N2  - Australia  conforms  to  the  gender  norm  that  women  should  earn  less  than  their  male  partners.  We  investigate  the  impact  of  violating  this  cultural  norm  on  the  incidence  of  domestic  violence  and  emotional  abuse  against  women  and  men  in  Australia.  Violating  the male breadwinning norm results in a 35 per cent increase in the likelihood of partner violence  and  a  20  per  cent  increase  in  emotional  abuse  against  women.  We  find  no  effect  on  abuse  against  men.  The  strong  effect  of  violating  the  gender  norm  on  abuse  against women is present across age ranges, income groups and cultural and educational backgrounds. (Authors' abstract). Record #7091
