Using Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) data from 19 developing countries in South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East, we found that working women were significantly more likely to experience IPV than their stay-at-home counterparts. Given the great diversity in women\u2019s employment with respect to economic returns and working conditions, we disaggregated women\u2019s employment into three categories vis-\u00e0-vis agriculture jobs (AJ), blue-collar jobs (BJ), and white-collar jobs (WJ). The disaggregated analysis revealed that women engaged in all three job categories were significantly more likely to experience IPV. After controlling for potential endogeneity of women\u2019s employment, we found that women\u2019s work increased the risk of less severe physical violence (LSPV) and emotional violence (EV) but reduced the risk of sexual violence (SV). Endogeneity-adjusted disaggregated analysis showed that women engaged in BJ and WJ faced an increased risk of LSPV but reduced risk of SV. In contrast, women undertaking AJ faced a smaller risk of severe physical violence (SPV) and SV. This study contradicts some long-held beliefs that women\u2019s work is a sufficient condition for protecting them from IPV. The public policy should not assume that women\u2019s earnings automatically protect them against the risk of IPV. While encouraging a greater female labor force participation rate is important in its own right, women\u2019s risk of IPV is context-specific.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08862605211021961","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,7]],"date-time":"2021-06-07T23:24:53Z","timestamp":1623108293000},"page":"NP16180-NP16205","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Troubling Trade-offs Between Women\u2019s Work and Intimate Partner Violence: Evidence From 19 Developing Countries"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Sameen","family":"Zafar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lahore University of Management Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saima","family":"Zia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, Lahore, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4100-3382","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafi","family":"Amir-ud-Din","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, Lahore, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-08862605211021961","unstructured":"Addati L., Behrendt C. & Wagenhauser M.
