Domestic violence, decision-making power, and female employment in ColombiaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 233-254 - 2020
Johanna Fajardo-Gonzalez
Using data from the Colombian Demographic and Health Survey, I document a positive association between intimate partner violence against women and the likelihood of women’s employment. This finding persists when I exploit the husband’s own childhood experience of abuse as a source of plausibly exogenous variation for the incidence of domestic violence. To explore potential mechanisms underlying th...... hiện toàn bộ

Measuring employment deprivation in the EU using a household-level indexSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 639-667 - 2014
Carlos Gradín, Olga Cantó, Coral del Río
We propose an aggregate measure of employment deprivation among households that follows a methodological framework developed to measure wellbeing. This index verifies a set of reasonable axioms that other available measures do not: increases in three relevant employment deprivation elements-incidence, intensity and inequality. Incidence captures how many households in a population are touched by ...... hiện toàn bộ
