DEVELOPMENT AND PROJECTION OF SINGLE-PARENT FAMILIES IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

The first part of the analysis will be focused on the description of the number of single-parents households in the Czech Republic in the period 1995-2016. The analytical part will focus on a comparison of single-parent families compared to the total number of the family households. The age and gender of the single-parent will be a complementary factor in this analysis. The second part of the analysis will focus on projection of the number of single-parents families in 2050. The essential source for this study are the data from Labour Force survey. LFS is a continuous survey with the possibility of resulting value on an annual basis unlike Census. The headship rate according to age groups and the relative share of individual types of households will be used as a basic methodological approach for this study. The advantage of this method is the possibility of linking to population projection. The population projection is the basic source for the following projection of households.
