Indentification Of The Factors Influencing The Job Integration Of Transgender People. Exploring The Case Of Barcelona

Although the trans population has a high degree of labor market exclusion, there are no studies on this topic in the Spanish context. This exploratory study aims to identify the factors that place transgender people in situations of vulnerability in relation to the labor market and establish subgroups that are in a more vulnerable situation. From interviews with key informants and transgender people, we identify nine factors (gender, visibility, time, origin and legal status, socioeconomic status, family support, educational level, sex work and health) that are key to understand the differences within the transgender population regarding work placement. Also we establish three subgroups that are at greater risk of social exclusion.
