This article examines whether there are any differences in the way in which married couples and unmarried cohabitating couples manage their incomes. Using data from the ISSP 1994 and the ISSP 2002 the author attempts to answer the question of whether over the course of the 1990s in the Czech Republic the character of unmarried cohabitation changed, and whether the economic arrangements of unmarried couples with children resemble those of married couples. Crosstabulation indicates that unmarried couples manage their respective incomes separately more often than married couples do. However, if we take into account the different socio-demographic and socio-economic structures of these couples, the differences in income management connected with marital status vanish. The results of a logistic regression show that separate financial management occurs more often among childless couples, people less satisfied with their family life, and those who have experienced the break-up of a partnership before. In the case where an unmarried couple is raising children, the household income arrangement of the partners is similar to that of married couples.

The article examines age as a possible group identity. It sets out to determine which age groups in society today have a stronger sense of identity and the source of that identity, while drawing on the tenets of social psychology and the theories of social identity and optimal distinctiveness. The latter two theories provide insight into the motives for identiﬁcation with social groups, but see different needs at the heart of this identiﬁcation, and thus offer alternative hypotheses of age as a source of status and positive self-image versus age as a source of distinctiveness and a ‘substitute’ source of identity. The analysis is based on representative data for the Czech population over the age of 20 drawn from the European Social Survey Round 4 and the International Social Survey Programme 2003. It shows that self-categorisation into the verbally deﬁned age groups of young, middle-aged, and old is indeed common. It also reveals a much stronger level of peer group self-identiﬁcation among the youngest and oldest respondents, despite the low social status of these age groups. The article closes with a discussion of the varying signiﬁcance age has as a source of social identity and the invalidity of the hypothesis that age group identiﬁcation is dependent on the social status of its members.

This paper examines the chances and changes of conflicts between family and work roles of women in West-European, Post-communist and USA-based on multivariate statistical method. The most significant differences among the various regions are the features of women employment which is reflected in the results as well. Based on the facts both in 1994 and in 2002 women living in Post-communist countries had the biggest chance to face with such role conflicts. In West-European countries women seemed to be more protected from such conflicts due to part-time employment.
