In the Czech Republic, women still take on most of the domestic responsibilities, despite being active on the labor market to a comparable extent as men (with the exception of periods of intensive care for the youngest children). In an intact family, the woman always or usually washes the clothes, prepares the food, and in more than half of the families, she is usually the one who does the vacuums. Men are traditionally responsible for minor repairs, while both partners are equally involved in the organization of free time and often in the management of finances.

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.
