Abstract

This paper examines how the relationship between individual education and attitudes toward intimate partner violence varies across countries, with particular attention to the role of gender-specific educational composition. Using Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys from 2005 to 2024, supplemented by Demographic and Health Surveys in robustness checks, I construct harmonized measures of domestic violence attitudes for individuals aged 25–49 across 74 countries for women and 43 countries for men. The results show substantial cross-country heterogeneity in the education effect. On average, education is associated with lower acceptance of domestic violence among both women and men, while the moderating role of national educational composition is concentrated in female samples. Among women, the education effect becomes more negative in countries with higher male secondary-or-above attainment, while it becomes weaker in countries with higher female attainment. Oster-style bounds further suggest that, under proportional-selection assumptions, the negative education effects in selected countries are unlikely to be fully explained by unobserved childhood family background. These findings suggest that, in female samples, the observed association between education and IPV-related norms depends not only on individual schooling but also on the gendered distribution of education in society.
