Abstract
The low-fertility problem is expected to cause social problems in many areas, such as an increase in the burden of support costs, a shortage of the labor force, and conflicts between generations. Thus, this study was conducted to find policy measures to solve the fertility problem and provide basic data for researches related to childbirth. The study used the data from the 5th (2014) survey to 7th (2018) of the Survey of Women & Families to examine the factors affecting childbirth, childbirth abandonment, and childbirth undecided in married women aged 20 to 49 with childbirth plans, and for that, analysed the actual childbirth behavior during the 4 years. As a result, the analysis results show that there should be the support for counseling or related programs to improve marital relationships, expansion for social support to release the burden of childcare, and resolution of negative fertility environment problems. In addition, there should be the policy supports to make the environment in order to practice the childbirth plan they selected rather than just childbirth encouragement.
