Representation of Gender Inequality in Czech Lifestyle Magazines for Men
Jacobs, Diana ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Miessler, Jan (referee)
The thesis focuses on representation of gender inequality in Czech lifestyle magazines for men. The main research question explores the ways in which men's magazines represent the issues of gender inequality. The research method used in this thesis is qualitative content analysis by Anselm Strauss and Juliet Corbin. The sample contains selected articles from Czech versions of the men's magazines Maxim and Esquire, covering all of 2016. The open coding process enabled labeling of the analyzed phenomena, discovering the prominent categories and their dimensions. Axial coding resulted in the reorganization of the categories, which emerged during open coding, by exploring the relationships between the categories and making connections between them. Selective coding identified the central phenomenon of the research. Male Dominance emerged as the core category, integrating the other categories - Manifestations of Gender Inequality, Men's Fear of Gender Equality and Partial Refutation of the Masculine Perspective - around the central phenomenon. The theories used as the sources of the enhancement of theoretical sensitivity are explored and presented in the theoretical part of this thesis. The research concludes that the analyzed lifestyle magazines for men spread negative gender stereotypes and...

The Role and Learning of Women at Work: a Critical view
Švarcová, Michaela ; Kopecký, Martin (advisor) ; Šerák, Michal (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyse various critical theoretical approaches towards women's role and learning at work. My research focuses on education-related gender inequalities at work and in relation to working conditions. This topic is then put into the context of critical approaches and theories. The aspects explored are the feminist views on the subject which differ according to individual movements, as well as the ongoing transformation of work; in this regard, the research deals with concrete phenomena, such as individualization and unequal distribution of social risks, and explores the way they are seen in terms of individual critical approaches. The thesis also describes and analyses the work of Iris Marion Young. An American socialist feminist, Young is the author of the theory of justice. Last but not least, the thesis examines how work, experience and learning are conceptualised in contemporary critical-oriented andragogical research in the area of gender-related issues at work.

Hanzlová, Radka ; Špaček, Ondřej (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Marie (referee)
The thesis deals with the gender inequalities in sport, specifically with the inadequate representation of women in management and decision-making positions in national sport organisations. The main aim of the thesis is, through the gender structure of members and management positions, to capture the gender aspects of sports culture, besides other things in time perspective, through which it is possible to consider the stability or change. On the basis of the carried out quantitative research, in which first the typology of sport organisations using the cluster analysis was created and then consequently the results of the gender analysis of the management structure were applied to it. It is possible to claim that sport organisations contribute to maintaining the masculine culture of sport. The main indicator is the predominance of men both in membership and mainly in the management of sport organisations, in which men strongly dominate, apart from sports, which are explicitly considered as feminine. In the background of the discovered results lies the gender significance of sport in society, i.e. whether it is a men's or women's sport, as well as the organisational culture of each sport organisation, which is closely linked with the social policy of the given country. The results of the thesis, which...

The impact of family policy on labour market efficiency
Schneider, Jan ; Filipová, Alena (advisor) ; Marksová, Michaela (referee)
The thesis called "The impact of family policy on labour market efficiency" deals with the relation between family policy and the labour market, specifically with the economic gender inequality and the impact of parenthood on the economic status of families. While analyzing this relation it describes the historical development and the current situation of the labour market in the Czech Republic, with specific attention dedicated to the position of women and the possibilities of harmonizing work and motherhood. The situation in the Czech Republic is not only compared to the Visegrad countries and Germany, but general trends in other EU and OECD countries as well. The thesis clarifies the development of family policy in the Czech Republic and describes the current family-specific policy measures. It looks closely at the area of childcare services, which has strong impact on the position of parents, specifically mothers, in the labour market. In the last part of the thesis, the author evaluates the currently proposed and discussed family policy changes based on the acquired information, and analyses them as far as their impact and relation to the labour market are concerned. The author then provides additional suggestions stemming from both the acquired information and his own experience.

Unpaid work in the Czech Republic
Daňová, Lenka ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Cséfalvaiová, Kornélia (referee)
This work aims to find out the range of unpaid work in the Czech Republic, specifically in the capital city Prague and its surroundings and to find out the measure of unpaid work of women and men, and if there are significant gender differences in the terms of unpaid work. I tried to reach this target by evaluating experience from abroad, mainly from OECD and research based on a survey in the Slovakia in 2011. In the Czech Republic I reached my aim through previously run surveys, but mainly based on my survey questionnaire, realized in Prague and in its surroundings. The work also contains a theoretical part, in which I tried to specify importance of unpaid work and gender inequalities mainly in the labour market. In the work, I summarize past results of surveys that addressed the issue of unpaid work. The main asset of my work is research in the Czech Republic, as there has not been any similar survey done by now. The benefit is also proposing possible amendments because the assumption that women spend more time on unpaid work than men was confirmed. These changes could help the inequality to compensate.
