Abstract:

The 2022 Demographic Census brought to light the debate about the inclusion of variables that would allow reaching sexual minorities with low or no coverage in official population surveys in Brazil. The agenda is justified considering that the LGBTI+ population demands statistical visibility and demands public policies to guarantee their rights. This article analyzes the process of elaboration and inclusion of the sexual orientation and gender identity variables in the IBGE\'s official national household surveys. To this end, a mapping of international experiences was carried out, which showed that this investigation was initially applied mainly in health surveys through self-declaration and the use of the “2-step” method to identify the trans population. Furthermore, in the light of the existing bibliography, the planning stages, challenges, and future perspectives for investigating the topic are presented. With this, we hope to contribute to an informed debate, given the current invisibility of the LGBTI+ population in official population databases.
