Problem and solution

　The declining birthrate is one of problems that we must think. The total fertility rate has been steadily decreasing. In 2005, it was 1.25 and the lowest. The main cause is late marriage and late childbirth. In addition, economic crisis, the society advance of the woman, the environmental delay that the woman can have a baby and child care with working and obstetrician shortage. If this problem continues, public pension plan will need to reform that the increase of insurance premium and reduction of benefit. If worst comes to worst, there is a fear that it can’t support the social security of senior citizen with burden of young people.
　One way to solve this problem is to increase obstetricians. Now there is very little number of obstetricians nationwide. As a result pregnant woman can’t find a hospital easily and must go other area to see a doctor. Japan is not country which can have a baby relievedly. So we must think ways to solve. For example, the government should support students who want to become a doctor, protect hospital which is in financial difficulties and overworked doctor. This reform will cost a lot of money, but more obstetricians are necessary to stop declining birthrate.
