A influência de fatores macroeconômicos na violência contra a mulher

Abstract

To realize this study, a data base was created using data from 2009 to 2013 of all diferents Brazilian’s states (and Distrito Federal). The data was collected on the websites of Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN), Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (IPEAdata) and from Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD). The point of this study is to investigate the relationship between macroeconomic factors and violence against women at Brazilian’s states. The data that was used in this job showed that when income’s unequality grows, the propensity of violence is higher. And when GDPpercapita grows, less is the propensity of violence, but that this just happens by certain point. The unemployment’s rate showed differents results depending if it is male’s unemployment, female’s unemployment or general unemployment. In case of male’s and female’s unemployment, violence against women tends to raise. But at the case of general unemployment, violence tends to decrease. This is a curious result that can be interpretated as brazilian’s families get more united in times of unemployment.
