New round of data collection under preparation
The intention of the GGP Central Coordination Team to organize a new round of data collection has become to change into reality. The next waves of the Generations and Gender Survey will be performed on fresh representative samples of participating countries in 2019, 2022, and 2025. Each national team should interview approximatelly 10,000 respondents on topics similar to previous waves - family and partnership, employment, wages, retirement, health, intergenerational relationships, gender division of household tasts, etc. To this date, more than 30 countries expressed an intention to participate - most of them from Europe, but some countries from Asia, Australia, or the Americas as well. Still, a lot of work and often securing a funding needs to be done in most of the countries.
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.
