World of Pragues Mothers on parental leave..
Brennová, Martina ; Šanderová, Jadwiga (advisor) ; Grygar, Jakub (referee)
The thesis deals with choices made by women on maternity leave living in Prague, predominantly in the area of work and family life. Women's choices do not always represent their preferences and are strongly influenced by the institutional conditions and family interests. Women's preferences are also determined by the idea of maternity preferred by them- Another focus of the thesis is the construction of symbolic boundaries between mothers and childless women. Mothers differentiate themselves from childless women based on moral criteria and from each other based on the understanding of motherhood. Mothers tend to describe maternity leave as a happy period and do not think of it as of a loss of freedom or a sacrifice. However, they admit that long-term maternity leave is stereotypical and can induce feelings of isolation. For that reason, a part of women try to break free, at least partially, from the childcare and return into the realm of adults.

In addition, the thesis stresses out the costs of Czech model application to Brazil and vice-versa. The first chapter brings a theoretical framework. It compares the analyzed policies in both countries and introduces the relevant terms. The second chapter estimates the costs of maternity and parental/paternal leave related to public expenditure and GDP for the years 2005-2014 and brings own simulation model for Czech model application to Brazil and vice-versa. The third chapter analyses the inefficiencies and suggest possible mitigation. The results show the costs of 0.71% of GDP and 1.66% of public expenditure in the Czech Republic and 0.50% GDP and 2.27% of public expenditure in Brazil in 2014. The Czech model applied in Brazil would be very costly and the opposite scenario would lead to the decrease of macroeconomic burden in the Czech Republic.

ČUŘÍNOVÁ, Martina
The bachelor thesis addresses the issue of harmonizing work and care at the time when women return back from parental leave to the labour market. 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.
