The project makes a comprehensive study of the conditions for achieving work – life balance in Czech society. It focuses on the legislative, social, political, institutional, employer and individual aspects of how individuals, couples, and families balance work and family obligations. The project consists of three phases, that combine theory and methodology in an effort to produce the following outcome: a) a legislative and socio-political analysis of work-life balance measures; b) a sociological analysis of the types of families with children for which work-life balance is of key importance; c) comparative analyses of work-life balance conditions at the employer level and a comparison of approaches and practises in Czech and foreign companies. The project contributes to creating a thorough understanding of the relations between work and family spheres from the point of view of the gender relations, in terms of both theory and methodology, and to developing recommendations that could be used in socio-political and employer policy and legislation.
