Abstract: Domestic violence is a social problem experienced by some married women. Victims of domestic
violence can experience health and mental problems and even lose hope for the future. This research
aims to prove the influence of average years of schooling, economic growth, poverty, and age at first
marriage on domestic violence. The number of subjects studied was all provincial areas and national
data (Indonesia). The type of quantitative data (cross section) was obtained from the Central Statistics
Agency, and the profile of Indonesian women in 2021. The highest level of domestic violence was
experienced by 12 provinces, 19 provinces in the medium category, and 4 other provinces in the low
category. The results of statistical tests (path analysis) prove that poverty can increase domestic
violence, while average years of schooling, economic growth and age at first marriage have the
potential to reduce domestic violence. Average years of schooling has the highest influence, followed
by poverty, age at first marriage, and economic growth on domestic violence. The Government's policy
priority to reduce domestic violence is to implement a 12-year compulsory education program, in
addition to poverty alleviation programs
