Domestic violence is a crime that affects women across the world. Tanzania is no exception. However, only a few studies have examined the relationship between domestic violence and women’s employment status in Tanzania. Moreover, such studies have methodological limitations. Using a 2‐stage linear probability model on a nationally representative sample, this study shows that the impact of women’s employment status on reducing domestic violence is much greater if endogeneity is controlled for. We conclude by arguing that there is a need for policies that enhance women’s employability and we call for greater rigour in research analysis to avoid drawing misleading conclusions.

坦桑尼亚妇女的就业状况与家庭暴力：它们如何联系？

家庭暴力是一种影响世界各地妇女的犯罪。坦桑尼亚也不例外。但是，只有少数研究研究了家庭暴力与坦桑尼亚妇女就业状况之间的关系。而且，这样的研究在方法上有局限性。在全国代表性的样本上使用两阶段线性概率模型，该研究表明，如果控制内生性，那么妇女就业状况对减少家庭暴力的影响就更大。最后，我们认为需要制定提高女性就业能力的政策，并呼吁在研究分析中更加严格，以免得出误导性的结论。
