Abstract:

The transgender population faces several barriers to their ion in the labor market, with impact on their health. In this study we analyzed the proportion and associated factors with their ion in the formal labor market. This cross-sectional study was conducted in seven municipalities of the state of São Paulo, between 2014 and 2015. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) of the association between formal ion and ed characteristics. We included 672 individuals, 82.3% working, 13.1% not employed and 4.6% out of the labor market. Among those working, only 16.7% were in the formal labor market. Factors independently associated with formal employment were: gender identity trans man, 12 years or more of schooling, being under follow-up to the gender transition procedures at health services, having private health insurance and never having been arrested in life. Our results reveal part of the obstacles overcome by a small portion of the transgender population to enter the labor market, and point to the need for public policies specifically designed for the transgender population aiming to reduce school dropout and expand access to comprehensive health care, thereby reducing their vulnerability.
