| Description | The political changes in 1989 brought about a change in life and reproductive strategies. With the return of market economy and the restitution of private property, the Czech family quickly resumed to the western family model. Nevertheless, it is not clear whether groups exhibiting the same formal demographic parameters are also identical in their value orientations, thus they in fact represent a different cognitive process and responses to different variables. This all understandably calls up the question on which basis does the current desire and willingness for Czech women to have children rest and in which form has modern society transformed the traditional institutional basis of this desire and willingness, notably family and intergenerational solidarity in society (having many children must be covered economically, socially, culturally, and individually in a safer way than by one man, whose life-long loyalty is, moreover, uncertain). |
