Denn gerade in aktuellen Rentenreformdebatten sollten Ungleichheiten zwischen Geschlechtern mitgedacht werden – insbesondere mit Blick auf Sorgearbeit und Erwerbsverläufe.

This has been a great collaboration on an issue we know far too little about - thanks to my co-authors for their hard work and dedication!

⚠️ Limitations:
➖ We capture only physical IPV
➖ Only includes women who managed to separate

💡 Policy implication: Support maternal employment & childcare access to reduce IPV risk before and during separation, particularly in former West Germany

👉🏼 Higher HH income reduces stress and conflict in partnerships

👉🏼 Economic dependence traps women longer in unsafe relationships—and violent dynamics tend to build up over time

Women’s economic independence and physical intimate partner violence (IPV) during separation A growing number of studies have addressed the issue of intimate partner violence (IPV). While some studies have shown that women’s economic independence reduces the risk of physical IPV, the empirica...

🚨 My very first paper (with @stefaniamolina.bsky.social and Michaela Kreyenfeld) is out in #PLOSONE!

🔎 Key takeaway: Mothers who are unemployed and low-educated are at highest risk.
