and social dominance orientation (SDO) to explain how non-trans workers can exhibit trans allyship intentions. When non-trans workers were presented with a scenario of a co-worker disclosing their trans identity, we find that SDO is negatively related with allyship intentions, yet PDIC moderates this relationship, such that the negative impact of SDO is buffered by the positive influence of PDIC. The second study builds upon theorising on psychological safety and authenticity to explain how perceived allyship facilitates the wellbeing of trans workers. We find, in a survey of trans workers, that perceived allyship is positively associated with psychological safety and authenticity at work; and is indirectly related to work engagement via the former and to life satisfaction via the latter. We provide critical insights into how allyship can be advanced to understand and support trans inclusion." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Hank, Karsten, Franz J. Neyer & Carolin Thönnissen (2023): Disparities in Subjective Well-being by Sexual Orientation: Comparing Cohorts from pairfam’s (2008-09) and FReDA’s (2021) Baseline Waves. In: Comparative Population Studies, Jg. 48. DOI:10.12765/cpos-2023-09

Abstract

"Significant expansion of legal rights and recognition of sexual minority populations triggered expectations that structural stigma, sexual minority stress and, consequently, previously well-documented disadvantages in health and well-being may decline over time. The empirical evidence on this issue is, however, still sparse and inconclusive. We contribute to this research by comparing baseline data from the German Family Panel (pairfam; 2008-09) and the German Family Demography Panel Study (FReDA; 2021). These data allow us to assess disparities in subjective well-being by sexual orientation and potential changes therein after legalisation of same-sex marriage in Germany in two adult cohorts interviewed more than a decade apart. We focus on two specific outcomes, namely life satisfaction and self-rated health. Two main findings emerged from our analysis: First, minority sexual orientation is associated with significantly lower subjective well-being, specifically lower life satisfaction. Second, there are no statistically significant changes in the sexual orientation-health nexus between cohorts. Our study, thus, neither lends support to “optimistic” expectations regarding the contribution of (further) reductions in institutional discrimination and structural stigma to (further) reductions in remaining disadvantages, nor does it lend support to “pessimistic” expectations suggesting that younger cohorts of sexual minority adults may experience an even larger gap in health and well-being than previous cohorts. We propose that the stability of sexual minorities’ disadvantages in subjective well-being during the first two decades of the 21st century in Germany be interpreted as the result of two opposing forces working in parallel: Reduced institutional discrimination and increased exposure to continued stigma. The legal recognition of same-sex relationships appears to be a necessary but not sufficient condition for the acceptance of sexual minorities. Remaining disparities by sexual orientation will thus not simply disappear when institutional discrimination of sexual minorities is eliminated. Currently, we may therefore find ourselves in a “transitory period” whose further evolution is difficult to predict. FReDA – with its evolving longitudinal dimension and the inclusion of self-reported measures of respondents’ sexual orientation – will constitute a powerful resource for future investigations of inequalities in yet understudied but increasingly visible sexual minority populations."

Abstract

"Knapp 890.000 junge Menschen haben im Jahr 2021 in Deutschland eine Ausbildung begonnen, sowohl im Übergangssektor (228.140) als auch im Berufsschulsystem (221.789) oder dualen System (437.761) (BMBF 2022). Nachdem sich 11,2% der 14- bis 29-Jährigen in Deutschland als LSBT* bezeichnen (Dalia Reserach 2017), kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass sich eine nicht geringe Anzahl von Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen unter den neuen Auszubildenden befindet, die nicht heterosexuell bzw. cisgeschlechtlich sind. Ausgehend von einer Studie des Deutschen Jugendinstitutes zur Situation von queeren Jugendlichen in der beruflichen Bildung gibt der folgende Artikel einen Überblick über ihre Erfahrungen und stellt u.a. aus den Ergebnissen abgeleitete Handlungsmöglichkeiten vor."

Abstract

"We use a nationally-representative dataset that includes a large sample of sexual-orientation minorities to investigate gender bias and sexual-orientation discrimination in career progression. Our results are consistent with persistent gender bias findings and non-heterosexual identity-based employment discrimination. Our findings are consistent with previous work noting that protective legislation for gay and lesbian sexual identities have increased the cost of discrimination and contribute to the improved socioeconomic status of a substantial number of people in these minority groups. However, these gains have not been shared with other minority groups in the LGB+ community, which still have some of the lowest probabilities of holding managerial jobs, and higher probabilities of appearing in lower socioeconomic classes."

Mills, Suzanne & Benjamin Owens (2023): Customer Abuse and Aggression as Labour Control Among LGBT Workers in Low-Wage Services. In: Work, Employment and Society, Jg. 37, H. 3, S. 776-793. DOI:10.1177/09500170211045843

Abstract

"This study examines the relation between customer abuse and aggression, the gender and sexual expression of workers, and labour control in low-wage services. In-depth interviews with 30 lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)1 low-wage service sector workers reveal how customer abuse and aggression works in consort with management strategies to reproduce cis- and heteronormativity. Customer abuse and aggression disciplined worker expressions of non-normative gender and sexual identities, leading to concealment and self-policing. Management was complicit in this dynamic, placing profitability and customer satisfaction over the safety of LGBT workers, only intervening in instances of customer abuse and aggression when it had a limited economic impact. It is posited that customer abuse and aggression is not only a response to unmet expectations emanating from the labour process but is also a mechanism of labour control that disciplines worker behaviour and aesthetics, directly and indirectly, by influencing management prerogatives."

