Anchored on insights from 150+ queer respondents, our 2025 Workforce Pulse Report uncovers a reality that has never been documented at this scale:

​

• 26% unemployment among queer professionals (6× the national rate)

• 94% of advanced-degree holders preparing to leave the country

• 85% hold degrees, yet only 21% have full-time jobs

• ₦36 trillion ($31B) projected GDP loss over the next decade due to exclusion of queer professionals 

​

But this report doesn’t stop at diagnosis. It also presents practical, evidence-based solutions for:

• Employers seeking safer, more productive workplaces

• Policymakers addressing brain drain and youth unemployment

• Allies and international partners investing in inclusive growth
