In a new article in the Czech Sociological Review, Dominika Sladká and Martin Kreidl from Masaryk University focused on the associations between working from home, work-family conflicts, and partnership satisfaction.
Using data from the Czech GGS COVID Pilot, they found that frequent work from home was associated with more frequent conflicts between work and family in December 2020.
People working from home at least twice a week were significantly more likely to report that family responsibilities make it difficult to focus on work or that household chores often make them too tired to work. In addition, people who frequently experienced these conflicts were also more likely to think about ending the relationship with their partner.

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.
