abstract: 'Purpose Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a breach of fundamental human
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rights, and a global health issue. While the literature is rich in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
research on the determinants of IPV, the possible effect of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic inequality on IPV has received little attention. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
present paper is aimed at examining the effect of socioeconomic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality on IPV in India, a nation where VAW is among the highest in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the world.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods We used data from the third and fourth round of National Family
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Health Survey for India, a nationally representative sample survey
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conducted in 2005-2006 and 2015-2016, respectively. It is claimed that,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
by eroding social capital in the living community, socioeconomic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality raises the likelihood of witnessing violence. To estimate the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
impact of socioeconomic inequality on IPV, we rely on concentration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
curve, and decomposition analysis method.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results Our findings show a clear statistically significant positive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
association between IPV and socioeconomic inequality in India, though
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the percentage has decreased from 2005-2006 to 2015-2016 (39.7 to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
31.0\%). The large age gap between couples was found to be positively
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated where younger women have a higher risk of IPV from their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
spouses. In addition, other covariates such as no education, husband''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unemployment status, poor economic status of household increases the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
risk of IPV and were also statistically significant. Women''s working
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
status protected them against IPV (A.O.R = 0.80 {[}2005-2006]; A.O.R =
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
0.70 {[}2015-2016]), though there was a greater risk of IPV among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
uneducated women.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusion Poverty and deprivation among men often emerge as potentially
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
important drivers of this. Interventions to empower women would not only
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
expand women''s access to economic services and opportunities, but should
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
also collaborate with men and women to tackle men''s livelihoods, male
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender stereotypes, and masculinity norms.'