Abstract

"In recent years, the attention to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people' rights from institutions, society and scientific bodies has clearly progressed. Although equal opportunities in employment are promoted within European countries and by the EU legislation, there are still evident discriminations in Europe. Many LGBTI people still face bullying and anti-LGBTI discrimination in the workplace and job market. Considerably more progress must be made before every LGBTI person feels accepted and comfortable for who they are in the workplace. Importantly, views on equal opportunities in employment are characterised by spatial heterogeneity at a sub-national level. Therefore, it is necessary to disaggregate estimates of relevant indicators, at least, at a regional level. This is crucial to identify the regions requiring more attention by policy makers. However, large-scale sample surveys are not designed to produce precise and accurate sub-national estimates. Small area estimation methods offer powerful tools in this context. Here, we produce regional estimates of three indicators measuring views of discrimination in employment of people from LGBTI communities in Europe. The analyses are based on the Eurobarometer 91.4 2019. Our empirical evidence shows that the estimates produced by small area estimation are reliable, giving important information to policy makers."

Mourelatos, Evangelos (2023): Does Mood affect Sexual and Gender Discrimination in Hiring Choices? Evidence from Online Experiments. In: Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics, Jg. 106. DOI:10.1016/j.socec.2023.102069

Abstract

"We explore whether there is a link between mood and hiring decisions. This research examines how positive mood affects the discrimination faced by homosexual and female job candidates compared to heterosexual and male ones. We randomly assign respondents to one of two mood-inducing videos (positive and neutral), and we allow subjects to make a series of hiring choices prior and immediately after watching the mood-inducing video. Our experiment being conducted in the online labor platform Amazon Mechanical Turk, allows us to track the complete hiring process and monitor employers’ behavior within and without our treatment context. Constructing pairs of curriculum vitae, distinguished only by the sexual orientation or the gender of the applicants in each case, leads to the observation that women and gay men faced a significantly lower chance of getting hired. We also find that female employers proposed higher levels of discrimination only in the case of female applicants. Our positive mood manipulation leads to a decrease of discrimination levels. Thus, there is substantial experimental evidence to suggest that discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender also exists in online labor markets. An additional experiment with negative mood manipulation, also, gives evidence for the opposite direction of the effects, contributing to a broader picture of the relationship between mood and discrimination behavior. Contributions to the literature on hiring discrimination, mood research and the online economy are discussed." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © 2023 Elsevier) ((en))

Oreffice, Sonia & Dario Sansone (2023): Commuting to work and gender norms by sexual orientation. In: Labour Economics, Jg. 85. DOI:10.1016/j.labeco.2023.102451

Abstract

"We assess the role of gender-conforming social norms in household decision-making and gender inequalities in the labor market with a parsimonious household model that endogenizes commuting time. Using the American Community Survey 2008-2019, we test the model predictions and find that women in same-sex couples have a longer commute to work than working women in different-sex couples, whereas the commute to work of men in same-sex couples is shorter than the one of working men in different-sex couples, even after controlling for demographic characteristics, partner's characteristics, location and urbanicity, fertility, marital status, industry and occupation. These differences among men and women amount to a sizable portion of the gender commuting gap estimated in the literature, and are particularly stark among married couples with children. Within-couple gaps in commuting time are also significantly smaller in same-sex couples, and labor supply disparities mimic the commuting ones. According to our model, these differences are interpreted as gender-conforming social norms leading women in different-sex couples into jobs with a shorter commute and fewer hours worked while their male partners or spouses hold jobs with a longer commute and more hours worked, thus reinforcing gender inequalities."

Abstract

"Although European Union legal frameworks tend to conceive of sex and gender in binary terms, a growing number of countries in Europe and around the world have been increasingly allowing for third gender markers and non-binary possibilities in identity documents, passports, and public registries, of which the X marker in the sex or gender field has become the most common. However, initiatives like the X, which may initially signal trans-friendliness, must be considered alongside heightened border surveillance. As more and more European countries begin to follow this trend of expanding possibilities for registering (non-binary) gender (e.g. Malta, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands), we look here to some illustrative examples (e.g. Nepal, Canada, Pakistan) that have been at the forefront of non-binary legal recognition to interrogate the complications and conundrums that these developments may provoke in European contexts."

