Socioeconomic Gradient in the Incidence, Frequency, and Severity of Intimate Partner Violence: Evidence from Latin America
This paper empirically examines how socioeconomic status (SES) shapes intimate partner violence (IPV) incidence in Latin America. Using Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) data, I provide an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms linking SES and IPV, and highlight pathways for targeted interventions and policy design to better support women at risk.
