How to read this table
The different methods of measuring pregnancy terminations in this table help assess the scale of the phenomenon from two perspectives. The first row shows the total number of registered cases in thousands, while other rows demonstrate the abortion rate per 100 births. Comparing these values reveals how the structure of the population's reproductive behavior changed throughout the entire period from 2000 to 2024, accounting for demographic changes
What is visible in these numbers
The largest value belongs to “total, thousand — value” — 444 abortions; the smallest is “per 100 households — 0–14 — value” at 0.2 abortions. The gap between them is 2,222-fold.
The table is 95% filled: Rosstat does not publish every cell, and the gaps are left as they are rather than interpolated.
