Jednodetnosť a ženy s jedným dieťaťom na Slovensku. Ktoré ženy majú „len“ jedno dieťa?

Rok, strany: 2022, 464 - 497

Families with one child are not a very common phenomenon in Slovakia from a historical point of view. The model of early and almost universal motherhood was accompanied by a significant inclination towards a family of two or more children. However, in younger cohorts we identify a gradual growing trend. Despite this trend, knowledge about one-child families in Slovakia is considerably limited. The aim of this paper is a detailed analysis of the historical development of one-child families and its possible development in cohorts of women born since the mid-1970s, whose reproductive behavior has been most affected by the society-wide transformation of the last three decades. In the next section, we focus on the question of which women in Slovakia more often had one child. Based on census data, we identify differences in the representation of women with one child by marital status, education, nationality, religion and place of residence. The obtained results confirm that especially in cohorts of women born in the 1970s, we can expect relatively dynamic growth of one-child families up to the limit of one quarter. Towards younger cohorts, their share could gradually decline, especially given the expected increase in childlessness. In terms of existing differences, the results confirmed a more frequent one-child model among women with higher education, divorced women, people living in large cities, an in the Bratislava region. Slightly more often, women without religion, women of Protestant and Evangelical religion, as well as women of Hungarian ethnicity had one child.
