Projekt mapuje faktory, zdroje a souvislosti procesů a mechanismů genderových nerovností na českém trhu práce v souvislosti se změnami české společnosti po roce 1989 a v souvislosti se vstupem ČR do EU. Projekt využívá kvalitativní sociologickou metodologii, zarámovanou sekundární analýzou dat z kvantitativních sociologických šetření, přičemž důraz je kladen na biografické vyprávění žen v různých fázích životního cyklu a v situacích, kdy jsou ohroženy znevýhodněním na trhu práce (zkušenost s nezaměstnaností) v kombinaci s kategoriemi: fáze mateřství, výše dosaženého vzdělání a věk.

The paper explores the construction of work and care in various contexts of breadwinning in the Czech Republic. It looks into what importance mothers of small children attribute to work and care in various family arrangements from the perspective ofbreadwinning. The paper also asks what impact various family set-ups have on the possibility for women’s self-fulfilment andrelatedly gender equality in the family and beyond.
Private is political is not only a purely sociological issue on the theoretical and research level, but also an up to date policy on the European level. This issue of the Czech Sociological Review represents some of the growing variety of issues studied in the area of work/life balance.
To what extent and in what ways does work influence fertility plans? The issue of job instability influences mainly men, the issue of combining work and care pertains mainly women. The chapter explains the low involvement in parenthood of men with low education, the highest childlessness among university educated women, and later entry into parenthood among couples in whichthe man’s education is lower.
Using firm-level data from the Czech Republic in the years 1998, 2002, and 2004, we examine whether the introduction of legislative measures for gender equality connected with the accession to the European Union had a significant effect on gender wage inequality. The central conclusion of our analysis is that within-job wage inequality plays a significant role in the Czech labour market, and that there were no substantive changes during the period studied.
The chapter is focused on the development of the position of women in the labour market and on the development of the conditions for work-life balance in the workplace historically from the 1950s to the present. We argue that the high employment of women does not automatically imply women’s emancipation and fulfilment of their rights as citizens in a society based on a gender contract with the gendered arrangements of work and care as conflicting spheres.
In this article we compare the models of economic transition that have influenced changes in legislation and employment andsocial policies and have an impact on gender equality in the labour markets of three post-socialist countries during the period ofeconomic transition and accession to the EU (2000-2005) – Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovenia. We argue that the promise for gender equality has not been realised because of the formal approach to the EU accession process in these countries.
The paper focuses on organisations and the conditions for working parents in terms of combining work and care and how those conditions are set up and negotiated in organisations. The research draws on three case studies comparing pairs of companies active in the Czech Republic and in one of the following countries – Germany, France, and Sweden – in the field of engineering.
Autorky v článku mapují teoretické argumenty genderové dimenze sociálního státu. Navrhují tři integrální dimenze konceptualizace rodičovství v české společnosti a na trhu práce: 1) právo být rodičem a právo pracovat, 2) rovnost či nediskriminaci v rodičovství, 3) příležitost dosáhnout kombinace pracovního a soukromého života.
This publication presents a quantitative look at the issue of gender segregation – a statistical image – and a qualitative image of the social reality of women’s labour as portrayed in contemporary Czech television serials. The analysis showed that the Czech labour market continues to be and has long been heavily segregated and the degree of segregation is only decreasing very slowly.
This review of the book of Barbara Havelkova is positively evaluating the complexity and exactness of the approach used to explain the issue of gender pay inequalities between women and men in the context of absence of the anti-discrimination law in the Czech Republic. Barbara Havelková puts the issue into context with the European law, theories of gender inequalities and statistical indicators.
