Abortion

Definitions

This indicator calculates the number of abortions (elective and for medical reasons) of women living in Switzerland per 1000 women aged 15 to 44 and by age group. The rates by nationality are based on the female population of each canton that records the nationality of women undergoing abortion (this is the case for about half of them).
