Building the evidence base about economic, health and social inequities faced by LGBTQ2S-Plus individuals in Canada

Building the evidence base about economic, health and social inequities faced by LGBTQ2S-Plus individuals in Canada

As a group, gender and sexual minorities in Canada – including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and Two-spirit (LGBTQ2S+) self-identified people – are more likely to live in poverty, face greater barriers to employment (including stigma and discrimination), and earn less at work, despite often having higher levels of education than their cisgender, heterosexual counterparts.

These reports present findings from the project Building the evidence base about economic, health, and social inequities faced by LGBTQ2S+ individuals in Canada, funded by Women and Gender Equality Canada, and carried out by Social Research and Demonstration Corporation in collaboration with Dr. Sean Waite at the University of Western Ontario, Pride at Work Canada, and the Labour Market Information Council.
