Jindráková, Karolína ; Slavková, Markéta (advisor) ; Zandlová, Markéta (referee)
This thesis explores the transformations in the everyday lives of Erasmus students during their study placement in Durham in the academic year 2021/2022.

The method used is secondary data analysis in the SPSS program, where bivariate (bivariate) analysis and binary logistic regression are used for data analysis. The results of the analysis show that there has been a shift towards a more equal sharing of household labour between 2013 and 2022, but it cannot be confirmed with certainty that the shift between 2020 and 2022 was influenced by the Covid 19 pandemic. It can also be confirmed that some socio-economic factors do have an impact on the division of household labour between partners. These factors include gender, education, marital status and...
