Vnitřní periferie v Česku: Multidimenzionalita sociálního vyloučení ve venkovských oblastech.

The spatial concentration of social disadvantage in rural areas not only poses a risk to social cohesion but also represents a challenge for public policy. This article draws on a multidimensional concept of disadvantage to study spatial aspects of disadvantage in Czech rural areas. Current studies aimed at identifying ‘inner peripheries’ as areas with an increased risk of social exclusion fail to distinguish between different forms of disadvantage. Their methodological approach blends regions struggling w…

Precarious work and care responsibilities in the economic crisis

Economic transformation after 1989 and the global economic recession that began in 2008 have caused an increase in precarious work in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. As a result of refamilialization, precarious work acquired a specific form for women. We use the Czech Republic as an example in analysing a trend that is obvious throughout the Visegrád countries and apply the capabilities approach to understand the dynamics of precarious work in the lives of women with care responsibilities. Neithe…

The year 2012 brought two main changes: a significant success of the Communist Party and a rise of regional parties, movements and coalitions. Thus, the paper looks at differences between strong well-established parties and the newly successful Communist part…

Impact of Primary and Secondary Social Origin Factors on the Transition to University in the Czech Republic

The main objective of this paper is to show to what extent and why students with the same academic aptitude but different social backgrounds have different odds of entering university. For our analysis, we separated primary and secondary factors of social origin in the formation of educational inequalities (Boudon 1974). The results show that the primary and secondary factors have approximately the same influence on the transition to university. The Czech schools do not affect the process of forming educationa…

From Quantitative to Qualitative Differences: Testing MMI and EMI in the Czech Secondary School System in the First Decade of the 21st Century

This article examines secondary education in the Czech Republic between 2000 and 2010. We analyzed the consequences of educational expansion on odds to achieve secondary education with a school-leaving certificate (SLC) by social origin. We utilize the theories of maximally maintained inequality – MMI (Raftery & Hout, 1993) and effectively maintained inequality – EMI (Lucas, 2001). We analyzed data from PISA 2000 to 2009 for the Czech Republic. We support EMI theory against MMI. Quantitative (vertical) dif…

Mezigenerační proměny způsobu života na Hlučínsku

Kniha se zabývá tím, jak se v průběhu tří generací (z)měnil pospolitý, pracovní, rodinný a náboženský život na Hlučínsku. Je zaměřena na období zhruba od konce druhé světové války po současnost. Zahrnuje tedy více než šedesát let, během kterých obyvatelé Hlučínska uzavírali sňatky, vychovávali děti, stavěli domy, chodili do kostela, modlili se, pracovali, utvářeli svou regionální identitu, tedy žili své dny všední i sváteční.

Srovnatelnost postojových škál v komparativním výzkumu

Komparativní sociální výzkumy procházejí již dlouhá desetiletí dynamickým rozvojem a stále se ukazuje, že jeden z nejdůležitějších aspektů jejich kvality je ekvivalence dat. Stále však mnozí sociální vědci analyzují svá data bez vědomí toho, jaké úrovně srovnatelnosti vlastně dosahují. Cílem této studie je podrobně představit problematiku ekvivalence postojových škál a poskytnout přehled o dostupných kvantitativních technikách, kterými lze ekvivalenci testovat.…
