Cíle předmětu
The course aims to provide the students with basic understanding of the impact the gender roles and inequalities have on the situation of men and women in the society, mostly in the labour market. We will tackle the theories about discrimination and segregation of women in the labour market and theories related to division of labour in the household. Policies for reconciling work and family will be introduced as well as the flexible forms of employment both in the context of the new social risks and trends in the society. In relation to these trends, we focus on the analysis of the potential of the social policies to shape and influence the gender relations. Space will be 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 will be discussed. Beside the macro-societal perspective, we will also give a space to the micro-societal/individual level of the analysis, where we basically focus on the preferences towards work-family strategies and their links to macro-level.
Výstupy z učení
The students will become sensitive to diverse forms of gender order in the society and the consequences of gender differences in the field of social policy. They will become familiar with the public policies as well as with the employers´ policies in the area of reconciling work and personal life both in the Czech Republic and in the EU context. They will be able to assess their limits and their potential, mainly in the perspective of gender equal opportunities.
