dc.description.abstract | Sexual violence profoundly affects the social well-being of victims through its numerous adverse
mental health outcomes, which may affect survivors’ employment and earnings.However, scant
scholarly literature examines the impact of sexual violence on women’s earnings in Zimbabwe.
Using data collected from 173 working women in Zvimba and Hurungwe districts, the ordered
logit model results showed that sexual violence (both lifetime and past 12 months experiences)
was insignificant in influencing women’s earnings in Zimbabwe. While Educational attainment,
location, and occupation were statistically significant in influencing women’s earnings. Women
who attained higher levels of education (secondary and tertiary) had greater chances of earning
higher incomes than those who attained primary education. Women who reside in urban areas
were more likely to earn higher incomes than their rural counterparts. On occupation, those in
the Managerial and Professional workers’ category had greater chances of earning incomes
above $10,000 (ZWL) than those in other categories. Given the impact of education on women’s
earnings, the study recommends that the government consider making education up to secondary
level compulsory and free for women and subsidising their tertiary education through its ministries
responsible for education. Providing more education centres, including vocational study centres,
particularly in rural areas, may help empower rural women and improve their chances of
participating in the labour market and earning higher incomes. | en_ZW |
