MU and CU arranged a cooperation
Two key institutions of the Czech GGP - Office for Population Studies at the Masaryk University and Department of Demography and Geodemography at the Charles University - established a long-term cooperation on this project. The representatives of these institutions prof. Martin Kreidl and doc. Jiřina Kocourková thus became the Principal Investigators of the Czech node of the GGP. Both of them already participated on functioning of the project in the Czech Republic. From now on, project activities will be shared by these two top-ranked institutes and each of them will establich its own research and administrative team within next months.
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.
