Srovnání podmínek rodičovství v podnicích ve čtyřech evropských zemích (závěry)

The chapter raises parallels between the countries in the study and the dynamics of organisational processes in those countries – CR, Germany, France and Sweden. The substantial differences between the employee policy of companies in their home countries and in the Czech branches derive partly from the differences in the family and employment policies in different countries, the gender structure of related institutions at various levels in different countries and within the field the enterprise operates in, the differences in the amount of importace accorded to women’s employment and different maternal ideologies, and the institutional infrastructure for childcare provided by the state (or other actors). All this is also influenced by the historical and social development of the country, which has an impact on the contemporary conditions of parenthood, because it is reflected in the way these conditions are interpreted by individual actors – employers and parents, men and women.
