Childlessness in socio-demographic perspective in the Czech Republic Abstract This bachelor's thesis provides an overview of reproductive plans, changes in the timing of motherhood and the situation of voluntary childlessness in the Czech Republic. It analyzes socio- demographic factors that influence reproductive plans of people in the reproductive age born and raised in a dynamically changing democratic society. It relies on Czech data from an extensive international survey, the Generations and Gender Survey. The analysis focuses on the differences in reproductive plans between men and women depending on various factors and utilizes contingency tables and logistic regression methods. The data analysis revealed differences in reproductive plans based on gender, economic situation, education, and identified the main motivators for childlessness as the absence of a suitable partner to start a family, financial circumstances for starting a family, and age. Women showed a higher tendency than men to plan a child-free life. Keywords: childlessness, reproductive plans, logistic regression, Czech Republic
