摘要

In the first study using self-identified information on sexual orientation from a large, nationally representative survey from Brazil, I study the relationship between sexual orientation and a range of labor market outcomes. I find large wage premiums for lesbian women relative to heterosexual women and no wage premiums or penalties for gay men and bisexual individuals relative to their heterosexual counterparts. These results vary geographically, with sexual minority women earning significant premiums compared to heterosexual women in more conservative states. I also find that sexual minority men are less likely to be employed full time and more likely to be victims of work-related violence compared to their heterosexual counterparts.
