Exploring the full spectrum of reproductive experiences
Objective: The study examines changes across cohorts in terms of the timing and frequency of the full spectrum of reproductive events and explores whether these reproductive trajectories reflect broader trends towards the destandardisation of family formation. Furthermore, the study assesses the quality and limitations of Czech health registry data by comparing them with official vital statistics. Background: Analysing fertility alone is insuffic…
How do reproductive events other than live births shape the timing of a second child?
Fertility research often overlooks reproductive events other than live births, e.g. miscarriages, induced abortions, stillbirths or infertility treatments. This study examines the extent to which the type and timing of such events influence the timing of a second live birth in Czechia. Using register data for women born between 1976 and 1991, Cox proportional hazards models were employed to assess the roles of age, cohort and reproductive experie…
First reproductive experience: A survey module
BACKGROUNDThe first reproductive experience, particularly its timing, shapes reproductive pathways and the number of children a person has.However, most surveys that record childbearing histories do not ask about this formative initial experience. OBJECTIVEThis questionnaire module on first reproductive experiences aims to improve the understanding of women's and men's reproductive pathways by capturing the timing, sequence, and outcomes of the f…
Cross-border Reproductive Care in Czechia: Insights from National Registry Data
Cross-border reproductive care (CBRC) represents a growing component of assisted reproductive technologies (ART), particularly in Europe. This article presents a descriptive, register-based analysis of CBRC in Czechia, focusing on the volume of ART cycles, the countries of origin of patients, and treatment types in comparison with domestic patients. We analysed 176,588 ART cycles recorded in the Czech National Registry of Assisted Reproduction (N…
The fertility timing gap: The intended and real timing of childbirth
The fertility gap, which indicates the difference between the planned and actual number of children born, can be explained by the shift in parenthood to older ages and is associated with the non-attainment of one’s intended reproductive plans. This paper focuses on the gap in the timing of entry into parenthood, i.e. between the planned and actual age at the birth of the first child. The study is based on data from the Women 2016 survey which re-…
Does Advanced Maternal Age Comprise an Independent Risk Factor for Caesarean Section? A Population-Wide Study
The age of a mother comprises an independent risk factor for a CS birth when the influence of health, socioeconomic, and demographic characteristics is considered
The realization of fertility intentions in the context of childbearing postponement: Comparison of transitional and post-transitional populations
Childbearing postponement is a key demographic change that has been experienced by most European countries. It leads to a late-fertility pattern, with women realizing their reproductive plans preferentially after the age of 30. This may result in a lower fertility level. Since the ideal family size has not changed in most European countries, it has been argued that the end of the postponement transition further depends on the extent to which the …
Parental Leave Policies and Second Births: A Comparison of Czechia and Slovakia
Changes in the Parental Benefit Scheme in the Czech Republic and Their Potential Impact on Reproductive Behaviour
Childcare leave schemes are one of the key measures that affect the ability of women and men to balance their work and family lives. Both the length of the parental leave period and the amount of the benefit have the potential to shape the timing of a subsequent birth. Important changes have been introduced into the Czech parental benefit scheme over the last 10 years in terms of both the scheme's flexibility and the monthly amount of the benefit…
The Impact of the Economic Crisis on Fertility Levels in EU Member States
The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of the economic crisis which commenced in 2008 on fertility levels across the EU, i.e., whether the onset of the crisis influenced the fertility trends and whether the various countries differed in terms of their response to the crisis. The relationship between the two economic indicators GDP per capita and unemployment rate and the total fertility rate as the dependent variable was explored employing…
Fatherhood in a Changing Society: Shifts in Male Fertility Patterns
The fertility pattern in the Czech Republic, as in other central and eastern European countries, has undergone dynamic transformation over the last quarter of a century. This study aims to contribute to the debate on the influence of structural and situational variables on fertility in low-fertility countries and extends the debate by introducing the viewpoint of male reproduction. The aim is to identify the factors influencing the transition to …

Czech Republic: A rapid transformation of fertility and family behaviour after the collapse of state socialism
Following the swift demise of the state-socialist regime in 1989, a profound transformation of family and fertility patterns has taken place in the Czech Republic. Family formation has been postponed and period fertility rates have fallen to very low
A Second Child in the Family - The Preferences and Values of Czech Women
In the fi nal decade of the 20th century, reproductive behaviour in the Czech Republic underwent signifi cant changes, which were manifested in, among other things, a decline in the birth rate. Views on the ideal number of children in a family have, conversely, remained consistent in the population over time, and the ideal of the two-child model has been repeatedly identifi ed in sociological studies over the long term. Given the currently very l…
