Obedient mothers, healthy children: communication on the risks of reproduction in state-socialist Czechoslovakia
Článek analyzuje expertní lékařskou komunikaci v populárních médiích týkající se rizik v reprodukci ve státně-socialistickém Československu v letech 1948 až 1989 a ukazuje, jak využívala emoce jako nástroj kontroly reprodukčního chování žen. Konkrétně používáme přístup inspirovaný Donatiho (1992) analýzou politického diskurzu a rámcovou analýzou Snowa a Bedforda (1988), abychom prozkoumali komunikaci o riziku neplodnosti v debatě o potratech, riziku fetálních abnormalit …
Czech Parents Under Lockdown: Different Positions, Different Temporalities
Prostřednictvím intersekcionálního přístupu zkoumáme, jak se rodiče v České republice vyrovnávali se zvýšenými nároky na péči o děti a jak se jejich vnímání péče o děti změnilo v průběhu pandemie COVID-19. V návaznosti na teorii sociálního rozporu kapitalismu Nancy Fraser se zabýváme otázkou, zda lze pandemickou situaci vnímat jako příležitost ke zvýšení uznání péče. Kvalitativní rozhovory s rodiči z různých socioekonomických prostředí provedené od jara 2020 …
What happened to my time during the COVID-19 lockdown? Parents’ subversive temporal regime strategies and their potential beyond the pandemic
Jak nám pandemie změnila čas? Pandemie zásadně proměnila vnímání času – práce, péče o děti a domácnost se často slévaly v jeden celek. Studie zkoumá, jak si rodiče během lockdownu přizpůsobovali své denní režimy a jaké strategie využívali, aby zvládli každodenní život. Autorky studie se však nezaměřily jen na výzvy, ale také na možnosti, jak tyto nově vytvořené strategie mohou pomoci i v postpandemickém světě.…
New Technologies, Older Workers in Banking and Nursing
The article examines how technological change and organisational restructuring interacts with population ageing and policies that extend working life, and how older workers understand these trends. Using organisational and contextual approaches and qualitative research on nurses and bankers in Czechia, we investigate older workers' experiences with digitalisation. The age disadvantage older workers experience in digitalising workplaces is produced by three processes: responsibilisation, production of insecurit…

Obedient mothers, healthy children: communication on the risks of reproduction in state-socialist Czechoslovakia
The article analyses medical communication in popular media relating to the risks in reproduction in the state-socialist Czechoslovakia between 1948 and 1989 and shows how it used emotions as an instrument to control women’s reproductive behaviour. In particular, we use an approach inspired by Donati’s (1992) political discourse analysis and by Snow and Bedford’s (1988) framing analysis to explore communication on the risk of infertility in the abortion debate, the risk of fetal abnormalities in the pren…

It aims to be a document of proposals and measures of public policies that can be taken into consideration, both in the 27 countries of the European Union (EU27) and in their relationship with their partners in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), to increase women's participation into the labour market in a stable and equitable manner.…

Gender a změny v dělbě práce v domácnostech s dětmi v době pandemie covidu-19
The article ties in with the scholarship on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on gender equality. Based on a qualitative analysis of interviews with parents of children under 12, we examine the processes that led to the increase or dismantling of the gender division of labour in families during the first nationwide lockdown. Using the concepts of path dependency and ‘doing’ and ‘undoing’ gender, we explain the strategies couples with children used to adapt to the enormous increase in reproductive wor…

Péče jako individuální odpovědnost a prohloubení ekonomického znevýhodnění sólo matek v pandemii covid-19
The Covid-19 pandemic had a particularly severe impact on people in a vulnerable position, such as solo mothers living alone with their children. In this article I use an intersectional approach in order to understand how their different positions in life affected their ability to cope with the crisis situation. I present a longitudinal qualitative study of the situation of solo mothers in the Czech Republic during the Covid-19 crisis, based on repeated interviews with women from three Czech regions. The preli…

