Design/methodology/approach The main hypothesis is that lesbi…
Do gays and lesbians experience more frequent and longer unemployment
Purpose. The purpose of this study is to compare the probability of unemployment and duration of joblessness between partnered gays, lesbians and their straight peers in the EU. Design/methodology/approach. Existence of potential differences in the outcomes is tested by multilevel logistic regression model (probability of unemployment) and multilevel linear regression model (length of joblessness) using the EU Labour Force Survey data from 2008 t…
Access to the labour market for gays and lesbians
This article reviews findings of scientific studies looking into the bias that gay men and lesbians face when accessing the labor market.
