Interviewers of the Contemporary Czech family project are back in the field! By the end of 2021, they will collect questionnaires from 6,000 Czech households.
Thanks to the improving pandemic situation, interviewers are returning to the field after more than half a year. The collection of questionnaires began on May 4, 2021, and should be completed in October 2021.
Exactly 6,000 households were chosen for the data collection. The interviewers from the SC&C agency will select a concrete respondent aged 18-69 years according to a key. Respondents have the opportunity to complete the questionnaire either with the interviewer or online. They are entitled to a reward of CZK 500, which will be paid to them by Masaryk University in Brno. They can have the reward sent to a bank account or donate it to the charity Dobrý skutek.
Under strict hygienic conditions, interviewers' training is also taking place.
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.
