Unpaid housework and its impact on the labour market in the Czech republic
Daňová, Lenka ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Miskolczi, Martina (referee)
This thesis aims to find out the range of unpaid work in the Czech Republic and whether there are significant gender differences in the terms of unpaid work. This target was reached by evaluating experience from abroad, specifically from the research of OECD, research of HETUS and research based on a survey in the Slovakia in 2011. Measure of unpaid work in the Czech Republic was determined by present surveys, but was mainly based on my own survey. The thesis also contains a theoretical part that specifies the importance and influence of unpaid work. Gender inequalities in society but mainly in the labour market were also specified. This thesis summarises past results of surveys that addressed the topic of unpaid work. The main asset of my work is the research in the Czech Republic, which is directly focused on the range of unpaid work as there only had been series of research that dealt with unpaid work briefly. Another benefit of this work is proposing possible amendments because the assumption that women spend more time on unpaid work than men was confirmed. These changes could help to compensate the inequality.

Unpaid work in the Czech Republic
Daňová, Lenka ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Cséfalvaiová, Kornélia (referee)
This work aims to find out the range of unpaid work in the Czech Republic, specifically in the capital city Prague and its surroundings and to find out the measure of unpaid work of women and men, and if there are significant gender differences in the terms of unpaid work. I tried to reach this target by evaluating experience from abroad, mainly from OECD and research based on a survey in the Slovakia in 2011. In the Czech Republic I reached my aim through previously run surveys, but mainly based on my survey questionnaire, realized in Prague and in its surroundings. The work also contains a theoretical part, in which I tried to specify importance of unpaid work and gender inequalities mainly in the labour market. In the work, I summarize past results of surveys that addressed the issue of unpaid work. The main asset of my work is research in the Czech Republic, as there has not been any similar survey done by now. The benefit is also proposing possible amendments because the assumption that women spend more time on unpaid work than men was confirmed. These changes could help the inequality to compensate.
