New report published by TASC – Think-tank for Action on Social Change, Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre, and EAPN Ireland: Pride and poverty: a study of the economic challenges in the LGBTQ+ community.
“This report looks at money and living costs for LGBTQ+ people in Ireland. It challenges the idea that LGBTQ+ communities are usually doing well financially. The study involved a review of past research, five in-depth interviews, and an anonymous online survey completed by 373 LGBTQ+ adults in Ireland. The findings show that many people are under real money pressure, many have little or nothing to fall back on, and stress and anxiety are very common. The report also shows that not everyone is affected in the same way. Some people face a higher risk of hardship, especially when LGBTQ+ identity overlaps with other factors such as disability or neurodivergence, being a migrant or from an ethnic minority, being younger, or living with a long-term health condition”.
