contents A study on the employment and wage outcomes of persons living with a same-sex partner Lena Hassani-Nezhad (Author) Sévane Ananian (Author) Nick Drydakis (Author) This study examines the labour market disparities faced by same-sex couples across nine countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, France, Mexico, Thailand, the United States of Americaand the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela), extending the focus of previous studies by lookingbeyond developed countries. Consistent with the existing literature, the findings presented hereshow that, in many countries, men in same-sex couples participate in the labour market to alesser extent, experience higher unemployment rates and receive lower wages than comparablemen in opposite-sex couples. Conversely, women in same-sex couples are more likely to be employed than comparable heterosexual women and to enjoy a wage premium in some countries.Finally, it makes the case for further research, especially in developing countries.
