Obstacles
to Employment of Women with Abusive Partners:
A Summary of Select Interview
Data

Jennifer Camacho
July 1999
GCP-99-1
A high proportion of women who receive welfare are abused by their intimate
partners. This paper examines the relationship among welfare receipt,
job readiness (i.e., employment history and training), employment resources
(i.e., transportation and child care) and intimate violence among women
in three domestic violence shelters. These women have few job skills
and many barriers to employment. Many reported long-term physical or
mental health problems, and most had young children at home, making
work difficult. Most of the women were unemployed and few had any kind
of job training. Their job histories consisted of intermittent work
for low pay in unskilled positions. Many of their abusers disrupted
the women's work and school efforts, severely interfering with their
attempts at self-sufficiency.
