Metody hodnocení
Each student will choose a research question to explore during the semester, a question he/she is interested in finding out more about it. Examples of questions or topics: Sharing equally breadwinning and housework What options do people have when they need care for children or older relatives while they are at work? What are the positive and negative effects of maternal employment on children? Is there any job you would not do, no matter how much you are paid? Do you think that most people would agree with you? Do you think that people of the same sex would be more likely to agree with you than people of the opposite sex? What happens when fathers take parent leave? How have the economic roles of men and women changed? What are the life priorities of todays women and men? Careerism and motherhood are they compatible? How effective are alternative work arrangements for helping mothers combine work and family (e.g., home-based work, telecommuting, part-time work)? What are the conflicts between work and family you find in the Czech Republic? What would be the strategy for improving the lives of women and men both within their family and at their workplaces? How do work-family issues vary by social class, race and ethnicity and family structure? Why do some companies strive to become family-friendly companies? What role can legislation play in the work-family balancing process? Is it economically efficient for the governments to subsidize childcare costs? Why or why not? Should the government provide better policies addressed to all? Should the market (e.g., the private sector) be responsible for these policies? Please express your own opinion but provide convincing arguments covered by the material offered throughout the semester. You should use at least 3 academic articles or books (chapters). You can also utilize materials other than those included in the reader.
