The Ambiguous Experience of Motherhood in the Western Bohemian Countryside: Exploring Rural Gender Inequalities Through the Framework of Precarity
Perspectives from Central and Eastern Europe rarely find their way into the debate on rural gender inequality. In this article, I aim to mitigate this imbalance by exploring everyday arrangements of women with dependent children in a peripheralised rural region of the Czech Republic. Using an expanded framework of precarity that integrates different spheres of work, I demonstrate that in the spatial context studied, motherhood increases the social disadvantage women face while simultaneously constituting an im…

Je český „člověk panelákový“ ohroženým druhem?
Podle výsledků Sčítání lidu z roku 2011 žije zhruba čtvrtina české populace v domech postavených panelovou technologií. Ještě v roce 2001 přitom žilo v panelácích téměř 31 % lidí. Může být úbytek lidí žijících v Česku v panelácích způsoben „mediální masáží“ podobně jako v bývalém východním Německu? S opatrností lze konstatovat, že český člověk panelákový se zatím ohroženým druhem nestává a jeho vyhynutí v nejbližších letech nehrozí.Census 2011 …

Post-Socialist Housing Systems in Europe: Housing Welfare Regimes by Default?
This article develops a conceptual framework derived from welfare regime and concomitant literatures to interpret housing reform in post-socialist European countries. In it, settled power structures and collective ideologies are necessary prerequisites for the creation of distinctive housing welfare regimes with clear roles for the state, market and households. Although the defining feature of post-socialist housing has been mass-privatisation to create super-homeownership societies, the emphatic retreat of th…

Who actually decides? Parental influence on the housing tenure choice of their children
We focus on the role of within-family socialisation and the relationship between socialisation and resource transfers in the intergenerational transmission of housing preferences, the formation of familial housing attitudes and thus the reproduction of a normative housing tenure ladder across generations in Czech society. We show that resource transfers and the within-family socialisation of housing preferences, including preferences concerning housing tenure, are closely interconnected. In other words, parent…

Subjective perception versus objective indicators of overcrowding and housing affordability
This article seeks to evaluate indicators of overcrowding and housing affordability used by Eurostat and to propose alternatives that may better reflect the specific contexts of individual EU states while preserving the possibility of valuable international comparison. The alternatives are assessed on the basis of the distance between the results produced by objective measures and the subjective evaluations of the problem reported by households, using one and the same data source: EU-SILC. The results show tha…

Property restitution after 1990
Property restitution is the process in which property expropriated by communist regime was returned to the previous owners or their descendants. This chapter seeks to explain the differences between the housing restitution strategies adopted by post-socialist countries, to present in-depth case studies in four countries, and to discuss the impact of property restitution on the development of the private rental sector in these countries. Explanations for differences between approaches to housing property restit…

Poor and vulnerable households in private renting.
This chapter demonstrates that market (private) tenants differ from the rest of the population in almost all former post-socialist EU member states by their lower age and higher odds of being unemployed. However, in most countries in the sample the majority of most poor and vulnerable households tend to be homeowners or public tenants rather than tenants in private rental housing. When dwellings are offered by the private sector as rentable housing for the poor, they are often of substandard quality and locate…

Czech Republic: growth and proffesionalisation
The chapter describes the main milestones on the path of private renting growth in the Czech Republic after 1990 and a snapshot analysis of the status of the private rental sector today. The goal of this chapter is to show that specific interventions and regulations, often short-term in nature (such as property restitution, rent regulation or public housing privatization), had a significant impact on the long-term meaning of private renting in the Czech Republic, i.e. on its size, operation and affordability b…

Reasoning behind choices: rationality and social norms in the housing market behaviour of first-time buyers in the Czech Republic
The main objective of this paper is to draw attention to the influence of social norms on housing market behaviour. The research is based on an in-depth qualitative study of first-time buyers in the Czech Republic. We found systemic deviations from economically rational behaviour (as defined by mainstream housing economic theory) that stem from the influence of a dominant housing social norm about what constitutes the ‘right’ housing tenure. We show how the influence of a social norm constrains financial, …

Application of Agent-based Modelling for Estimation of Norm-based Dynamics of Housing Systems
Housing systems are mainly defined by the housing tenure structure in a particular society. We assume that choice of housing tenure is determined by economic factors, the life course and social interactions that reproduce and/or weaken the social norm that deems one housing tenure – homeownership – is superior to another housing tenure – renting. By applying agent-based modelling, we show that strong adherence to the social norm (and the transmission of this norm across generations within the family) may…

Social housing in the Czech Republic: the change of a trend?
The goal of this paper is (1) to describe the history and the most recent development of the social housing system in the Czech Republic and (2) to critically assess earlier and recent attempts to solve the lack of a social housing strategy in this country. In general, the paper is meant to contribute to the literature on the housing policy formulation in countries in transition, from planning to market economy, and thus provide an insight into the main factors that may explain unsustainability and the weaknes…

Restitution refers here to the process of returning property or compensating for property expropriated by the communist regime to its previous owners or their descendants. This paper provides a brief overview, assessment and categorisation of housing property restitution policies using a sample of 14 post-socialist countries, but it primarily aims …

Rovní v příjmech, nerovní v majetku? Nerovnosti ve vlastnickém bydlení v ČR.
Stať je věnována problematice majetkových nerovností jako doposud v České republice spíše opomíjené ose sociálních nerovností. Majetkové nerovnosti a jejich vývoj v čase jsou v tomto textu měřeny na základě hodnoty nemovitého majetku (bytu či domu), v němž domácnost žije. Hodnota nemovitého majetku domácností v ČR v uplynulých desetiletích významně vzrostla, kromě toho Češi stále více upřednostňují vlastnické bydlení na úkor jiných forem právního důvodu užív…

Based on the theory of local opportunity structures, the authors identify various aspects of the spatial context that intersect with individual handicaps of people and their households and contribute to poverty and social exclusion. Moreover, coping strategies of vulnerable rural inhabitants are investigated.…

Where Have All the Rural Poor Gone? Explaining the Rural–Urban Poverty Gap in European Countries
This article contributes to explanations of rural poverty and deprivation by focusing on the rural–urban poverty and deprivation gap in European countries. Using European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions data, it confirms, convincingly, the limited validity of the argument for universally increased poverty and deprivation levels in rural areas in Europe, and demonstrates that the disparities are related to four theoretically elaborated factors: increased rural poverty can be observed in count…

Poverty and Social Exclusion in Diversified Rural Contexts
This paper is summarising the state of the art of rural poverty and social exclusion research and the current developments in the field, and it proposes new research agendas. In particular, the importance of further Europeanisation and internationalisation of rural poverty research is emphasised to reduce the bias and oversimplification inherent in the tendency to apply concepts derived from the Anglo-Saxon reality to other European countries. It is recognised that rural poverty not only constitutes a quantita…
