The relationship between the aforementioned phenomena is most often examined using cross-sectional data, although it seems their development over time might be interlinked.

Few studies have focused on one-child families, even though in many countries having just one child is the main factor driving sub-replacement fertility levels.

This article contributes to filling these gaps by using a mixed-methods life-course research.

Jádrem dalších kroků na cestě k inkluzi je její akceptace.
