Relación entre tipos de violencia contra la mujer y factores socioeconómicos en mujeres casadas del Ecuador en el 2019.

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between types of gender-based violence and socio-economic factors in married women in Ecuador, adding the intergenerational factor. This work is based mainly on the study carried out by Kingston (1998), in the sense that it seeks to establish the association between the level of schooling, women's income and types of violence. However, more socio-economic variables such as education, income, age and marital status are included for this study. The present study estimates separately, using the Logit econometric model, the probability of suffering psychological, physical and sexual violence for married Ecuadorian women using explanatory variables of income and schooling level, as well as additional variables of age and the intergenerational factor. The result was that as women increase their educational preparation and their own income, the probability of experiencing violence decreases, and having experienced violence in childhood also has repercussions in the future, the intergenerational factor being relevant.
