In the knowledge-based society, utilization of women's resources has significant implications as the key to success of national competitiveness. The space and conditions for women to show their abilities in all areas should be provided. Policies on women's resources, which aim to achieve gender equality, should not be limited to the area of social welfare as usual, but should be treated in-depth with relation to political, economic, social, and cultural areas. Local women policies do not reflect the distinct characteristics of the local areas and realities of women, furthermore, even the concept of women policies is not delivered to local women. In this study, directions to shift local women policies from the marginalization to the mainstream of policy are discussed focusing on utilization of women's resources.

Objective : Recent government policy for encouraging increased birth rate and its historical background were reviewed from the standpoint of a midwife. Suggestions were made for an effective policy to encourage more births. Possible roles of midwives regarding this new policy were also discussed. Methods : Literature reviews and internet research Results : Korea has been very successful in implementing its population control policy since the 1960s. It now considers a policy to encourage increased births due to falling birth rates. There are two opposite sides on this policy. One is positive and the other is negative opinion. The health of women and children should be given top priority in any policy -making or decisions, so that the quality of their lives can be improved. Midwives can be active members in the establishment and implementation of such policies. Conclusion : This policy to increase birth rates can be a good opportunity for midwives to publicize the fact that normal deliveries can be handled economically, efficiently, and safely by them. This will attract more women to employ midwives and use their clinics. If midwifery clinics in the form of a corporation or a consortium with other health care professionals can be established, they could be developed as One-Stop Women's Health Care Centers, where health needs of, not only pregnant women, but all women over the course of their lifetimes can be satisfied.

The low birth rate in Korea reflects the declining desire to have children in this country due to rising emphasis on personal lifestyle. Since this phenomenon has accelerated, boosting the birth rate has become one of the most important policy tasks in Korea. The purpose of this research was to perform a case study based on women's lived experience to understand how the childbirth encouragement policy promoted by the government in order to boost the birth rate has affected the perception of childbirth among women. The findings are as follows : First, the effect of the childbirth encouragement policy on women's perceptions has been fairly low.

Finally, the impact of the childbirth encouragement policy on changes in the perceptions of childbirth has been minimal. Based on these findings, various motivations for changes in the perceptions of childbirth among women were identified, leading to the following conclusion: Establishing a long-term childbirth encouragement policy is an effective way to boost the childbirth rate.
