| Research Abstract |
One of the major factors causing continuous fall in the national birth rate is the lack of social infrastructures to secure women's reproductive rights in Japan. To reverse this worsening trend, we need to apply the concept of "Reproductive Security" to discussion. In recent years, women choose not to have a child for various reasons. Some just choose to have a life without children based on their own will, others are reluctant to give birth to and raise children due to insecure social support system although they desire to have a child. In this paper, from the point of view of reproductive rights and reproductive security, I analyze the current situation where women have to give up to have children and argue what measures are necessary so that women can have children and raise them without anxiety.
