Analyze the contextual and individual characteristics that explain the differences in the induced abortion rate, temporally and territorially.
We conducted an econometric analysis with panel data of the influence of public investment in health and per capita income on induced abortion as well as a measurement of the effect of social and economic factors related to the labor market and reproduction: female employment, immigration, adolescent fertility and marriage rate. The empirical exercise was conducted with a sample of 22 countries in Europe for the 2001-2009 period.
The great territorial variability of induced abortion was the result of contextual and individual socioeconomic factors. Higher levels of national income and investments in public health reduce its incidence. The following sociodemographic characteristics were also significant regressors of induced abortion: female employment, civil status, migration, and adolescent fertility.
Induced abortion responds to sociodemographic patterns, in which the characteristics of each country are essential. The individual and contextual socioeconomic inequalities impact significantly on its incidence. Further research on the relationship between economic growth, labor market, institutions and social norms is required to better understand its transnational variability and to reduce its incidence.
分析从时间和地域上解释人工流产率差异的背景和个体特征。
我们利用面板数据进行了计量经济学分析，研究公共卫生投资和人均收入对人工流产的影响，以及衡量与劳动力市场和生育相关的社会经济因素的影响：女性就业、移民、青少年生育率和结婚率。实证分析采用了2001 - 2009年期间欧洲22个国家的样本。
人工流产在地域上的巨大差异是背景和个体社会经济因素造成的。较高的国民收入水平和公共卫生投资会降低其发生率。以下社会人口特征也是人工流产的显著回归因素：女性就业、婚姻状况、移民和青少年生育率。
人工流产与社会人口模式相关，其中每个国家的特征至关重要。个体和背景方面的社会经济不平等对其发生率有显著影响。需要进一步研究经济增长、劳动力市场、制度和社会规范之间的关系，以更好地理解其跨国差异并降低其发生率。
