Women and labour market in relation to parenthood
KŘIKAVOVÁ, Soňa
The thesis contains a description of the current situation in combining work and family. Principally, the work focuses on women with small children who are recipients of parental allowance or maternity pay and on the system of family support, in particular, the new three-speed systém of parentel allowance. It also addresses issues faced by mothers upon their re-entry on the labour market. The work´s aim was to establish the extent to which patente take advantage of the option to select the period for which they would benefit from parental allowance and the factors influencing their choice. In order to obtain the data required, women on maternity or parental leave and allowance specialists of the state social support department at the Labour Office in Beroun have been interviewed. Quantitative as well as qualitative research methods have been used. Mothers provided information in questionnaires filled in independently by respondents, semi-controlled interviews with individual specialists have been used to obtain information from the allowance specialists at the Labour Office. The finding that resulted from the work is that, out of the three possible alternatives, the three-year alternativ eis the most frequent choice and the two-year alternative is selected by the lowest number of women. The employability of women and the number of children they take care of are the most important criteria affecting thein choice. Low interest in the two-year-olds. Therefore, predominantly women planning another child in the upcoming period who will have to resolve the situation during their next parental leave opt for the two-year alternative. The influence of the mother´s education on the choice of an alternative has not been confirmed. In order to allow mothers with small children to make full use of the new three-speed system and to accomplish the desired effect, i.e. increase in female employment rates, I would recommend, first of all, regulating the ``nurseries`` in a new way, introducing part-time jobs and shared job positions. Without these measures, the new system cannot work efficiently.

The Conclusion sums up the whole work and formulates my opinions about results of my studies. Here, I also mention my findings for potential further research. The basic methods used in my qualitative research were half-structured dialogue and open participant observation. The collected data were elaborated in eight case studies. The research sample of eight men was selected by random systematic selection. The men came from Prague and its surroundings and they were between 32 and 55 years old. The research lasted from June 2008 to April 2009. Results of my work can help to make the decision-making in family more objective in view of real benefit of one of the parents taking the parental leave. Further, the work could help overcome common taboos and find at least partial answers to questions that are new to many men.

Employment support services for women after maternity leave.
CHMELAŘOVÁ, Michaela
Women re-entering the labour market after parental leave represent one of the most vulnerable groups in the labour market. During parental leave, women frequently lose contact with their original employment. Depending on the length of parental leave, they fail, or have limited opportunities to develop their labour skills and knowledge. It happens very often, that they lose their jobs and face a very difficult life situation as they must find a new job after the termination of parental leave. This issue has been dealt with since 2004 at the regional level following the introduction of Act No. 435/2004 Coll., on employment, within the Active Employment Policy. Motivating or requalification programs focusing on this group represent an appropriate solution to this social problem. The situation of women returning to the labour market after parental leave is also the subject of the presented master thesis. The theoretical part contains historical review and describes the actual situation using an analysis of two regions and local services supporting the re-integration of women after their parental leave. The objective of the practical part is to identify key motivations for women taking part in the supporting programs during or after parental leave.

For outlining this problem, I analysed the findings of sociology related to the divorce rate, number of children born to partners who are not married or purely to the childlessness. Among the main poinst of my thesis belong the statistical data on the women´s employment and the different kinds of discrimination women could be exposed to when entering the employment and while being employed. The Thesis also contains the research which deals with the women´s views on their position in the family and the workplace.

Furthermore, I tried to find out to what extent women are content with their job and whether they have already encountered the discimination.
