The Effects of Male Violence on Female Employment
SUSAN LLOYD

This article examines the effects of male violence on the labor force participation of 824 women in a randomly selected household survey in a low-income area of Chicago. In the year prior to interview, 18.0% had been physically assaulted and 11.9% had experienced more severe violence; 40.3% had experienced coercive and threatening behaviors ever in their adult lives, and 28.4% had experienced abuse at the criminal assault level. Analysis indicates that although women who experienced male violence were as likely to be currently employed as those who did not, they were more likely to have been unemployed in the past, to suffer from health problems, and to have higher rates of welfare receipt.
