Description

Quantifying the Economic Causes and Costs of Family and Domestic Violence. This project aims to investigate the economic determinants and impacts of family and domestic violence (FDV) using advanced econometric methods and large longitudinal administrative datasets. It expects to generate new knowledge on how employment, income, and financial security influence FDV, and the effects of FDV on women’s employment, earnings, and health, and children’s health and development. Expected outcomes include a health economics model to quantify the economic burden of FDV and to evaluate prevention and support programs. By addressing gaps in the economics literature, this research should provide significant benefits, such as informing targeted interventions to reduce FDV and mitigate its economic and social harms..
