Freedom of Choice and Fair Share of Burden in a Depopulated Society

“Gender equality will raise the total fertility rate (TFR).” This is the most dominant discourse on fertility these days. In this paper, I criticize such discourses and statistics, using research literacy methods.First of all, according to an international comparison among OECD countries, there seems to be a strong positive correlation coefficient between the rate of female labor participation, the amount of public expenditure toward children, and TFR. The samples are, however, often selected in some arbitrary ways. In fact, there is no correlation.Secondly, based on JGSS2001 data, I find that the sharing of domestic labor by husbands cannot increase the number of children. Thirdly, “gender equal” couples (double-income couples, of which husbands do domestic labor a lot) have less children and earn higher income than other types of couples. Due to the Difference Principle, there is no reason to support them.Fourthly, I propose the Japanese government provides “child allowance” to all children under 18 years old equally. It is based not on the theory of the “child care free rider, ” but on the child's right to live. The present public nursery service gives priority to double-income couples. It is unfair because of the unequal accessibility to the service by the parents' lifestyles and income. If the public nursery service cannot solve such inequality, then it must be privatized.Finally, the financial costs of “child allowance” must be shared by all citizens over 30 years old. I suppose there are three options to generate these costs. The priority will be as follows : cutting a part of the pension plan for child allowance; increasing the consumption tax; and increasing the income tax. This political strategy will be able to solve the unequal freedom of choice under the present child care support system, and can improve the imbalance in benefits of and contributions to the pension system among generations.

Introduction of an occupational group-spreading EDP-commission -increase of transparency and compliance

The rising use of the EDP in hospitals of each order of magnitude raises different problems. Since each field of activity has own hard and software requests, this leads first of all to a multiplicity of heterogeneous isolated solutions, which make economic maintenance and servicing much more difficult. Besides redundancies and bad investments are pre-programmed. Secondly the central assignment for hard and software often takes place according to obscure and sometimes unreasonable criteria. Thirdly the coworkers, who are to operate locally with appropriate systems, frequently as the latter or not at all involved with the consequence of a contraproductive or boycotting adjustment of the coworkers and from this resulting reduction of the data quality. As solution for this in the Klinikum Krefeld was created 1995 a EDP-commission of the hospital physicians, that functions as official organ of the directors of hospital in EDP interests. The chronology and the solutions for the described problems are represented. - Due to the positive results of this institution in logical consequence 1999 a occupational group-spreading EDV commission was brought into being, which represents medical and nursery service, administration and EDP department and advises in all EDP interests both with strategic decisions the managing director as partner for the coworkers in EDP problems functions The chronology, the personnel composition as well as the agenda of the EDP-commission are represented. After our knowledge a such commission in Germany was not institutionalized yet, so that we want to energize to likewise transfer this due to our throughout positive experiences in the own hospital.

The Newborn Child, ed. 3, by David Vulliamy, M.D., F.R.C.P., D.C.H. Baltimore: The Williams & Wilkins Company, 1972, 189 pp., $11.75

The third edition of this well-known primer has been revised and updated to become a timely and useful guide. Among its attributes are its small size (it fits a lab coat pocket beautifully), frequent subject headings, clarity of style, and emphasis on common problems. The illustrations are relatively few in number but pertinent. The book is recommended for students, residents, and nurses who first become associated with a nursery service. It serves as a readable and useful introduction.

A practical classification of newborn infants by weight and gestational age

A classification of newborn infants based upon gestational age and birth weight is proposed. The advantages of establishing such a routine on a nursery service, and the possibility of superimposing neonatal mortality rates upon gestational-age and birth-weight data are presented.

A COMMUNITY-WIDE PEDIATRIC PROGRAM: A BEGINNING AND A BLUEPRINT FOR THE FUTURE

IN DECEMBER OF 1963 a communication by Robert M. Sigmond, Director of the Hospital Council of Western Pennsylvania, appeared in Pediatrics. It examined in detail the existing facts concerning the quality of pediatric care and residency training in the community hospitals of Pittsburgh and its environs and came to some definite conclusions. Excerpts of these conclusions follow: "Planning for children's inpatient services should encourage grouping of small segregated pediatric units in which most children receive care today. . . . Small units interfere with provision of high quality, comprehensive care and are wasteful of scarce personnel and dollars. . . . Most general hospitals should affiliate with major general hospitals or children's medical centers at which their pediatric inpatient facilities could be grouped into a few large units. . . . Failure of children's medical centers to develop such affiliations may have dire consequences in the long run." By the time this article appeared Drs. Robert E. Cooke (Professor of Pediatrics), Russell A. Nelson (President of The Johns Hopkins Hospital), Thomas B. Turner (Dean of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine), and I were deep in discussions about this very topic. For many years, while I had been heavily engaged in the problems of the pediatric department of the Sinai Hospital and the nursery service of the Hospital for the Women of Maryland, the manifest deficiencies of these services as they were then constituted, and the difficulty of overcoming them had been much on my mind. Chief of these was our inability to develop a training program which would attract the house staff so necessary in modern times to provide ideal patient care.

Records for Hyperbilirubinemia

The problem of jaundice is frequent in a large nursery service. In a hospital delivering 400 to 500 babies per month, our "exchange team" commonly sees 15 to 20 babies each month. Most of these are subjected to diagnostic hematologic and bilirubin studies; some require exchange transfusion. We have devised the forms reprinted herein to be used as part of the newborn infant's record. The "Graphic Data Sheet—Newborn Jaundice" (Fig. 1) has been useful in the following way. 1. All laboratory work is recorded on this form. 2. An over-all numerical record of the rate of rise and the degree of bilirubinemia is immediately apparent. 3. The need to search through many laboratory slips to relate age to level of bilirubin is avoided. 4. After discharge this sheet is removed and kept for future evaluation of our experience with neonatal jaundice in regard to etiology, frequency, course, and management. 5. We have also used this record for newborn infants with mild clinical icterus, if any work-up is done, to give more accuracy to statistical studies. The "Exchange Transfusion Record—Newborn Jaundice" (Fig. 2) is used for all exchange transfusions of newborn infants. All occurrences and medications during exchange are recorded. Changes in the infant's condition, venous pressure, pulse rate, calcium infusions, exchange volume, and duration for procedure are documented. Morbidity and mortality statistics on exchange transfusions may then be readily accumulated. These records and their analyses have facilitated our management of hyperbilirubinemia from known hemolytic disease, as well as bilirubinemia of undiscovered origin (called B.U.O. in our nursery). Perhaps other pediatricians would find these forms an aid to their care and study of newborn infants with jaundice. We have submitted these records to the Academy's Committee on Fetus and Newborn for consideration as part of the "Standards and Recommendations for Hospital Care of Newborn Infants."
