Experiencing and reporting discrimination at work against LGB people 19

Abstract

This article shows the results that emerged from the Istat-Unar “Survey on Labour Discrimination against LGBT+ people” addressed to people in Civil Union or formerly in union) 2020/2021” with reference to several adopted subjective and more "objective" indicators of workplace discrimination. Logit regression models study the probability of experiencing discrimination events and reporting them as a function of some variables involving, for example, socio-demographic aspects, context, coming out, support by family and friends, perception of discrimination, and socio-economic status. This article provides a contribution on both, the methodological side of measuring discrimination, and the substantive side of knowledge about a complex and multidimensional phenomenon.
