The aim of this study is to identify the effect of personal unemployment experience before the first childbirth on its timing. The data from the Women 2016 survey and the Czech Generation and Gender Survey 2008 includes 1212 respondents. There are two types of personal experience of unemployment which negatively impact fertility timing. These are job loss (the direct transition from employed to unemployed status) and worse economic conditions on a macro level (in this study it is represented by the period after the beginning of financial crisis in 2008).
