Genderové rozdíly v odměňování a rodičovství: možnosti inovace ISPV

Cílem publikace je najít cestu k tomu, jak inovovat ISPV (Informační systém o průměrném výdělku), aby na jeho základě šlo analyzovat data o vlivu rodičovství na mzdy a genderové mzdové rozdíly přímo z těchto dat.

The article ties in with the scholarship on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on gender equality. Based on a qualitative analysis of interviews with parents of children under 12, we examine the processes that led to the increase or dismantling of the gender division of labour in families during the first nationwide lockdown.
