Exploring the Economics of Abortion: A U.S. Case Study

Welcome back to the Expanding Economics podcast! In this episode, we dive into a complex and often overlooked aspect of abortion discourse: economics. Sasha and Zoya explore the impact of abortion policies on economic outcomes, particularly for women. They examine how access to abortion influences issues such as workforce participation and income equality and how abortion access can fit into the broader framework of economic theory. By analyzing the issue through an economic lens, they shed light on how access to abortion affects both individuals and society as a whole. Tune in for a discussion that takes the landmark abortion rulings of the U.S., Roe v. Wade and Dobbs v. Jackson, as a case study to highlight the intersection of policy, economics, and well-being.
