The meeting of the GGP Council of Partners will be held on Wednesday, June 6, 13h00-17h00 at Vrije Universiteit Brussel. The meeting will be the occasion to discuss further with GGP national teams plans for participating in the next round of data collection in 2020. As of February 22, twelve countries have already expressed an intention to seek funding, form a national team, and make preparations for the next round of data collection by signing a letter of intent. The meeting is also open to other national teams. It will be held in concert with the European Population Conference 2018.
In addition to the meeting, a series of Regional Workshops will be held this year to prepare national teams to the organization of the next round of data collection and to raise awareness about the GGP.
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.
