In recent decades, studies focused on how the (female) employment rate and willingness of becoming parents could be increased in welfare states. This paper outlines the matter of features characterizing the relationship of these two aspects. The main question is which factors influence if employment and fertility rates strengthen or weaken each other. This introduction argues for the correlation of the developments on these two areas according to the results of recent researches: high employment rate - high fertility rate; low employment rate - low fertility rate. On which part of the scale a society can be found, is influenced by various factors, such as: whether the welfare system supports the expansion of high quality child care institutions for children up to the age of 3; how long it alienates young mothers from the labor market (including even on the level of expectations or norms); and how well-balanced the division of tasks is at home between the partners (e.g. the importance of the active role of fathers). Finally, the study outlines some arguments aiming that the increasing equalization and parallel expansion of female employment can be considered as important factors contributing to economic development and social integration.

Our research examined the gender segment of organisational culture at a local municipality. In the present study we analyse results from focus group discussions with employees at a municipality. In the analysis we discuss what characteristics gender culture has in an organisation where the majority of executives and employees are women. In case of such a gender composition, is organisational culture supportive of women? What characteristics do our research subjects attribute to women and men in general, and to their male and female colleagues? What do they think of the fact that the organisation has a female majority and how do they judge the issue of equal opportunity? The focus groups enabled us to provide a 'rich' and deep description of the examined aspects.
