The Generations and Gender Survey will begin its new round of data collection with new representative samples in 2020-2021. As other research infrastructures, the GGS fieldwork has been affected by the pandemic. Several countries are reassessing their plans for fieldwork, and Moldova’s national team had to halt the ongoing fieldwork in March. Czech national team will begin the fieldwork in Fall 2020. Thus far, thirty countries have expressed an intention to participate.
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.
