Description	The article presents a test of Catherine Hakim s preference theory in the Czech environment. Using data from a representative survey of Czech women between the ages of 20 and 40 the authors first test to what extent Czech women conform to the typology of homecentred, work centred and adaptive women. In the second part of the article the authors test whether this typology is a good predictor of Czech fertility and whether it influences the attitudes of Czech women on family policy measures.
