Are sexual disagreements between partners associated with separation proneness? Yes, according to a new study published in The Journal of Sex Research. This study by Dominika Perdoch Sladká and Martin Kreidl uses data from the first round of the Generations and Gender Survey (2004-2013) from seven European countries and shows that frequent disagreements are associated with a higher probability of thinking about breaking up with a partner. The link between sexual disagreement and separation proneness is – contrary to the expectations – stronger among women than among men.

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.
