About
This data, derived from the Trans Rights Indicator Project (TRIP), offers critical insight into the legal status and protection of transgender people across 173 countries. It features 14 detailed indicators covering crucial legal areas, including direct and indirect criminalisation, anti-discrimination laws, and provisions for legal gender recognition (LGR). The resource allows for sophisticated analysis of global trends in transgender rights from 2000 to 2021 and permits researchers to systematically compare these developments against the legal protections afforded to sexual orientation minorities. The development of this dataset addresses existing limitations in data availability for trans-specific questions.
Columns
The dataset contains 51 variables detailing country-year observations. Key columns include:
- country_name: The standard name of the country.
- year: The observation year, spanning 2000 through 2021.
- trip_score: An aggregate score reflecting the level of transgender rights protection within a given country and year (score range 0-12).
- lgb_score: An index reflecting the legal protections afforded based on sexual orientation.
- v2x_regime: Classification of the country's government type (e.g., Electoral Democracy, Electoral Autocracy).
- dir_crim: Binary indicator showing the presence of direct criminalisation laws targeting transgender people.
- gmc: Indicator for the legal possibility of obtaining gender marker change.
- adp_employment: Indicator for anti-discrimination protection specifically related to employment.
- wb_gdppc: World Bank Gross Domestic Product per capita (used as an economic context variable).
Distribution
The data is delivered in a CSV file format, named
replication.csv, with a size of approximately 1.12 MB. The data structure is longitudinal, designed for tracking legal and political changes over time. It typically includes records for 173 countries observed annually, leading to over 3,900 country-year observations.Usage
The data is ideal for comparative political science research and studies focusing on global social issues. Appropriate applications include mapping the progression of legal rights for transgender people worldwide, evaluating the institutional factors that influence the advancement of trans rights, and conducting quantitative analysis that compares the trajectory of protections for sexual orientation versus gender identity minorities.
