Project Duration: 2015 - 2017
The aim of the project is to develop an intersectional approach to the study of social inequalities in Czech sociology. Intersectionality, as a theoretical framework and analytical tool to understand inequalities in society, will be used to map the impact of the economic crisis on employment. The project will answer the question which groups of population defined by the intersection of social characteristics have been most adversely affected by the impact of current economic crisis, and what the experience and coping strategies of these groups are in this dynamic process. We shall work with the interaction of the following characteristics especially: age, education, class, economic status, gender, ethnicity, nationality, family situation, and stage in the life cycle. The project applies a mixed-method approach: a) secondary analysis of representative survey and statistical data focused on groups adversely affected by the impact of the crisis, b) qualitative research focused on the intersection of disadvantaging characteristics.
