  • Constructions of breadwinning in Czech society after 1989

Project Duration: 2009 - 2011

Category: Projects
The  project concentrates on the phenomenon of breadwinning in the Czech Republic after 1989 which has not been so far systematically researched in Czech sociology and which is firmly linked to many areas of social reality, especially to the organization of individuals’ private life, functioning of the family as a social institution and gender relations among partners in the family. ‘Breadwinning’ has not been problematised in sociology or in public discourse although it is a socially constructed phenomenon which influences the formation, reproduction and legitimation of social and gender inequalities in the family and on the labour market. Understanding the ways in which breadwinning is constructed in contemporary society may help unveil the nature of these inequalities and the resulting power relations.
