Family lives of young people are a topic that arouses the attention of the public and the media. In the new leaflet, we focused on how young people think about parenthood, what effect the birth of a child would have on their lives, and whether they believe that in the coming years they will have fulfilled the conditions that are generally considered to be important for starting a family.
When do Czech women and men experience important reproductive milestones, such as the birth of their first child or their first sexual experience? This is the focus of the latest leaflet with the results of the “Contemporary Czech Family" research.
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.
