The provision of childcare services in the Czech Republic
Křížková, Alena
The Czech Republic comes nowhere near to meeting the Barcelona targets and does not even satisfy the needs and demands of Czech parents. After 1989 childcare services for children under the age of three almost entirely disappeared and there was a drastic decrease in the number of spaces at kindergartens for children under the age of 3. While in 1989, 96% of children between the ages of 3 and 6 attended a preschool facility in 2005 the figure was 78.3%. For the future generation of “potential” parents nurseries are a more acceptable option than they are for the current generation of parents.

Gender segregation in the labour market: roots, implications and policy responses in the Czech Republic
Křížková, Alena
This study presents an analysis of the situation of the Czech Republic, a country with one of the highest levels of gender segregation in the labour market of all EU countries. The segregation of women into low-income professions, firms and employment groups plays a very important role in the Czech Republic and is the cause of approximately one-third of the gender pay gap. At present the gender segregation of the labour market is not a topic that is being discussed at the political level.
