亲密伴侣暴力是一个重要的全球健康问题，决策者试图通过各种干预措施，包括促进“赋予妇女权力”的努力来解决这一问题。我们使用了越南一项随机对照试验的数据，发现这一策略可能适得其反：参加性别与创业培训项目的女性比对照组的女性遭受更频繁的虐待。我们推测，女性收入的增加是将培训项目与家庭暴力联系起来的机制。我们还在方法上做出了贡献，并表明我们的影响分析的结果取决于我们如何衡量亲密伴侣暴力。(C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
Intimate partner violence is an important global health problem that policy makers seek to address by a variety of interventions, including efforts to promote "women's empowerment." We use data from a randomized control trial in Vietnam and find that this strategy may backfire: women who participated in a gender and entrepreneurship training program suffer more frequent abuse than women in the control group. We conjecture that increased female income is the mechanism linking the training program to domestic violence. We also make a methodological contribution and show that the outcomes of our impact analysis depend on how we measure intimate partner violence. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
