Event history modelling techniques have become increasingly widespread in the social sciences over the last few decades and the range of applications includes demographic and sociological analyses, labour market studies, mobility and migration studies, as well as analyses within political science. In principle, event history analysis represents an extension of the statistical techniques connected with the life table method and can be defined as an analysis of the duration of the non-occurrence of a given event during a risk period. This article devotes attention to the concept of event history analysis in terms of data considerations, basic principles and methods of analysis. In order to discuss the basic methods and their potential to interpret results, the author applied the event-history approach to an analysis of the process of leaving the parental home using data from the Czech Generations and Gender Survey [2005]. The final part of this study discusses some key issues involved in using the event history approach when analysing socio-demographic topics within the Czech context.

The aim of this article is to present a specific method for the study of the life-course, which focuses on life-course trajectories as a whole through the use of sequence analysis. In the first part, two approaches for the quantitative analysis of the life-course are distinguished: an event-oriented perspective and a trajectory-based (holistic) perspective. The holistic perspective is based on sequence analysis and more specifically on optimal matching. The trajectory-based perspective does not focus on single life events, but on whole sequences of events. In the second part, using the Czech wave of the ISSP 2002 dataset, which includes partnership and family histories, this article presents several examples of the use of sequence analysis of family trajectories. This study shows that sequence analysis can help identify patterns associated with typical and distinctive life-course trajectories

Paid domestic labor has experienced a remarkable growth since the 1980s - although in the 1970s many authors predicted the slow disappearance of domestic workers as a professional group parallel to the rise of the industrial societies. This new Renaissance of paid domestic work is inseparable from the global movement of labor - the overwhelming majority of paid domestic workers migrate from the developing countries to the developed, advanced capitalist world in the hope of higher wages and a better life. The paper introduces and critically evaluates the major paradigms of paid domestic work with respect to how they can inform the analysis of this contemporary social phenomenon. The review of the main paradigms of the English literature is expected to contribute to further empirical fieldwork in Hungary.
