摘要

我们研究了西班牙在第一次COVID - 19封锁期间堕胎的变化。我们发现，在2020年春季严格封锁期间和之后不久，堕胎数量大幅下降（24%）。我们探讨了由于社会隔离导致的（意外）怀孕减少与限制获得堕胎服务在多大程度上推动了这一下降。我们发现，在远离堕胎诊所的地区和COVID - 19住院人数较多的地区，下降幅度并不明显。非同居女性的堕胎率下降了45%（相比之下，同居女性的堕胎率下降了16%）。我们还记录了堕胎率（堕胎超过怀孕）下降了38%，这完全是由非同居女性造成的。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，西班牙堕胎率下降的主要原因是，由于社交互动减少，封锁期间单身女性意外怀孕的减少。

The Impact of COVID‐19 on Abortions in Spain

We study changes in abortions in Spain around the first COVID‐19 lockdown. We find a large drop (of 24 percent) in the number of abortions during and shortly after the strict lockdown in spring 2020. We explore to which extent the fall was driven by fewer (unintended) pregnancies due to social isolation versus restricted access to abortion services. We show that the drop was not more pronounced in areas located further away from abortion clinics nor in locations with more COVID‐19 hospitalizations. The fall in abortions was 45 percent larger among non‐cohabiting women (relative to cohabiting women, who experienced a 16 percent decline). We also document a 38 percent drop in the abortion ratio (abortions over pregnancies), driven exclusively by non‐cohabiting women. Overall, our results suggest that the main driver of the drop in abortions in Spain was a reduction in unintended pregnancies among single women during the lockdown, due to reduced social interactions.

期刊介绍： Population and Development Review is essential reading to keep abreast of population studies, research on the interrelationships between population and socioeconomic change, and related thinking on public policy. Its interests span both developed and developing countries, theoretical advances as well as empirical analyses and case studies, a broad range of disciplinary approaches, and concern with historical as well as present-day problems.
