Abortion Statistics in Romania
(And why?)
- In Romania, abortion rates had topped the charts to having
the largest number of abortions in Europe. (Per year)
- Abortions levels had reached 477/1000 pregnancies per
year.
- This is believed mainly due to the lack of family planning, along with large amounts of people living in crowded housing with sub-par living conditions.
- This made having a child a very discouraging thing.
Crude Birth Rate (per
thousand)
As of 1966, Romania had introduced a pro natalist policy that
intended to help increase its slow-growing and dwindling
population.
This policy had included many changes, including the announced illegality of abortion, which if performed was punishable by law.
Pre - Policy Romania
- During the 60's, Romania population growth
rate although still growing had almost reached
0% (0.6%) in natural increase.
- This was due to the:
- - Low birth rates.
- - High abortion rates.

Fertility Rate
Now for the interactive part.
The Success/Failures of the policy:
The policy hadn't lasted long, and authorities monitoring the levels of
abortion had slow returned to their old, normal jobs.
Incentives brought on by the government hadn't been enough to persuade families to have the amount of children as hoped and birth rates had slowly begun to drop again.
In the short term however: in the first 3 years of introduction the amount of birth rates per year had increased from 230,000 in 1966 to 520,000 in 1969.
