Title: “The impact of domestic violence on the health and educational attainment of children”

Abstract: This talk will summarise two research papers on the impact that witnessing domestic violence against their mother has on children´s health and their educational attainment. Both papers exploit the Millenium Cohort Study and address the potential endogeneity bias issue using various approaches. We conclude living in a house where there exists intimate partner violence hinders the health and the academic progression of children significantly.
