Project summary:
This project will examine the Dynamics of Change in Czech Society using a household panel survey research design. Applying insights from sociology, economics and politics this study will examine five themes: Family life, time use and income management Education and the labour market Social stratification Housing choices and inequalities and Political participation and civil society. Within the framework of a Household Panel Survey, theories and models of many facets of social change will be examined using individuals’ attitudes, preferences and behaviour within the context of the household. Time use data and repeated surveys of children will provide evidence of how daily life is spent and the process of socialisation where the next generation of citizens is prepared for participation in Czech society. Advanced statistical methods will be used to test explanatory models. This project will both chart the process of social change and contribute to the training of the next generation of Czech social scientists.
