Maternity Leave in the Czech Republic: Implications for Women's Workforce Inclusion

This thesis examines the maternity leave policies in the Czech Republic and their implications for women's workforce inclusion. By exploring women's experiences with maternity leave and their return to work, the study aims to understand the effectiveness of these policies in promoting job satisfaction and career advancement. Through a combination of theoretical analysis and semi-structured in-depth interviews with women from a specific company, the research highlights the challenges and support systems available for working mothers. The findings reveal a need for more flexible working arrangements such as home office and child care systems to facilitate a smoother transition back to work. The study provides valuable insights and recommendations for policymakers and businesses to enhance gender equality in the workplace.
