How do Czech respondents view the family roles of men and women? In the new analysis, we examined to what extent the respondents of the first wave of the "Contemporary Czech Family" (GGS-II) agreed or disagreed with statements focusing on the importance of children in the lives of women and men, women as single mothers and the employment of mothers of young children. We compared their answers with the answers of respondents who took part in the GGS-I 16 years earlier (2005).
A significant decrease in short-term and long-term fertility plans occurred among young people aged 18-39 between 2020 and 2022, when the data collection of the first wave of the "Contemporary Czech Family" (Czech GGS-II) took place. In 2022, respondents indicated that they wanted to have a child in the next three years and in the more distant future less often than in 2020.
