Through the revision of the 1952 Eugenic Protection Act, the system of birth control practical instruction was introduced. This system was intended to decrease abortion and increase awareness of contraception. Midwives were assigned the primary role of instructor. After the mid-1950s, this system was incorporated into the family planning movement. As a consequence, the purpose and activities of the family planning movement were transformed, with the expanding role and difficulty of midwives as practical instructor. Thereafter, this system was ceased in 1971. This article considers the significance of this transformation that contributed to the end of the family planning movement. The family planning movement grew out of a change in thinking regarding children, from that of "an object received" to "an object created." This movement intended to instruct people how to foster a "bright healthy family life." It may be said that this movement, an attempt to encourage voluntary practice, was a form of social education (indoctrination) policy and practice. The historical materials used in the research for this article are information magazines of the Ministry of Health and Welfare (1953-) and bulletins of the Japanese Midwives Association (1947-). Through an analysis of these sources, the following becomes clear. First, in a series of processes, the family planning movement became part of the cultural movement. As a result, the specific purpose and role of birth control instruction became unclear. Second, based on the necessities of the occupation, midwives required not only to fulfill their role in hygiene instruction on the care of newborns to pregnant women and nursing mothers but also to carry out instruction in child care and child education. Furthermore, midwives also took on roles such as the care of healthy children or mentally disabled children, even the care of mothers with post-partum depression. Third, it was very difficult for midwives to provide instruction based on the "bright healthy family life" ideal as the population became more affluent and urbanized during Japan's period of rapid economic growth, because the target of the family planning movement, the modern family, had developed characteristics such as individualism and desire for privacy. This was an important factor in the collapse of the family planning movement.
