Abstract
LGBTQ+ individuals may face particular labor market challenges concerning disclosure of their identity and the prevalence of homophobia. Employing an online survey in Mexico with two elicitation methods, we investigate the size of the LGBTQ+ population and homophobic sentiment across various subgroups. We find that around 5%–13% of respondents self-identify as LGBTQ+, with some variation by age and job sectors. Homophobic sentiment is more prevalent when measured indirectly and is higher among males, older and less educated workers, and in less traditional sectors. Lastly, we uncover a negative correlation between homophobia and LGBTQ+ presence in labor markets, suggesting a need for policies to address these disparities.
