Item Restricted The determinants of intimate partner violence in the Philippines (bleeding love)(2015-06) Gascon, Janine Camelle T.; Tacbaya, Ace C.; Arcenas, Agustin L.Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) or simply domestic violence is not only a health but an economic concern as well. IPV does not only undermine the productivity of those who experience domestic violence but also the economy as a whole. Domestic violence can be classified into three types: a) emotional, b) physical, and c) sexual Determinants were also classified into four categories: Individual, family, socio-structural and socio-cultural level. This study shows that on the individual level, educational difference of the spouses, husband's frequency of being drunk, women·s employment, income difference, and inter-generational violence increase incidence of partner-related violence, while spouses' age difference and women's age first cohabitation seem to he protective of women against domestic violence. On the family level, duration of cohabitation seems to protect wives from physical and sexual violence, while the effect of children on the incidence of domestic violence diverges-it decreases the likelihood of sexual violence but it could also increase risk of emotional and physical violence. In the social-structural and socio-cultural levels of analysis, certain levels of tolerance to violence makes the occurrence specific forms of violence more likely while unemployment and a wealth index of five seem to reduce the risk of IPV.
