Vojta Grundmanová, Lenka ; Koldinská, Kristina (advisor) ; Tomšej, Jakub (referee)
Social security of parents when providing childcare Abstract The thesis "Social security of parents when providing childcare" deals with the topic of current legislation of social security which aims to help the parents to effectively reconcile their personal and working life during the period of early childcare (approximately up to three years of age). The aim of the thesis is to analyse and assess current social security laws and their application and practical impact on the parents providing childcare. The thesis focuses on the social benefits of parental allowance, maternity allowance, and also on maternity grant and paternity benefit, as well as on the provisions of the Labour Code concerning the protection of the parent as employee. In terms of reconciliation of private and working life, the thesis also discusses the situation of the childcare services. The aim of the thesis is not to introduce all of the aspects of the social benefits or theoretical analysis of legal provision but rather practical analysis of insufficient or dysfunctional provisions or concepts of the social security law that prevent our society from faster evolution towards modern and flexible parenthood. The results of the analysis raise contradictory feelings. An enormous amount of resources as well as attention is paid to the...

Fertility changes in the context of gender revolution with focus on the man's role in the family in the Czech Republic
Koudelka, Pavel
Title: Fertility changes in the context of gender revolution with focus on the man's role in the family in the Czech republic Author: Mgr. Pavel Koudelka Department: Department of Demography and Geodemography Statistics Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Jitka Rychtaříková, CSc. Abstract: Profound changes are occurring in the relations between men and women in European families and societies, a transformation that is referred to as the 'gender revolution'. Considering the unprecedented drop in fertility, some important questions may be asked: in a more egalitarian society/family, could we expect a rise in the birth rate? Does men's participation in housework and child- care have an impact on the number of children born (in a family)? Czech society is slowly adapting to gender equality, but this is more apparent in the general mood and opinions than in the reality of households and families. We drew on two waves of a panel study Generations & Gender Survey (GGS) performed in the Czech republic and compared the information about the real involvement of men in households in which (a number of) children were born in between the waves. This is an advantage of GGS over similar studies: we have information about real- ity, real facts, and not only values and attitudes to gender equality or the number of children a...

Individual contacts of the family and the school
Urbánková, Veronika ; Viktorová, Ida (advisor) ; Smetáčková, Irena (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the analysis of the parents' point of view on the individual contacts of the family and the school. The theoretical part presents the history of the relationship development between the family and the school, the functions of socializations and competences of these institutions and the forms of contact between the family and the school with the emphasis on a specific form, so called tutorial system, based on building a confidential, open parent-child relationship and which is intended to enable educational co-operation in the upbringing of a child. The focus of this thesis is on its empirical part, realized within the qualitative methodological approach. With the help of semi-structured interviews with parents, the parents' point of view on the role and competences of the school in the educational process of the child were studied, as well as the way parents perceive a tutorial system of communication with the school. The research results suggest that parents perceive the involvement of the school in the area of childcare ambivalently, and that despite the noted positives, tutoring meetings are problematic for parents, mainly because of the unclear determination of boundaries and the definition of roles in them. Key words: school, family, competences, childcare,...

Family policy comparison in the Czech Republic and in Belgium - 1995-2016 - Work-life balance
Buchtová, Pavla ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; Bartůsková, Lucia (referee)
Work-life balance is very actual them not only of political debate due to the low fertility and more and more discussed gender equality. The aim of the thesis is a comparison of family policy in the Czech Republic, and family policy in Belgium and resulting evaluation of ability of policy to promote work-life balance environment. While Belgium belongs between countries with high fertility and high employment rate of mothers in the European Union, Czech Republic is an opposite case. Belgium creates a comprehensive system of childcare and flexible working possibilities for parents. Together it gives the opportunity for harmonization of carrier and care of family. Belgium could be an inspiration for the Czech Republic in area of family policy, where the Czech Republic still lags far behind.

Krausová, Barbora ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Kotrusová, Miriam (referee)
The objective of this thesis is to introduce the current generation of university students within the system of family policy of the Czech Republic and Sweden. The main focus is on a group of students, who got pregnant during their studies. It also points out to up to which point family policy engages in this period of their lives. The thesis' objective is also to introduce and provide with a detail view on not a particularly large group of mothers who are studying, on how they are perceived by family policies of both countries and what measures exist in the context of their situation. Both countries provide with a unique approach towards the presented situation which follows from a different evolution of family policies which are being compared. The application of tools of family policy towards student mothers in the Czech Republic and Sweden are presented on a case study. The conclusion of this thesis considers the measures which improve the situation of student mothers in Sweden and could be implemented in the Czech Republic as well.
