An Intersectional Approach to Research on Unemployment

Hana Hašková, Alena Křížková, Kristýna Pospíšilová

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2018, 54(2): 171-198 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2018.54.2.398

This article critically evaluates the use of an intergroup intersectional perspective in quantitative research on social inequalities and thereby helps to obtain deeper knowledge of the sources of inequality that impact chances of unemployment in the Czech Republic and contribute to the discussion of the benefits and limitations of using this approach. The advantage offered by the intersectional perspective is illustrated in an analysis of EU-SILC data. The analysis combines an additive and multiplicative (intersectional) approach to research on unemployment in the Czech Republic. An additive model of binary logistic regression is accompanied by binary...

Conflict in the Family of Origin, Subjective Wellbeing, and Mental Health in Adulthood

Dana Hamplová, Romana Trusinová

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2018, 54(2): 199-218 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2018.54.2.399

The article explores the relationship between conflict in the family of origin and an individual's wellbeing in adulthood. It examines to what extent the negative effects of a childhood spent in a conflict-ridden family can be explained by economic deprivation in childhood, a disrupted life course, and a person's sociodemographic situation in adulthood. Empirical analyses are conducted on data from the 7th wave of the ESS from 2014 and three indicators of personal wellbeing are used: a depression scale, self-reported happiness, and life satisfaction. The analyses show that spending childhood in a conflict-ridden family affects mainly the emotional...

Men and Women Caring for Elderly Family Members

Radka Dudová, Marta Vohlídalová

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2018, 54(2): 219-252 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2018.54.2.400

Current data show that most elderly care in the Czech Republic, as well as worldwide, is provided by family members and in most cases women. Men also provide care, but they are less likely to do so, the intensity of the care they do provide is not as great, and the care activities they engage in are of a different type than those performed by women. This article seeks to answer two questions: What share of Czech women and men are caring for an elderly member in the family? Do the experiences of sons and daughters as caregivers differ? For this purpose the article presents a quantitative analysis of the Wave 5 of the SHARE 2013 dataset and a qualitative...

The Sources of Insecurity in a Socially Excluded Locality

Václav Walach

Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2018, 54(2): 253-276 | DOI: 10.13060/00380288.2018.54.2.401

The present study aims to contribute to the development of sociological research on insecurity in socially excluded localities in the Czech Republic. Inspiration for the conceptualisation of the subject of this study comes from the field of critical security studies and specifically the Copenhagen and Aberystwyth schools of security and feminism. Empirically, the study draws on the author's long-term experience conducting fieldwork in socially excluded localities, mainly in the socially excluded locality Havířov-Šumbark. The study concludes that insecurity cannot be reduced to just the issue of crime or violence, as existing scholarship has done. An...
