A new report finds that 31% of teenage girls aged 16 to 18 have recently experienced economic abuse. The figures are reported by the charity Surviving Economic Abuse and are reflected across multiple outlets covering the study. The reporting indicates that, in many cases, the abuse begins soon after a relationship starts, sometimes within weeks of the relationship forming. Economic abuse generally refers to controlling or restricting a person’s access to money or resources, or using finances to maintain power over a partner. The sources present the statistic as a measure of how common this type of abuse is among teenage girls in the specified age group, and highlight early onset as an important pattern in cases described by the charity. Together, the coverage focuses on the prevalence of economic abuse and the speed at which it can emerge in relationships involving teenagers aged 16 to 18, according to the charity’s findings.
