Abstract
As one aspect of national health policy, it was decided to popularize family planning among the Japanese people in 1952. This policy was adapted soon after the end of the Second World War at a time when the nation was attempting to overcome postwar chaos and poverty. However, this movement actually got underway in 1955, therefore maternal health conditions had become worse. Table 1 shows a comparison between the 1952 and 1979 statistics. The figures in 1952 on birth rate, death rate and maternal death rate are high compared to more recent rates.
