Participation in organized leisure among Czech children: sociocultural and ecological contexts and outcomes

Organised leisure activities constitute an important source of experience for school-age children in the Czech Republic. Based on data collected in a longitudinal study, the aim of this paper is to explore two issues. Firstly, to what extent is children’s participation in extracurricular activities (EAs) influenced by individual level factors that are determined by family’s social status (parental education). Our approach extends this question by asking whether and how ecological factors influence EAs part…

Do low minimum wages disserve workers? A case study of the Czech and Slovak Republics

Do low minimum wages disserve workers? A case study of the Czech and Slovak Republics

This article analyses the effects of minimum wage on employment in the Czech and Slovak Republics based on 2005–17 EU-SILC data. Our results contribute to the scant literature on minimum wage effects in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region. While prior empirical findings concurred with the effects of minimum wage on labour market outcomes in CEE countries when the minimum wage is relatively high, there is ambiguity when the minimum wage is relatively low. In Slovakia we find that regular minimum wag…

Pražská panelová sídliště jako místa protikladů

Pražská panelová sídliště jako místa protikladů

Pražská panelová sídliště jsou místa, kde se protíná mnoho protikladů: na jednu stranu jsou ceněna pro to, že zajistila praktické a relativně málo nákladné bydlení pro velký počet obyvatel, na druhou stranu byla často kritizována pro mnoho dílčích nedostatků i pro svůj celkový urbanistický koncept. Pro své obyvatele se mohou zdát jako místa, která se příliš nemění, místa, která jsou v jistém smyslu známá a obyčejná. Tato zdánlivá neměnnost se projevuje předevš…

Voľnočasové aktivity v Slovenskej a Českej republike: sú faktory, ktoré ich ovplyvňujú, národne špecifické?

Leisure Activities in Slovakia and the Czech Republic: Are the Factors that Influence them Nationally Specific?This article focuses on the factors that influence leisure time in Slovakia and the Czech Republic by using a dataset from coordinated surveys on leisure time carried out in 2016 (Slovakia) and 2011 (Czech Republic). We show the internal structure of leisure activities determined by the social logic of cultural taste. Amongst more than 20 activities examined, we identify three basic spheres–active l…

Partner preference and age: User’s mating behavior in online dating

Previous studies have focused primarily on age differences between couples and their self-reported preferences for partners of a certain age. However, little is known abou…

Partner Selection Across the Life-Course: Age Variation in Partner Preferences in the Czech Republic

Partner Selection Across the Life-Course: Age Variation in Partner Preferences in the Czech Republic

The proportion of people seeking a partner later in life has increased in recent decades. However, studies exploring age variation in partner preferences are quite rare. We aim to fill this gap by examining the partner preferences for household care skills, financial resources, and education of unpartnered individuals aged 19–65 years (n = 1145) who participated in speed-dating events in the Czech Republic. We hypothesized that the importance of these characteristics varies with age, and that this variance m…

Equivalence scale and income  poverty: Two approaches how to estimate country-specific scale for the Czech Republic

Equivalence scale and income poverty: Two approaches how to estimate country-specific scale for the Czech Republic

The at-risk-of-poverty rate, the relative income poverty indicator applied in the EU, can be highly sensitive to the equivalence scale used to transform household income to an equivalent for individuals. This study applies two well-established approaches to estimate the equivalence scale: an ‘objective’ one, based on consumption expenditures available in the national Household Budget Survey, and a ‘subjective’ one, based on the Minimum Income Question available in EU–Statistics on Income and Living C…

Rozdíl v odměňování žen a mužů a rodičovství. [The gender pay gap and parenthood.]

ČR vykazuje dlouhodobě jeden z nejvyšších rozdílů v průměrných mzdách mužů a žen (GPG) v rámci EU. Za příčinu vy-sokého GPG bývá v ČR často považována rozdílná úroveň vzdělání anebo segregace do kategorií zaměstnání. Segrega-ce do kategorií zaměstnání nicméně vysvětluje pouze asi čtvrtinu celkového rozdílu mezd a ženy dosahují vyššího vzdě-lání než muži. Článek se proto zaměřuje na otázku dalších faktorů, jež s GPG souvisí, a klade si konkrétn…

Výzkum veřejného mínění před rokem 1989: služba vědě, státnímu aparátu a veřejnosti.

The article deals with the public opinion research before 1989 in then Czechoslovakia. The most important public opinion research institution of its time is the subject of discussed analysis, i.e. The Institute for Public Opinion Research, which operated in the framework of several institutional arrangements during the period 1946 to 1990 (in the 1970s also with the name changed to the Public Opinion Research Cabinet). In the text, we focus on the role of public opinion research from its beginnings in 1946 unt…

Násilí na ženách v souvislosti s covid-19

Násilí na ženách v souvislosti s covid-19

Výzkum na téma Násilí na ženách v souvislosti s COVID-19 vznikl jako reakce na nastalou pandemickou situaci v roce 2020. Díky tomu, že obě výzkumnice byly díky své předchozí činnosti v pravidelném kontaktu s nestátními neziskovými organizacemi, které se v oblasti domácího násilí pohybují – konkrétně Acorus, ROSA a proFem – se k nim záhy po začátku pandemie v roce 2020 dostaly informace o tom, jak nesourodé jsou informace o situaci uvnitř systému pomoci obětem domácího n…

Comparing Citizen Attitudes towards Security and Liberty in the Czech Republic and Slovakia

The article focuses on the relationship between security and privacy from the point of view of a citizen. It examines Czech and Slovak citizen attitudes toward the use of strong prevention security measures in a situation where the government suspects a terrorist attack or security threats in general. The authors focus on the Czech Republic and Slovakia, two countries that do not have much experience with a severe threat to security, so security is more about pre-emptive measures and general consideration. Dat…
