Abstract

Abstract Tolerance of sexual minorities is presumed to matter, but its effects are under-studied. Because tolerance can affect both experiences at work and division of labor in the household, we study the relationship between tolerance and the time cohabiting gay men and lesbian women spend in paid work across the United States. In the average state, the increase in tolerance between 2003 and 2015 is associated with an increase in paid work of about 1 week per year among cohabiting gay men. Though not robustly statistically significant, the increase in tolerance is associated with a decrease in paid work among cohabiting lesbian women relative to heterosexual women.

宽容与同居男女的劳动力供给

对性少数群体的宽容被认为是重要的，但其影响尚未得到充分研究。由于宽容可以影响工作体验和家庭劳动分工，我们研究了宽容与美国各地同居男同性恋和女同性恋花在有偿工作上的时间之间的关系。平均而言，2003年至2015年间，美国各州对同性恋容忍度的提高与同居男同性恋者每年增加约一周的带薪工作有关。虽然在统计上没有明显的意义，但与异性恋女性相比，同居女同性恋女性的容忍度增加与有偿工作减少有关。

期刊介绍： Demographic variables such as fertility, mortality, migration and family structures notably respond to economic incentives and in turn affect the economic development of societies. Journal of Demographic Economics welcomes both empirical and theoretical papers on issues relevant to Demographic Economics with a preference for combining abstract economic or demographic models together with data to highlight major mechanisms. The journal was first published in 1929 as Bulletin de l’Institut des Sciences Economiques. It later became known as Louvain Economic Review, and continued till 2014 to publish under this title. In 2015, it moved to Cambridge University Press, increased its international character and changed its focus exclusively to demographic economics.
