The Issue of Balancing Work and Family
HRDLIČKOVÁ, Gabriela
In recent decades, Czech society is undergoing major changes, mainly political and social. There are changes in legislation, private business and foreign companies enter the market. The structure of the industry is changing, there is demand for new professions. This requires changes in the education system, some companies disappear, unemployment rises and new social phenomena appear. This thesis focuses on important changes relating to families, children and work. I want to point out how it is increasingly difficult to reconcile work and family life with current opportunities in the job market, economic difficulties and lack of childcare facilities. There are changes in the attitude towards family, traditions and the perception of the world. The demography is changing, the age to start the family is shifting; people focuse more on personal benefits and safety. Emphasis is put on achieved education, building a professional career. The problematic of gender becomes part of our lives and affects the traditional distribution of roles in our society. The aim of this theses is to find how families overcome these obstacles in their lives and to show which problems bring the greatest burden on them.
