Obstacles and opportunities for implementing flexible working arrangements in the Czech Republic
Formánková, Lenka ; Dudová, Radka ; Vohlídalová, Marta
The aim of the research project is to analyze all types of factors influencing the implementation of flexible working arrangements in the Czech Republic. In the analysis we research the flexible working arrangements in the international comparative perspective. We have chosen 5 European countries (France, Netherlands, Slovenia, Denmark and Sweden) with long lasting tradition of part time employment to analyze their specific experience and the relevant policy measures. Consequently we aim to compare the typical features of part-time employment and flexible working policies in the selected countries with the specific situation in the Czech Republic. On the basis of the findings, we will propose policy measures which would lead to better availability of the flexible working arrangements, above all part-time work, same as better conditions for the ones in flexible contracts, in the Czech Republic.

The author analyzed more than 20 in-depth interviews with members of school management and teachers that she conducted in autumn 2009. As higher numbers of immigrant children in Czech schools and the demands of inclusive education is still relatively new in the Czech Republic, there exist no clear guidelines how to equalize educational opportunities of students of foreign origin and current praxis at schools considerably differs. The author discusses also acculturation strategies of immigrant families and concludes with statement that successful inclusive education depends upon partnership of school and family.
