Social Aspects of the Life of Single Mothers
ČUŘÍNOVÁ, Martina
The thesis deals with the issue of single parenthood from the perspective of women mothers. The main aim of the thesis was to survey the attitude of lone mothers - mothers of minor children - to the single parenthood. To generally describe the impact, which a termination of a partnership may have on a lone woman a mother raising minor child/children. What living circumstances she has to face and what lifestyle they chose at this stage of their lives. And finally, what forms of help they use. The text is divided into two parts theoretical and practical one. First chapter of the theoretical part deals with the family and its mission, what functions the family should fulfil in relation to its individual members and what could be the results if these functions are disrupted. The chapter is completed with the view of parenthood, which significantly changes the proper functioning of a family. Chapter two describes the crisis in partnership or marriage resulting in single parenthood. Furthermore, various forms related to child care after separation of partners are mentioned as well as potential impacts of the separation on the family. The third chapter discusses the maintenance and potential support, which single mother may receive from the state, surroundings or family. Finally, the chapter assesses the potential of women single mothers on the labour market. For the practical part of the thesis, a questioning technique was chosen and used in semi-structured interviews. The examined group consisted of fifteen women single mothers, aged 25-55, living in the district of Písek, having been at least six months after a divorce/separation and taking care of minor children. Women, who involuntarily become single mothers due to the partner´s death, were not included in the examined group. In connection with the thesis objective, two survey questions were asked: "How do lone women mothers of minor children - deal with single parenthood?" and "What support provided by the family, surroundings or the state do the lone women mothers of minor children use?". The survey has revealed that the majority of communication partners faces difficult financial situation caused by the loss of a second income or generally deteriorated potential on the labour market due to the necessity to combine work and child care without the support of the second partner and in many cases due to the improper fulfilment of maintenance obligations by fathers. Almost half of the communication partners has experienced such a situation, when the obliged parent fails to fulfil his maintenance obligation properly. Among other issues connected with the single parenthood, many communication partners mentioned the feeling of loneliness, lack of the father´s interest in his children, compromises they have to make when choosing a job or activities for their leisure time. The survey has shown that majority of the communication partners spends most of their leisure time by taking care of children or the household. The thesis may be used as a study material for students with social and legal specialization, as an introduction to the issue. In addition, women who experienced divorce/separation may utilize it as one of prospective manuals for the solution to their difficult situation.

Main aim of the thesis was to identify obstacles women encounter on the labour market at the end of parental leave or right after the end of parental leave as well as the internal and external barriers of women, harmonization of maternity and employment. The text is divided in two parts theoretical and practical one. Theoretical part of the bachelor thesis deals with the history of family and family policies. It concerns functions that the family should fulfil as well as the meaning and value of a family for an individual. First chapter is finished with the view of the current family policy. Second chapter considers the possibility of financial provisions from state in time of the social events of pregnancy, delivery and maternity. Third chapter describes the position of women on the labour market perceived both from the historical and present views. Last chapter of the theoretical part presents the possibilities for harmonization of work and care offered to families in the Czech Republic at present. For the practical part of the bachelor thesis, a technique of semi-structured interview was applied. Research set consisted of six women-mothers within the age of 33-38 living in Písek district, who are on parental leave at present or have recently finished the leave. In connection with the aim, the main research question was determined: "How do women experience return from parental leave back to the labour market?" and was answered with the help of other three auxiliary research questions concerning priorities of women with regard to harmonization of work and care, experience of women with various obstacles on the labour market due to parenthood and division of labour within families of such women. The interviews implied that all women would always prefer family to work. However, they need a reliable partner and as far as possible functional wider family background, chance to use kindergartens as well as before and after school care for children of younger school age or at least the possibility to use the service of babysitting. All the women would welcome the option to work part-time after parental leave, nevertheless it is prevented by the unwillingness of most employees to allow for some form of flexible work. The thesis may be beneficial for any women-mothers of small children as it offers possibility to compare their feelings with other similar women with children and the way women from the research set succeed in the demanding task of harmonizing work and care and how they prepare for the return to the labour market.
