Sisällön kuvaus

The dataset contains the responses to the open-ended questions in Sexual Minorities at Work 2003 study (FSD2796). This separate dataset has been created because it was not possible to fully include the responses in the quantitative dataset. The study explored the work-related circumstances and experiences of sexual minorities in Finland. The study was part of the EQUAL Initiative - funded by the European Social Fund and Ministry of Employment, Finland - whose aim was to chart and improve the labour market position of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and trans people.

Only the responses of the 490 respondents who filled in the online questionnaire were included. 11 respondents responded in Swedish. The respondents were people who were working or had worked in Finland and who felt they belonged to a sexual minority. Themes of the open-ended questions included effects of sexual orientation on the education and career choices, openness towards sexual minorities at the workplace, discrimination, and membership of a professional association.

The open-ended responses can be connected to the responses in the quantitative data by using the respondent number.

This qualitative dataset is only available in Finnish (and partially in Swedish).

The sample was collected using the so-called snowball sampling. Questionnaires and info leaflets about the study were distributed in events aimed at sexual and gender minorities. People were also requested to notify their acquaintances about the study. The study was widely advertised on email lists and in the magazines and papers of professional associations and those directed at sexual and gender minorities.

Snowball sampling does not produce a fully representative sample of the target population, but as the the target population is small, it was feasible as a sampling method.

The data comprise the open-ended responses of 490 respondents who responded to the online survey. Both Finnish and Swedish questionnaires were available and 11 responses were submitted in Swedish.
