Intersex people and household income: Evidence from a nationally representative survey in Chile
利用智利2022-2023年全国调查数据,首次发现间性人(占成年人口2.77%)的家庭收入显著低于顺性别男性,平均低约28个百分点,且控制人口特征后差异仍存在。
We provide the first evidence on income disparities by sex characteristics using nationally representative data from Chile’s 2022–2023 National Survey on Health, Sexuality, and Gender. Our sample includes 530 intersex respondents, representing 2.77 % of Chile’s population aged 18–64 years. We find substantial household income penalties: on average, intersex female and intersex male individuals belong to households with incomes that are 28.1 log points and 27.9 log points lower than those of endosex male individuals, respectively. These disparities persist even after demographic characteristics, education, region, sexual orientation, and gender identity are controlled for.
