The article provides information on parental leave taken by fathers in the Czech Republic in comparison with the situation in other European countries. Above all, a concrete assessment based on the experience of families in which men have already taken advantage of parental leave are described; only briefly are mentioned attitudes of Czech parents generally towards parental leave taken by fathers. It introduces life-style of Czech families with fathers using parental leave on the basis of conducted qualitative research. The main stress is put on the actors' point of view, which is presented in relation with broader social context, especially in the field of gender roles and reconciliation of family and work life. As an example, one case study was presented to point out the trends of new fatherhood and life-style of the families where father is taking parental leave. It has been found that families in which fathers have used parental leave for some period of time appreciate the experience on the whole.

A structural look at the employment of women with young children shows that this group is marginalized in the labour market when it is unable or only with difficulty is able to find employment in the labour market, as the current labour market revolves around the principle of independent, fully flexible individuals unencumbered by any obligations outside work. What significance in their lives do these women ascribe to being mothers and what significance do they assign to work? How does the perception of the relationship between work and family influence how they define for themselves the combination of these two spheres of life? How does this group of women see their opportunities for finding work in the labour market? Answers to these questions were sought from an analysis of 29 semi-structured interviews carried out in 2006 with women on parental leave or women just returning to work from leave, who had taken a requalification course. Their view is the view from 'below', which is a legitimate one, but given that it mainly relates to their own experiences or the experiences of others in their social surroundings there may be limitations to it. The potential limitations in this view are pointed out in the article's conclusion.

In spite of recent economic and social developments in the EU and related pressures on labour market participation, family policies in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic are very familialistic. With the combination of long-term leaves and limited access to institutional childcare the reconciliation of parenting and work remains an irresolvable task that has implications for gender equality and specifically for the participation of women in the labour market. This article seeks to examine the relationship between the ideal preferences and real decisions parents make concerning care for preschool-age children against a backdrop of cultural values, economic factors, and institutional provisions established under the system of family policy and childcare policy in the Czech Republic and Slovakia and in relation to gender in/equality in society. The aim is to shed light on the structure and content of parental views on childcare in the context of both real and hypothetical decision-making. As the data show, the ideal preferences and hypothetical choices of parents reflect their actual practice which is determined by the given childcare policies. It is therefore necessary to take this into account in relation to increasing gender equality in society and the participation of both men and women in childcare.

The paper takes up the question of the influence of gender roles and gender division of work in decisions of Czech women to return from parental leave to the labour market. This question stems from findings of contemporary literature, which illustrates that despite the changing gender roles in today's societies, women continue to carry the bulk of the burden of unpaid work (household chores and care). As such, the division of unpaid work between men and women is perceived as an important factor placing women at a disadvantage in the labour market, and as a factor limiting choices by women in relation to combining paid work and family. The objective of this paper is to uncover what gender division of work is like in the Czech Republic as a post-communist country, what determines it, and particularly how women perceive it - whether they interpret it as an enforced division and as a barrier to a smooth (and timely) return to the labour market or whether gender division of work corresponds to their preferences and why. The analysis is based on qualitative interviews with women from different educational background since we assume to find differences between different educational groups.

The women's decision regarding the time they intend to spend home with their children after their birth may depend on several factors. Various factors affect the time of the comeback. In this study the author shall present the results of the secondary analysis performed on the database Monitor 2003. In the course of the analysis parameters related closely to the mother got examined, such as the mothers age, academic qualification, the length of her working experience before delivery, her position at the working place, her marital status and her salary. Among these the qualification, the position at the working place and the salary proved to be the most determinative factors. All of these three show a negative connection with the length of the time spent staying at home.
