Cíle předmětu
The course aims to provide the students with a basic understanding of the impact that gender roles and inequalities have on the situation of men and women in society, mostly in the labour market. We tackle the theories about discrimination and segregation of women in the labour market and theories related to the division of labour in the household. Policies for reconciling work and family are introduced as well as the flexible forms of employment in the context of the new trends in the society. In relation to these trends, we focus on the analysis of the potential of social policies to shape and influence gender relations. Space is also given to the feminist critique of the traditional typologies of the welfare state. Furthermore, the role of employers and other actors in the field of reconciling work and family are discussed. Beside the macro-societal perspective, we also give space to the micro-societal/individual level of the analysis, where we focus on the preferences towards work-family strategies and their links to macro-level.
Výstupy z učení
At the end of this course, students become aware of the diverse forms of gender order in society and the consequences of gender differences in the field of social policy. Students become familiar with the public policies as well as with the policies of employers in the area of reconciling work and personal life both in the Czech Republic and in the EU context.
