Abstract
This article aims to contribute to the discussion of the factors that could affect reproductive plans over the next three years. According to the results of the Contemporary Czech Family survey, which was conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic in December 2020 and April 2021, the desire to have a (or another) child in the near future is primarily influenced by the number of children a family already has and by the values associated with parenthood. Socioeconomic changes brought about by the pandemic are not yet being reflected in parental plans.
