International and EU-level studies point to significant levels of discrimination against LGBTI+ workers, and show that anti-discrimination legislation, where it exists, is not enforced effectively.

The project will also produce guidance on alternative mechanisms for protecting the socio-economic rights of LGBTI+ citizens through the active involvement of private sector employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to understand the situation of LGBTI+ people in the labour market and the factors that shape it, the project will develop a methodological framework for analysing their situation. Both qualitative and quantitative research will be carried out.
