學術活動

非常特別的是，此一視訊會議將透過 YouTube 直播，讓一般民眾有機會觀看。

身在台灣的我們，因為有 12 個小時的時差，不大可能同步觀看直播。但關注人口議題的我們，可藉此瞭解美國人口普查局是如何審慎地看待每十年一次的人口普查，以作為台灣的借鏡。

摘要：

In recent years, societal interest in sexual and gender minorities, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people, has increased across the world. However, extant research in Japan tends to use qualitative methods, which makes it difficult to estimate the size of LGBTQ populations and understand socioeconomic and health disadvantages experienced by these populations. In this talk, I present findings from our methodological studies to develop questions to measure sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) on population-based surveys in the Japanese context. I also discuss findings from a nationally representative survey and a community-based survey in Japan to illustrate the significance of including SOGI as routine demographic questions like age, race/ethnicity, and place of residence.
