Rovnováha mezi rodinným a pracovním životem: analýza účinnosti opatření v České republice a vybraných zemích v letech 2012 - 2022

Through the method of analysis and comparison, this thesis examines measures to facilitate the harmonisation of work and family life in the Czech Republic, Sweden, the Netherlands and Belgium in the period of 2012-2022. In the light of the conducted research the thesis comes to the following conclusions. The significantly longer parental leave, coupled with its low flexibility, puts mothers in the Czech Republic at a disadvantage when returning to work. This is supported by the lack of availability of pre-school facilities and low use of reduced working hours compared to Belgium or the Netherlands. Compared to Sweden, there is also a low level of care sharing between parents. These factors thus contribute significantly to the negative impact of motherhood on the employment of this at-risk group. With regard to the identified shortcomings in the area of work-family balance in the Czech Republic, the thesis provides recommendations that are inspired by measures implemented in the surveyed countries.
