This statistic shows the share of women who have undergone one or several induced abortions in Finland in 2018, by level of education. According to the results of the survey, approximately 15 percent of all respondents had undergone an induced abortion. With 19 percent, the share of women with a lower education level having undergone an induced abortion was roughly four percent higher than the average.
The original question was phrased as follows: "Onko Teille tehty raskauden keskeytyksiä?"
The source provides the following information: "Information is collected by a mail and online questionnaire.
The respondents are at least 20 years old and have permanent residency in Finland. There is no upper age limit.
The questionnaire is sent to people drawn by random sampling from the data of the Population Register Centre.
The questionnaire form is available in Finnish, Swedish, Russian and English.
The survey is carried out annually at the national level (sample size 10,000). This allows processing the findings only on the national level, not by any smaller regions.
Once every four years, the sample size is expanded to enable following the changes by counties at a rough level (sample size 3,300/county)."
