¹	Induced abortions by women under 20 years per 1 000 women 15- 19 years.
²	From 1994 and 1995 only figures of induced abortions by year of birth are available. Induced abortions per 1 000 women in 5- year groups are calculated by interpolation between years of birth.
³	The number of legal abortions performed on 1 000 women surviving up to 50 years, calculated from the age-specific aortion rates of the current period.
