PRAGA – La violencia doméstica le cuesta al mundo 25 veces más que la guerra y el terrorismo, según una investigación realizada por James Fearon de la Universidad de Stanford y Anke Hoeffler de la Universidad de Oxford, por encargo del Copenhagen Consensus Center.
Al observar diferentes tipos de violencia, Fearon y Hoeffler hallaron que a nivel mundial, los costos del conflicto – incluidos el costo económico de las muertes por guerras y terrorismo, los desembolsos relacionados con los refugiados y el daño pecuniario en general – en conjunto suman aproximadamente el 0,2% del PIB mundial cada año.
Esa cifra se ve eclipsada por aquella relacionada a la violencia doméstica. El costo de la violencia doméstica alcanza a un asombroso 5,2% del PIB mundial cada año. Sin embargo, la cantidad de investigación y fondos dirigidos a resolver el problema de la violencia doméstica es pequeña en comparación con la que se gasta en la búsqueda de la paz internacional.
We hope you're enjoying Project Syndicate.
