The GGP expanding its activities.
In the last years, the GGP went through a crisis caused by underfinancing and lack of staff in many participating countries as well as within the Central Coordination Team. The Czech Republic, as a representant of this crisis, conducted the last wave of data collection in 2008. However, new structure of financing and more stable sources of funding for Research Infrastructures seems to be a beginning of a bright future of the project. The GGP thus confirmed itself as a unique source of valuable data, which currently does not have competitors in its field. As a result, former participants have been joined by many new countries. The Czech node will be hosted by Masaryk University, which will evolve the cooperation with Charles University on this project.
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.
