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.
