    In light of the ongoing very low levels of fertility and population ageing in the developed countries, many studies focus on measuring fertility preferences, ideals, desires and final outcomes. Many researchers point to and discuss the gap between fertility ideals and outcomes (so called fertility gap). Previous studies on Czech population suggest that the low fertility trap hypothesis could be justified even in the Czech environment (see Rabušic and Chromková Manea, 2013). If the ideal family size is correlated with the actual number of children, then given the long term very low fertility level (it has been less than 1.5 since 1994), the new generations of Czechs grow in an environment, where the norm (standard) is a family with a small number of children. The mismatch between the desired fertility ideal and realized one could be also caused by the way how we measure ideals and preferences. Hin and colleagues (Hin et al.
