| Summary: | This paper uses the first round of
the 2020 COVID-19 Disparities Survey to examine the impacts
of the COVID-19 pandemic on the income and mental well-being
of cismen, ciswomen, transgender, and non-binary
individuals. The analysis shows that the pandemic led to
high job and income loss expectations among transgender and
non-binary individuals. The pandemic has also led to a
disproportionate reported decrease in consumption for
transgender and non-binary people compared to cismen,
potentially related to a high rate of anxiety, loneliness,
and depression observed in the group. The results highlight
that the disproportionate economic impacts resulting from
the COVID-19 pandemic might cause further declines in the
economic conditions of transgender and non-binary people,
thus exacerbating existing vulnerabilities in the community. |
