Parental Choice and Caring for Children in the Czech Republic and Slovakia

Project Duration: 2010 - 2011

Category: Projects

The study will contribute to the long-standing social scientific debate over the role of culture and institutions in influencing behaviour by looking at the case of family policies. We will conduct interviews with families in the Czech and Slovak Republic, to ascertain how cultural values and state policies influence their decisions about caring for their pre-school children.
