Marková Volejníčková, Romana ; Lukeš, M. ; Maříková, Hana ; Zouhar, J. ; Švarcová, Markéta ; Orel, M. ; Dvouletý, O.
The research report summarises the results of the project's activities.Namely, four expert studies focusing on platform and family entrepreneurship, start-ups and coworking. The report includes findings from a quantitative survey of self-employed and micro-entrepreneurs (up to 10 employees) and a survey focused on business start-ups and new forms of entrepreneurship. It also presents findings from two qualitative research focusing on micro-entrepreneurs' strategies for securing themselves during periods of income loss from their business in times of sickness and on low-income self-employed and their strategies for sustaining their business, e.g. during a pandemic of covid 19. Together, the sections of the report thus form a complex mosaic that reflects the precarious specificities of the self-employed and micro-entrepreneurs and points to their impacts.

The fathers on parental leave in the Czech Republic
Čechová, Pavla ; Pavlík, Petr (advisor) ; Maříková, Hana (referee)
This diploma work is focused on the situation of fathers on parental leave in the Czech Republic. The aim of research is to find out how fathers feel on their parental leave, what is positive or negative for them and how they evaluate this experience. The theoretical part describes the legislative framework of parental leave and parental allowance and explains the concepts such as femininity, masculinity, maternity and paternity. Then I deal with gender stereotypes and situation on the labour market, and their influences on the decision for starting parental leave. Then I formulate arguments for more father's participation in taking care of children. The empirical part is focused on a qualitative research. The research was realized by interviews done with 10 fathers on parental leaves, and analyzed by coding. Then I made a connection between new data and theoretical resources which are described in the first part. At the end I indicate the posibility of doins some other research, for example with both parents.

Gender aspects of presentation of science in media : Presentation of female and male scientists
Tenglerová, Hana ; Havelková, Hana (advisor) ; Maříková, Hana (referee)
Science plays an important role in society, has an authoritative position and gets considerable financial resources. The media's image is constantly shaping and influencing the perception of society at large and the scientist alone. The work focuses on how science is constructed in the media from a gender perspective, how it reflects and reproduces the gendered order of our society. Research focus here concentrates on the presentation of women and men - scientists in four major Czech newspapers. Theoretical basis of the work are constructivism and particularly feminist media theory. Metodology is based on quantitative content analysis and qualitative analysis, inspired by semiology. Analysis results show that the women scientists are in the presentation of science ignored and their contribution is reduced in many aspects. From a quantitative underrepresenation, to their higher concentration at the backsides of the papers, the less authoritative role given to them in articles or by using of motherhood as a means of distracting from their expertise: preferred representatives of medial science are male. Key words: gender, media, science.

A Permanent or Temporary Change? The Arrangement of Gender Roles in Families with Caring Fathers
Maříková, Hana ; Buriánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Kozlová, Lucie (referee) ; Kuchařová, Věra (referee)
1 Abstract: In her dissertation thesis, the author concentrates on the phenomenon of 'caring fathers'. Her primary goal was not to explicate the transformations of fatherhood but to explore whether direct and daylong childcare provided by the father leads to the elimination of gender inequalities in the family during the period when the father is involved in childcare as the primary care provider or co-provider as well as during the immediately following period when he returns to the labour market. This issue is a less explored one in Czech sociology and related sciences than the first topic even as fathers' participation in childcare and child education is considered to be one of the ways to challenge cultural and social inequalities between genders. In her work the author aims to answer the question whether in families where fathers are involved in childcare in the early stages of the child's life, gender inequalities in the family are disrupted or whether this situation constitutions a mere modification of the status quo. She asks when gender equality in families occurs (or can occur) and what the relationship is between gender equality in the family and gender inequality in larger society. The study is based on a specifically designed qualitative research study carried out in 2006 and in 2009 through...
