The LGBTQIA+ labor market: reflections from an integrative review
Gender and Sexuality. Job. Labor market.
Introduction: Health currently comprises more than the absence of diseases, in this sense, it is necessary to take into account a number of other factors, such as: cultural, genetic, environmental, individual, and among others, social factors. Thus, the Social Determinants in Health (DSS) are, among many, some of these essential aspects to be considered in the health/disease process. The work, considered a DSS, must be guaranteed to each and every citizen regardless of race, ethnicity, color, sexual orientation and gender. However, in the population of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transvestite, transsexual, queer, intersex, asexual, and other gender and sexual identities (LGBTQIA+), an absence of these people in work environments, as well as exclusion, the prejudice, LGBTQIA+phobia, to those who get a job. Therefore, it is still necessary to understand how the LGBTQIA+ population is inserted in the labor market, as this, as well as other DSS, directly impact the lives of this population, which is still very vulnerable. Objective: To understand how the LGBTQIA+ population is inserted in the labor market. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review, carried out in the Scielo, Scopus, Web of Science and Pubmed databases. In the search, descriptors related to the two thematic areas involved in the review were used, they are: Gender and Sexuality; and Occupational Health. The descriptors were inserted in the search search key using the Boolean operators “OR” between descriptors of the same theme, and the Boolean operator “AND”, as the operator responsible for uniting the descriptors of the different thematic areas. Results: Based on the search strategy used, 111 articles were found in Scopus; 540 in Scielo; 1403 on the Web of Science; and 288 in Pubmed. After excluding the duplicate articles, 1980 articles remained. The reading of these has already started, and so far 445 abstracts, titles and keywords have been read, of which only 51 documents are eligible to remain in the next stage of reading the articles in full. Conclusions: The literature still brings a repetition of something observed in everyday life and empirically, as, for the most part, there is still a greater emphasis on the issue of sexuality in this population, with a focus on the discussion of HIV/AIDS and the population of gay men, thus neglecting the various other important aspects in the health/disease process, and the other people included in this population.Introduction: Health currently comprises more than the absence of diseases, in this sense, it is necessary to take into account a number of other factors, such as: cultural, genetic, environmental, individual, and among others, social factors.
