“…In addition, average household incomes are lower among same-sex male cohabiting couples than among married couples but higher than among opposite-sex cohabiting couples (Carpenter, 2004). Cohabiting gay men (and cohabiting heterosexual men) appear to more likely to work part-time and less likely to work full-time than married men (Tebaldi and Elmslie, 2006).…”

It is well-known that married men earn more than comparable single men, with typical estimates of the male marriage premium in the range of 10 to 20 percent. Some research also finds that cohabiting men earn more than men not living with a female partner. This study uses data from the General Social Survey and the National Health and Social Life Survey to examine whether a similar premium accrues to gay men who live with a male partner and whether cohabiting gay men have different observable characteristics than noncohabiting gay men. Controlling for observable characteristics, cohabiting gay men do not earn significantly more than other gay men or more than unmarried heterosexual men. Cohabiting heterosexual men also do not earn more than non-cohabiting heterosexual men.JEL Classification: J12, J16

“…Accordingly, as residents in larger cities have generally more liberal attitudes toward homosexuality (Ahmed et al, 2013), gay men and lesbians living in metropolitan areas could exhibit better labor market outcomes than those living in nonmetropolitan areas. Tebaldi and Elmslie (2006) and Klawitter and Flatt (1998) postulate that antidiscriminatory legislation that forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation will be more likely enacted in areas with positive social attitudes toward lesbians and gay men. Simultaneously, such legislation may have positive effects on the social attitudes toward gay people.…”

Access to the labour market for gays and lesbians: Research review

This article reviews findings of scientific studies looking into the bias that gay men and lesbians face when accessing the labor market. Studies in this topic were scarce before year 2000, but a considerable body of literature appeared in the Western countries in the recent years. When summed up, the findings provide robust evidence that lesbians and gay men face negative bias when accessing employment. The magnitude of the bias varies considerably across contexts. Different labor market outcomes of gay men and lesbians are also partially caused by differences in household specialization between different-sex and same-sex households. Future research needs to address the contextual differences in bias against gay men and lesbians.

ResumoEste trabalho analisa o diferencial de salários no Brasil a partir da orientação sexual com base no Censo 2010. Não foram observados padrões sistemáticos nas estimações tanto em homens como em mulheres, mas diferenças estatisticamente significativas a favor dos casais do mesmo sexo. Destaca-se que os casais gays ganham, em média, 25,11% a mais que os casais heterossexuais, mantendo fixas suas condições de ocupação e ramos de atividade nas estimativas de MQO. No que tange às mulheres, casais de lésbicas ganham, em média, 13,84% a mais nos modelos de correção de seletividade amostral com controle de todas as características observadas.Palavras-chave: Novos Arranjos Familiares; Orientação Sexual; Censo; Diferencial de Salários. AbstractThis paper aims to analyze the wage gap according to sexual orientation by making use of the new methodology of family arrangement identification from the Brazilian Census of 2010. No systematic patterns were found on men and women regressions. However, statistically significant differences in favor of homosexuals were found on both models. It should be mentioned that gay couples earn on average 25.11% more than heterosexual couples, after controlling for occupational and the economic sector. Regarding women, lesbian couples earn on average 13.84% more than their heterosexual counterparts after controlling for the observed characteristics in a sample selection correction model.
