Domestic Violence and Employment Earnings
A study of reported cases of domestic violence over a 22-year period revealed that domestic violence is linked with a 4% decrease in employment and a 5% decrease in earnings (Bhuller et al., 2024). The rise in use of disability insurance mirrors the decrease in employment, as well as correlates to the increase in mental health diagnoses.