Cash for Care as Special Money: The Meaning and Uses of the Care Allowance in Close Relationships in the Czech Republic
Investigating what happens when money in the form of a cash-for-care benefit enters family relationships, this article examines long-term family care in the Czech Republic where a “care allowance” was introduced in 2007. It compares two qualitative studies: one of adult children providing care to their parents and the other of mothers caring for a disabled child in both cases, the adults are entitled to the benefit. The studies used narrative and in-depth interviews with forty-eight informal caregivers. Da…

Children of the state? The role of pronatalism in the development of Czech childcare and reproductive health policies
The chapter explores how pronatalism has influenced the formation of reproductive and care policies in Czechia. It shows that the pronatalist framing has been selective in the historical as well as the present-day debates on reproduction. Although pronatalist framing presents itself as resting on statistical evidence of decreasing, low, or insufficiently rising fertility, the analysis shows that how the situation at a given time is defined has been more important than the actual birth rate (trend) itself. It a…

Muži a ženy pečující o seniory v rodině
Current data show that most elderly care in the Czech Republic, as well as worldwide, is provided by family members and in most cases women. Men also provide care, but they are less likely to do so, the intensity of the care they do provide is not as great, and the care activities they engage in are of a different type than those performed by women. This article seeks to answer two questions: What share of Czech women and men are caring for an elderly member in the family? Do the experiences of sons and daught…

Disentangling the link between having one child and partnership trajectories: a mixed-methods lifecourse research
This article explores the relationships between partnership trajectories and having an only child. Few studies have focused on one-child families, even though in many countries having just one child is the main factor driving sub-replacement fertility levels. Little is known especially about how non-progression to a second child relates to partnership trajectories. This article contributes to filling these gaps by using a mixed-methods life-course research. We combine sequence and regression analyses of survey…

Selective pronatalism in childcare and reproductive health policies in Czechoslovakia
The paper discusses how selective pronatalism has been incorporated into childcare and reproductive health policies in the socialist state of Czechoslovakia (1948–1989). It answers the question of how pronatalist framing has been used to categorise ‘others’, whose procreation has been deemed undesirable. It pays attention to the ways limitations on women’s bodily and social citizenship were used as a tool of selective pronatalism, as well as how the pronatalist framing was linked to the framing of wome…

Příspěvek na péči jako „zvláštní peníze“: chápání a užívání příspěvku na péči v blízkých vztazích
The paper presents the comparative results of two qualitative researches on long-term informal family care in the Czech Republic: one researching the life strategies of women caring for their elderly parents and the other researching women caring for a child with a disability. The interviews with the two groups of caregivers make it possible to compare the ways in which people in different caring situations interpret and use the same state benefit intended for people who need personal long-term care. The analy…

Doing gender and age: The case of informal elderly care in the Czech Republic
This article seeks to describe and explain some of the factors behind the prevalence of women in informal care for seniors. It presents a qualitative study of women who are caring for a frail elderly parent in the Czech Re-public. Care is seen as a space where gender and other intersecting identi-ties are performed and this has specific subjective, structural and material consequences. The author draws on biographical interviews with women caregivers and shows how they “do gender and age” in their narrativ…

Precarious work and care responsibilities in the economic crisis
Economic transformation after 1989 and the global economic recession that began in 2008 have caused an increase in precarious work in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. As a result of refamilialization, precarious work acquired a specific form for women. We use the Czech Republic as an example in analysing a trend that is obvious throughout the Visegrád countries and apply the capabilities approach to understand the dynamics of precarious work in the lives of women with care responsibilities.

Proč ženy pečují? Gender a neformální péče o seniory
Na základě kvalitativního výzkumu žen, které v minulosti pečovaly nebo pečují o své stárnoucí matky, popisujeme a vysvětlujeme faktory vedoucí k převaze žen v neformální rodinné péči o seniory. Vycházíme z teorie Sandry Harding a Joan W. Scott, které definují gender jako kategorii fungující na několika vzájemně propojených úrovních. Na základě analýzy biografických rozhovorů ukazujeme, jaké kulturní a strukturní faktory ovlivňují ženy v rozhodnutí poskytovat péči,…
