The phenomenon of childlessness in the context of social changes in Czech society

Project duration: 
2003 - 2006

The subject matter of the project was a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of childlessness in Czech society, focusing on involuntary childlessness as well as the choice of life without children. An emphasis was on researching life strategies, conditions and identities of childless men and women of three age categories. Childlessness was studied comprehensively, including socio-demographic analysis of the changes in the number and structure of the childless, a media analysis of childlessness, a secondary analysis of quantitative data concerning the issue of family and reproduction, and a qualitative analysis of 60 problem-centered interviews with childless men and women of three age categories.

The article informs about changing attitudes of Czech men and women towards gender roles, in particular from the perspective of international and longitudinal surveys. It has been observed that the Czech population differs in its opinions on gender roles from Western European populations that seem to be less gender-conservative in those opinions than Eastern European countries. It has been also proved that during the 1990´s Czechs´ opinions changed towards less conservative attitudes.
