Abstract
The transition to childbearing at a later age is one of the most striking features of demographic change in recent years. Employing both vital statistics and survey data, the paper analyses the causes and consequences of fertility postponement in the Czech Republic.
The authors focus on the planned age of childbearing and on the reasons why women fail to fulfil their plans and postponing childbearing for a much longer period than originally planned.
