Seminario para optar al título de Ingeniero Comercial, Mención Economía / In this paper we examine the e ect of sexual orientation on labour
supply in two countries in Latin America. Using census data, a sample
of partnered individuals and a logit model we found that this e ect is
signi cant and depends on the individual's gender. While gay men are
up to 8.1% less likely to participate in the workforce compared to married
straight men, lesbians have a higher probability to participate in the
labour force compared to their unmarried and married straight counterparts,
varying from 17.3% up to 29.9% respectively. Trends between Chile
and Uruguay are similar but the magnitude of the e ect on participation
di ers signi cantly between countries.
