ASSESSING THE DEVELOPMENTAL EFFECTS OF ABORTION LIBERALIZATION IN SUB-SAHARA AFRICA: THE CASE OF MOZAMBIQUE

This dataset contains empirical data used in the study that examined the impact of abortion liberalization in Mozambique on key health indicators and its immense implications for economic growth and development. It includes variables such as adolescent fertility, fertility rates, life expectancy, infant mortality, and adult female mortality, along with relevant control variables covering the period from 1997 to 2020. The dataset also includes synthetic control estimates used to construct a counterfactual Mozambique, derived from a pool of Sub-Saharan African countries that did not liberalize abortion during this timeframe. The data was solely sourced from the World Bank Development Indicators.
