Low fertility in the Czech Republic: Did the country miss out on the optimal time for fertility recuperation?
2015
Abstrakt
Following a sharp drop in the 1990s a surge in the total fertility rate from 1.1 to 1.5 was registered in the Czech Republic in the 2000s. This increase was associated with a recuperation influenced by improvements in family policy.
Using both demographic and survey data and taking France as the reference country we argue that the potential for fertility recuperation was not fully realised due to delayed measures in the Czech Republic.
