Abstract
Knowledge of family and household structures is very important for understanding the demographic regime of a given time. For this reason, as well as being a subject of consistent interest to social historians, historians of everyday life, cultural anthropologists, ethnographers, and gender studies, they are also a study focus in historical demography.
And although Czech production on this subject recently has been somewhat scanty (a separate study devoted to the history of the Czech family was published fourteen years ago), the family and households nonetheless remains a focal interest of historians.
