Generations & Gender Programme Czech Republic

👨‍👩‍👧 How are partnership, parenthood, and family life changing in Czechia? At the 15th Olomouc Autumn Sociological Conference, Darina Kmentová presented the Contemporary Czech Family survey, part of the international Generations and Gender Survey. 🔗 ggp-cz.fss.muni.cz/en/aktuality...

📱❤️ Why are more young people single? A new article by Téma.21 draws on findings from the Contemporary Czech Family study, showing that nearly one-third of people under 29 do not have a partner. For some, this is not a voluntary choice. 🔗 tema21.cz/clanek/treti...

💬 Why are more people living without a partner? Martin Kreidl presented findings from the GGP study showing that singles are far from a homogeneous group. While some are happy being single, others would like a relationship but struggle to find one. See more in Czech www.jmk.cz/content/32250

💭 Why are some women choosing life without a partner? A recent @denikn.cz article explores changing attitudes towards relationships and features findings from our Contemporary Czech Family research project. (Available in Czech only.)

📢 We are now inviting new respondents aged 18–22 to take part in our study. 🔎 We would like to learn more about the experiences and views of young adults today. 🤝 Thank you for your participation and time. Your responses are invaluable and help us better understand how Czech society is changing.

"Living in an owner-occupied parental home made no difference to young adults' leaving aspirations in 2005, but by 2022, it reduced them by about a quarter as homeownership became a buffer against unaffordable housing," Jana Závodská from the Czech GGP team presented at the ENHR 2026 conference.

"A couple is perceived as 'not ready' to have children primarily when they have a low income, and this perception is stronger when the man has a low income than when the woman does," Thomas Philip Heyes from the Czech GGP team presented at the EPC 2026 conference. @thomasphilipheyes.bsky.social

📌 At the 55th Conference of the Czech Demographic Society, the “Contemporary Czech Family” session presented results from the Czech GGS on reproductive behavior, partnership dynamics, and the situation of low-income families with children. 📊 More (in Czech): ggp-cz.fss.muni.cz/aktuality-a-...
