摘要

摘要:本文研究了越南农村母亲因干旱导致的短暂收入冲击而堕胎,以及重男轻女如何调节这种调整。我发现,受影响的母亲在无法顺利消费时,堕胎的可能性要高出30%。重要的是,干旱与更多的女性胎儿流产有关,这加剧了男性出生时的性别比例失衡。虽然大约两年后出生率反弹表明干旱的影响与生育时间有关,但重男轻女的短暂冲击可能会增加“失踪女孩”的数量,从而产生长期的人口后果。

Can Abortion Mitigate Transitory Shocks? Demographic Consequences under Son Preference

Abstract

This paper investigates abortion in response to drought-induced transitory income shocks and how son preference regulates such adjustments for rural mothers in Vietnam. I find that affected mothers were 30 percent more likely to obtain abortions when they were unable to smooth consumption. Importantly, drought is associated with disproportionately more abortions of female fetuses, which exacerbates the male-biased sex ratio at birth. Although a rebound in birth rates after approximately two years suggests that the effects of drought are pertinent to the timing of fertility, transitory shocks under son preference can have long-term demographic consequences by increasing the number of “missing girls”.
