The article Fatherhood in a Changing Society: Shifts in Male Fertility Patterns by Renata Kyzlinková and Anna Šťastná presents the factors influencing the transition to fatherhood among Czech men. The analysis revealed that the transition to fatherhood is positively influenced by co-residence partnerships (especially marriage), by having completed a tertiary-level education and by living independently. The Czech Generations and Gender Survey data are used in the article.
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.