Abstract

"Sexual minority immigrant men have poor economic wellbeing compared to heterosexuals and the native-born. This may be because they are marginalised as both sexual minorities and immigrants, which can isolate them from the networks, resources, and support offered by neighbourhood ties. Using data from the 2016 Canadian census, I investigate whether neighbourhood composition mediates the disparities in employment status and wages between immigrant men in same-sex couples and those who are Canadian-born and/or different-sex-coupled. Immigrant men in same-sex couples on average live in neighbourhoods that are more economically disadvantaged than Canadian-borns, less populated with coethnics than immigrants in different-sex couples, and more populated with other same-sex couples in general. Neighbourhoods provide a positive mediating effect (i.e. a ‘protective’ effect) for immigrants in same-sex couples compared to immigrants in different-sex couples, but largely do not affect the economic gaps between them and Canadian-borns."

Abstract

"This paper assesses labor market disparities against sexual minorities. My empirical strategy allows schooling, employment, and income to be endogenously determined relying on the identification of unobserved heterogeneity (skills and sexual orientation). I find that disparities are more prevalent at the employment margin than at the earnings margin. Sexual minorities are 10–20 percentage points less likely to be employed than comparable heterosexual adults. The results suggest that selection into employment contributes to the elimination of the observed income gaps among the employed as the average sexual-minority worker is more skilled than their heterosexual counterpart."

Abstract

"Many young adults change their career plans after spending some time in the labor force, and those who hold marginalized identities change their plans in unique ways as they respond to unfair treatments in workplaces. Past research on this topic focused on (cisgender) women and people of color, and little is known about how LGBTQ people change their career plans. Furthermore, many LGBTQ youth today develop optimistic views that their sexual and gender identities will not undermine their career opportunities, but the existing literature provides limited information about whether they maintain such views after their transition to the labor force and how they change their career plans if their perceptions of career disadvantages change. To fill these gaps in the literature, the authors analyzed longitudinal data from in-depth interviews with 37 LGBTQ young adults, who were followed over 2 to 10 years at 2-year intervals. The data showed that young LGBTQ workers’ career plan changes were intertwined with their sexual and gender identities. For example, some participants decided to move to more LGBTQ-friendly careers after experiencing workplace harassment and heteronormativity and cisnormativity, and those who had entered careers that allowed them to integrate their LGBTQ identities into work decided to leave the careers because of emotional burnout. Overall, the results suggest that LGBTQ people’s career plan adjustments to identity-related challenges at work operate as a worker-level mechanism that contributes to labor market segregation and financial disparities between LGBTQ and straight, cisgender workers."

Abstract

"This report is the first country review undertaken as part of the OECD work on LGBTI+ inclusion. It explores legal and policy progress towards LGBTI+ equality in Germany at both the national and subnational levels, and identifies good practices. The report first investigates the life situation of LGBTI+ Germans by presenting the most up-to-date data on the share of Germans who self-identify as LGBTI+, evaluating the extent to which LGBTI+ Germans face discrimination and violence, and assessing how this population fares in terms of well-being, mental and physical health. The report then examines whether laws critical to achieving LGBTI+ equality have been passed and how LGBTI+ equality in Germany could be further improved through legislation. Finally, beyond laws, the report focuses on policy achievements towards LGBTI+ equality, by distinguishing between remedial policies, aimed at enforcing antidiscrimination and anti-violence laws, and preventive policies, aimed at fostering a culture of equal treatment of LGBTI+ individuals at school, in the workplace, and in healthcare."

Abstract

"Using a US nationally representative sample and a double list experiment designed to elicit views free from social desirability bias, we find that anti-transgender labor market attitudes are significantly underreported. After correcting for this concealment, we report that 73 percent of people would be comfortable with a transgender manager and 74 percent support employment non-discrimination protection for transgender people. We also show that respondents severely underestimate the population level of support for transgender individuals in the workplace, and we find that labor market support for transgender people is significantly lower than support for gay, lesbian, and bisexual people. Our results provide timely evidence on workplace-related views toward transgender people and help us better understand employment discrimination against them." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract

"Diversity and inclusion in science improves the field for all, but cisheteronormative cultures can make academic science departments difficult for LGBTQ2S+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, 2-Spirit1, and other identities)individuals to navigate. Evidence suggests that this cisheteronormativity can contribute to a “leaking” science pipeline, where such individuals are more likely to seek out paths outside of science and academia. Studies also show that postdoctoral scholars have low life satisfaction and trouble finding academic jobs, which could worsen this “leak”. However, there is little Canadian data on this topic, and no data on LGBTQ2S+ postdocs. This qualitative study explored the values, beliefs, and experiences of 14 Canadian LGBTQ2S+ postdocs in science. Semi-structured interviews were conducted about coming out as LGBTQ2S+ in science, experiences of mentorship, and their beliefs on staying within science and academia. Interview data was analyzed thematically from a poststructural perspective. The main themes that emerged were: 1) feeling supported and accepted, 2) experiencing cisheteronormativity and discrimination, and 3) the leaking academic pipeline. While some participants experienced their science departments as supportive, many also discussed heteronormativity, cisnormativity, and sexism, which was consistent with previous literature. Many participants considered leaving academia due to lack of job security, competitive job market, and work-life balance issues." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
