Sexual Orientation, the Life Course, and Labor Markets: A View from Canada
摘要
Population data provide the backbone to growing research on the labor market outcomes of LGBTQ+ people in Canada. The availability of population data mirrors broad legal and social change surrounding sexuality towards the recognition of LGBTQ+ people and identities. In this chapter, we discuss legal changes and LGBTQ+ rights in Canada, how these rights facilitated data collection on same-sex couples and sexual and gender minorities, and then provide an overview of some main findings of labor market research drawn from these data.
