Abstract

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.

双性人与家庭收入：来自智利全国代表性调查的证据

我们利用智利2022-2023年全国健康、性和性别调查的全国代表性数据，首次提供了性别特征收入差距的证据。我们的样本包括530名双性人受访者，占智利18-64岁人口的2.77%。我们发现了大量的家庭收入惩罚：平均而言，双性女性和双性男性个体所属的家庭收入分别比内性男性个体低28.1个对数点和27.9个对数点。即使在控制了人口特征、教育、地区、性取向和性别认同之后，这些差异仍然存在。

期刊介绍： Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
