| Description | In the last decades the Czech Republic experiences, as other countries, fundamental changes in family and reproductive behaviour – including declining marriage rates and marriage postponement. These changes are interpreted through the second demographic transition perspective, which postulates strengthening of values with negative effect on individual decision to marry. Nevertheless, the effect of individual value profile on marriage entry has not been explicitly modelled. Therefore, we use data from two waves of Generations and Gender Survey from 2005 and 2008 and indicate what the effect of selected values (measured in the first wave) on later marriage entry was. We find only partial support for the second demographic transition theory (materialism increases the likelihood of marriage among respondents outside the labour market). Overall, we observe a much weaker effect of value variables than we have expected according to the second demographic transition theory. |
