In addition, this study estimates the lost earnings to women because of partner violence as a share of Tanzania's gross domestic product. Partner violence is the most common form of violence against women and the adverse consequences for women s health have been well documented. Few studies have estimated the economic costs of partner violence in low- and middle-income countries and current evidence suggests that the cost is large. Using data from the nationally representative 2008-2009 Tanzania National Panel Survey, the study uses propensity score matching methods to estimate the difference in women's earnings from formal waged work and non-agricultural self-employment. Data on women's earnings from agricultural self-employment, the largest employment sector for women in Tanzania, were not collected in the survey. Findings from this study reveal that partner violence is pervasive in Tanzania and that abused women earn less than women who have never been abused, with the greatest loss of earnings experienced by women in formal waged work (compared to women in non-agricultural self-employment) and by women in urban areas (compared to women in rural areas).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABUSEABUSED WOMANABUSED WOMENADOLESCENTADOLESCENT FERTILITYADOLESCENT GIRLSADOLESCENT WOMENALCOHOLALCOHOL CONSUMPTIONALCOHOL USEBASIC NEEDSBEATINGCASH CROPSCHILDHOODCRIMECRIMINALDEPRESSIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDOMESTIC VIOLENCEDOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENEARLY MARRIAGEECONOMIC CHANGESECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTELDERLYEXPOSURE TO VIOLENCEFAMILIESFAMILYFATHERFEMALEFEMALE GENITAL CUTTINGFEMALE HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFEMALE POPULATIONFERTILITY RATESFGCFIRST SEXUAL EXPERIENCEFORM OF VIOLENCEFORM OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENFORMS OF GENDERFORMS OF VIOLENCEFORMS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENGENDERGENDER DISPARITYGENDER FOCAL POINTGENDER INEQUALITYGENDER NORMSGENDER RELATIONSGENDER TRAININGGENDER-BASED VIOLENCEGIRLSGROSS NATIONAL INCOMEHARASSMENTHEALTH BURDENHEALTH POLICYHEALTH SERVICEHIVHOMEHOUSEHOUSEHOLD DUTIESHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHOUSEHOLD WORKHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUSBANDSILL-HEALTHINFORMAL SECTORINFORMATION ON WOMENINTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR RESEARCH ON WOMENINTERPERSONAL VIOLENCEINTIMATE PARTNERLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR MARKETLABOR SUPPLYLAWLIFE EXPECTANCYLIVES OF WOMENLIVING STANDARDSMARITAL RAPEMARRIAGEMARRIAGE ACTMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNAL MORTALITY RATIOMEDICINEMENTAL HEALTHMOTHERNATIONAL LEVELSNATIONAL PRIORITYNATIONAL STRATEGYNUMBER OF CHILDRENNUMBER OF WOMENOFFENSESOLDER WOMENOPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMENOWNERSHIP OF LANDPARTNERSPHYSICAL VIOLENCEPOLYGAMYPOPULATION DIVISIONPOPULATION ESTIMATESPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION GROWTH RATEPOPULATION INFORMATIONPOPULATION INFORMATION PROGRAMPOPULATION SIZEPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL EDUCATIONPRODUCTIVITYPROGRESSPROPERTYPROPORTION OF WOMENPSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSEPUBLIC HEALTHRADIORAPERELIGIOUS LEADERSREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH INDICATORSRISK OF VIOLENCERURAL AREASRURAL WOMENSANITATIONSELF-ESTEEMSERVICESSEVERE PHYSICAL VIOLENCESEXSEX TRAFFICKINGSEXUAL ASSAULTSEXUAL INTERCOURSESEXUAL OFFENCESSEXUAL PARTNERSEXUAL VIOLENCESEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENSOCIAL AFFAIRSSOCIOECONOMIC STATUSSOURCE OF DRINKING WATERSPOUSESTATUS OF WOMENSTDTELEVISIONUNDPUNEMPLOYMENTUNITED NATIONSURBAN AREASURBAN WOMENVICTIMSVIOLENCEVIOLENCE ON WOMENWHOWIFEWILLWIVESWOMANWOMENWOMEN ENTREPRENEURSWOMEN'S HEALTHWOMEN'S STATUSWORK FORCEWORKFORCEWORKING WOMENWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONYOUNG ADOLESCENTYOUNG ADOLESCENT WOMENWorld Bank10.1596/16696
