The provision of childcare services in the Czech Republic
Křížková, Alena
The Czech Republic comes nowhere near to meeting the Barcelona targets and does not even satisfy the needs and demands of Czech parents. After 1989 childcare services for children under the age of three almost entirely disappeared and there was a drastic decrease in the number of spaces at kindergartens for children under the age of 3. While in 1989, 96% of children between the ages of 3 and 6 attended a preschool facility in 2005 the figure was 78.3%. For the future generation of “potential” parents nurseries are a more acceptable option than they are for the current generation of parents.

The main sources of reference are data from the ČSÚ and various other statistical indicators. Based on these data a comparison will be done between both sexes connected to several case studies from selected countries of the European Union.
