The Effect of Access to Legal Abortion on Fertility, Marriage and Long-term Outcomes for Women
研究西班牙1985年堕胎合法化对女性的影响，发现其立即降低了生育率，尤其对年轻女性和服务供给充足地区更明显；受影响的女性高中毕业率更高、早婚和长期离婚率更低、成年后生活满意度更高，但对劳动市场结果影响不大。
Abstract We evaluate the short- and long-term effects for women of access to legal, subsidised abortion. We find evidence that the legalisation of abortion in Spain in 1985 led to an immediate decrease in births, more pronounced for younger women in provinces with a higher supply of abortion services. Affected women were more likely to graduate from high school, less likely to marry young, less likely to divorce in the long term and reported higher life satisfaction as adults. We find at most small reductions in completed fertility, while we do not find meaningful effects on labour market outcomes in the long run.
