Following the Dobbs decision, the 13 states with strict abortion bans lost a net of 36,000 residents per quarter, indicating a significant migration trend post-Roe v. Wade.
The analysis suggests a greater rate of out-migration among single-person households, highlighting younger individuals' tendency to leave states with abortion restrictions compared to families.
Access to abortion has substantial economic implications; women denied access face financial struggles, increasing reliance on government support and potentially harming state economies.
Our results indicate that employers in states with abortion bans may encounter difficulties in attracting and retaining younger workers who are crucial to the workforce.
