Majtaníková, Denisa ; Šťovíčková Jantulová, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Moree, Dana (referee)
The thesis is a case study of a selected organization that deals with the issue of low return rate of women after maternity/parental leave. The theoretical framework is based on the identification of the key factors affecting women's return to work, including the Work Life Balance concept, C. Hakim's Preference Theory, the concept of employee turnover, R. A. Karasek's Demand-Control Model and J. Siegrist's Effort-Return Imbalance Model. The empirical part of the research relates to the research question identifying the factors that influence the low return rate of women to the mentioned organization. The research is based on two sources of data - analysis of selected documents, complementing the context of in-depth semi-structured research interviews. The sample consists of selected women of the mentioned organization. With regard to theories and other relevant documents, three significant factors influencing the low return of women to the said organisation were identified - the difficulty of the work, low financial remuneration and the nature of the work. The fourth less significant factor was the lack of communication from the organisation after women go on maternity leave. The research concludes with a discussion and a conclusion.

Fathers in Czech families and households with a focus on caring fathers
Paučinová, Anetta ; Šťastná, Anna (advisor) ; Janáková Kuprová, Barbora (referee)
Fathers in Czech families and households with a focus on caring fathers Abstract The male role in the family and household has undergone a long evolution, accompanied by a number of changes in its status, until today, when we are faced with the requirement to exercise active fatherhood. A history of fatherhood is therefore included, highlighting the most important milestones in the development of the father's role - from the time when the only function of the male in the animal kingdom was reproductive, through patriarchal fathers, to the demand for equal involvement of men and women in childcare and the home, which is linked to caring, active or new fatherhood. Alongside this, relevant sociological research is presented that situates this topic within the societal issue of gender equality. Its importance is also discussed in the field of family policy, with the main concern being the equal distribution of unpaid work and the reconciliation of family and working life for both sexes. The family policy instruments that aim to achieve this are thus presented. One of these is parental leave, which was made available to both parents in 2001. Efforts to increase men's involvement in childcare through parental leave were supported in 2019 by a directive of the European Parliament and the Council, which mandated...

The situation of low-educated mothers on the labor market after the parental leave
Drtilová, Adéla ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Kotrusová, Miriam (referee)
This thesis focuses on the low employment of low-educated mothers after maternity leave, which accumulate disadvantages in the form of motherhood and lack of education. I assume that low-educated mothers face special challenges that other groups of mothers do not. These issues cause barriers to returning to the labor market and are the cause of high unemployment of these mothers. In this work I conducted qualitative research - interviews with mothers and street-level bureaucrats. I found that the main problem is that mothers work in the secondary labor market, which are often found working in shifts. Shift work does not allow them to balance work life with institutional childcare. These mothers have low human capital, resulting in difficult negotiations with employers - so often unable to enforce their claims and rights and become unemployed. In this thesis I have identified external and internal causes of unemployment among low-educated mothers and their impacts. I also found out that the labour office is providing quality services differently because of insufficient resources.

Poláková, Šárka ; Hejzlarová, Eva (advisor) ; Klimešová, Magdalena (referee)
The parent center is currently the phenomenon, which is compared with the "State" schools or more today to discuss "the children's group" devoted less attention. And, in particular, in the section that deals with the care of children without parents. Although the parent centers help solve one of the social and political problems, the Czech Republic- the lack of places in nursery schools, in crèches, they lack support. Legislative support, support the child care area in MC without the participation of the parents. In the Czech Republic currently operates a total of 427 MC and in the Liberec region, on which I focused in the empirical part, has 21 maternity center. Of these 21 parent service center to care for children without parental involvement provides a total of 14 maternity center. And the MC feels the need to legislative support, which would be welcomed by, clearer rules for the operation of the parent center, especially in the environment of a child without the participation of the parents. This support is important in all activities that MC. Maternity Center is not just about "meeting", but also on the promotion of intergenerational cohabitation, create facilities for families with children, and last but not least, active participation to facilitate the return of women and men back into the...

Family policy in the Czech Republic and services of care about children in the pre-school age
Sláma, Vladimír ; Munková, Gabriela (advisor) ; Kotous, Jan (referee)
v anglickém jazyce Family policy in the Czech Republic and services of childcare for children of pre-school age This master's degree thesis deals with family policy, in particular with the institutional provisions of childcare services for children of pre-school age, their legislative framework and potential future development. The goal is to find out whether the current legislation of childcare services sufficiently reflects the needs of parents, given demographic developments and the existing socio-cultural and economic context. The first chapter characterizes the current context of family policy in the Czech Republic: We are experiencing rising fertility rates, while people realize parenthood at later stages of their lives. In addition, opinion polls show that 50% of families desire an egalitarian family model with an equal distribution of childcare responsibilities between both parents, thus allowing for the professional development of each. In reality, however, women usually lower their professional ambitions and stay at home taking care of the children. The second chapter suggests that the discrepancy between the desired and the actually practiced family model is a result of existing family policies in the Czech Republic, which prefer the model of the father as the breadwinner and the mother...

Bolinová, Petra ; Kotrusová, Miriam (advisor) ; Hejzlarová, Eva (referee)
Diploma thesis "The conditions of university - educated mothers of little children re- entering the labour market in the Czech republic" deals with reasons of long term interruption of qualified womens' career. The most frequently, they stay at home taking care of children three years, inspite of the fact, that they are motivated by their human capital and their need of self fulfillment to get back to their job as soon as possible. The thesis is based on the assumption that there is a substantial tension between work and family life of university - educated women. The thesis identifies which factors influence the period these women stay away the labour market. Besides a human capital, there is a frame of the family and institutional policy, a kind of household division of labour and culture context. The thesis focuses on tertiary - educated mothers' preference on their professional and household engagement. It also focuses on structural conditions in the labour market, institutional policy and the role of employer in reconciliation of work and family life. The thesis brings a contribution for its focus on university - educated women with their specific characteristics, and for its focus on employers' family - friendly activities.
