The increasing number of children born to unmarried mothers represents one of the most significant demographic trends in the developed countries. For a long time, Slovakia has been one of the places where fertility and childbearing have been closely linked to married life. However, over the past few decades, this connection has been gradually weakening, and Slovakia has been approaching the group of countries with a relatively intensive increase in the number of children born out of wedlock. Since the beginning of the 1990s, the percentage of children born out of wedlock in Slovakia has quadrupled, and currently stands at 40 %. Demographic research on this phenomenon understandably focuses on mothers. But what do we know about the fathers of children born this way? The Slovak Statistical Office has been tracking data on fathers of children born out of wedlock since 2011. Although this is a relatively short period of time in terms of demographic changes, this information makes it possible to complete the demographic characteristics of both parents and thus contributes to enriching the analysis of out-of-wedlock birth rates.
