“…The TEF parameter estimated (-4.2911; p = 0.00001) indicates a significantly and inversely proportional effect of the variable 9 . Better female labor and socioeconomic conditions decrease the abortion rate 8 . This is associated to the fact that more educated women have higher income profiles, greater access and knowledge of contraceptive techniques, and less difficulties with unwanted pregnancies.…”

“…Mejores condiciones socioeconómicas y laborales femeninas disminuyen la tasa de aborto. 8 Este hecho se asocia a que las mujeres con mayor nivel de instrucción presentan perfiles de renta superior, mayor accesibilidad y conocimiento de técnicas anticonceptivas, y menores dificultades ante la materialización de embarazos no deseados. Adicionalmente, mayor estabilidad en el empleo, mercados flexibles y leyes que no penalizan el empleo a tiempo parcial, favorecen la materialización de los deseos de fecundidad, mientras que inestabilidad laboral y problemas asociados al contexto laboral, reducen las intenciones de fecundidad 4 .…”

OBJECTIVE Analyze the contextual and individual characteristics that explain the differences in the induced abortion rate, temporally and territorially.METHODS 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.RESULTS 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.CONCLUSIONS 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.

“…On the other hand are those studies which have focused on individual determinants which may influence, to a greater or lesser degree, why women have abortions, such as women’s employment status (Delgado and Barrios, 2007; Rasch et al, 2002), educational level (Font-Ribera et al, 2008; Pérez et al, 2010), civil status and age (Delgado and Barrios, 2007; Galobardes et al, 2006; Llorente-Marrón et al, 2016; Väisänen, 2017) and immigrant status (Helstrom et al, 2003; Pérez et al, 2013), among others.…”

Induced abortion is a worldwide practice and its legalisation is a persistent demand of the women’s movement. Although in the academic literature there are numerous studies that address the study of fertility, nowhere near as much attention has been given to the analysis of induced abortion and its determining factors, and even less to the consideration of gender equality as a variable through which to understand it. This article focuses on the influence of gender equality on the rate of induced abortion in different European countries. To that end the authors have constructed an econometric panel data model with information from 26 European countries for the period 2006–2011. They have analysed comparative indicators of the gender gap in terms of education, employment and wages. In addition, they have taken into account sociodemographic covariables such as the average age of motherhood, the migration rate and the percentage of births to unmarried mothers in each country. Also, as contextual factors the authors used the Human Development Index and an indicator of the legislation on abortion in the countries studied, as well as the percentage of the population who identify as having religious beliefs. The results show that the induced abortion rate is conditioned not only by national legislation on abortion, but also by gender (in)equalities, specifically that as gender inequality decreases, so too does the frequency of induced abortions. These findings have clear political implications, showing as they do how improvements in the status of women, particularly with respect to their social and economic rights, impact on women’s reproductive decisions.

RESUMENEl aborto voluntario es un fenómeno global que según distintos autores responde a patrones de comportamientos construidos socialmente y donde infl uyen las realidades sociales particulares de cada país. Este fenómeno requiere la información necesaria para comprender el complejo proceso que conduce a la decisión de la mujer para optar por la interrupción del embarazo y saber entender las circunstancias sociales, económicas y sanitarias que pueden explicar esta determinación. Con este propósito se presenta para el debate, algunas consideraciones sobre el aborto voluntario y la actividad laboral de las mujeres que optan por esta práctica, con especial mención la situación en España. Los argumentos están sustentados en el análisis de las estadísticas de interrupción Voluntaria del embarazo (IVE) reportadas por el Ministerio de Sanidad y Política Social, la participación de la mujer en el mercado laboral en España obtenidas del Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE), los resultados de investigación sobre la asociación entre la situación laboral de la mujer y la Interrupción Voluntaria del embarazo y la revisión exhaustiva de las literatura científi ca sobre las distintas perspectivas del abordaje del aborto voluntario. Merece especial importancia el análisis de la actividad laboral de la mujer, como un posible determinante en la decisión de la mujer para interrumpir su embarazo, variable que ha sido identifi cada en la mayoría de las investigaciones como una de las condiciones socioeconómicas en las mujeres que optan por esa alternativa, al considerar que el embarazo interfi ere con el empleo de las mujeres o, bien, les impide emplearse.Palabras Clave: Aborto inducido, trabajo de mujeres (fuente: DeCS, BIREME). ABSTRACTThe induced abortion is a global phenomenon that according to various authors respond to socially constructed patterns of behavior and where they infl uence social realities of each country. This phenomenon requires the information necessary to understand the complex process leading to the decision of women to opt for abortion and able to understand the social, economic and health that can explain this requirement.
