Trans People’s Working Life Conditions in the Nordic Region


Trans people are a particularly vulnerable group and face various obstacles throughout their lives, not least in working life, where they experience worse conditions as a group than the majority population. Today, there is limited knowledge of the working life conditions for trans people and the underlying factors that affect their employment. The national studies that have been published have different areas of focus, but collectively they can provide a clearer picture of working life conditions for trans people in the Nordic countries.

This publication summarises the field of knowledge in the Nordic countries. By consolidating existing research, the publication helps to identify and, in some cases, fill knowledge gaps and thereby be of use to the Nordic countries. The knowledge review aims is to make trans people’s working life conditions visible to enable dialogue and identify needs and measures for improvement.
