Cíle předmětu
This course examines the complex relationships between paid work and family life. Major demographic, economic, and social changes within the past decades have produced substantial changes in the home and in the work place. The discipline also emerged due to the fact that more women and particularly mothers have entered into the workforce. Work and family linkages have multiple implications for individuals, families, and the community. The field of work-family concerns interactions between commitment to employment and family. It also includes issues such as division of housework between men and women, leisure time and activities, and gender roles. The course aims to integrate gender relations into the analysis of family, employment and social policies in order to examine the reconciliation of work and family. The course will also question the specific workplace-related policies: welfare policies, parental leave, childcare and working time policies. The outcomes of the course consists in the understanding of the historical, demographic, and economic forces, which have driven work-family issues to the forefront, and the identification and description of the current state of research and theory in the work- family literature.
