The humanistic approach to childbirth is dominant in Brazil.

The technocratic model of childbirth implies a separation of mind and body during pregnancy. Commonly practiced in industrialized societies that prioritize machines, the human body is seen as a machine that requires intervention for successful procedures. Japan, an industrialized society practices this model.

Japan is also noted for providing a lump sum for all pregnant women that amount to 420,000 Yuans. Those with insurance can access this sum. This will make social class less pronounced.

Brazil has adopted the humanistic approach to healthcare which is based on the belief that there is a connection between the mind and body. Therefore, human emotions can affect the body and most especially during pregnancy.

Social class affects childbirth in Brazil and this is encouraged by the coexistence of public and private hospitals. The public hospitals are overpopulated because they are free while the private hospitals are less populated and offer better care.

In conclusion, Japan practices a technocratic model of childbirth and provides a uniform stipend for pregnant women whereas Brazil practices the humanistic approach and is affected by social class.
