Recently there are many discussions about “Infertility Problem” considered as “Very Low Fertility Problem” in Japan. The aim of this paper is to describe the logic which characterise those discussions using the social constructionist approach. The approach offers to focus on the discourses and takes them to be reality producing and organizing activities. From this viewpoint, this paper analyses the references to the “Infertility Problem” in the correspondence of policy level to “Very Low Fertility”, and the discourses on “Infertility Problem” in the mass media. To conclude, in the correspondence of policy level, rhetoric of “subjective selection” is taken as a reason for making reference to “Infertility Problem”. It will lead to ambivalent results : the respect for individual choice and the attribution of responsibility to each individual. The results are emphasized through the discourses on “Infertility Problem” in mass media. The distinction between of them is the interpretive practice of narrating personal experience. Through that practice “Infertility Problems” are personalized and then orientation of social change is closed. The argument about the social correspondence of the “Infertility Problem” is to be developed with paying attention to the logic in it : the inequality arisen from undergoing medical treatment is concealed through that logic.
