Abstract: [eng] [cze]
This study presents an analysis of the situation of the Czech Republic, a country with one of the highest levels of gender segregation in the labour market of all EU countries. The segregation of women into low-income professions, firms and employment groups plays a very important role in the Czech Republic and is the cause of approximately one-third of the gender pay gap. At present the gender segregation of the labour market is not a topic that is being discussed at the political level. Studie prezentuje situaci České republiky jako země s jedním z nejvyšších stupňů genderové segregace trhu práce v rámci zemí EU. Segregace žen do nízkopříjmových profesí, firem a sektorů hraje v ČR velmi důležitou roli a je přímou příčinou velkého podílu mzdových rozdílů mezi muži a ženami. V současnosti není genderová segregace trhu práce tématem, které by bylo diskutováno na politické úrovni.
