Project Description

Summary: This article reviews the growing literature on the economics of sexual orientation and gender identity, a field that did not exist thirty years ago. We summarize, evaluate, and synthesize the literature on LGBTQ+ people’s economic lives and livelihoods across key decision points in the life course: human capital investments, family formation and dissolution, and labor market activity. We identify common themes and patterns in the literature and outline important areas for further inquiry.
