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.
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.
