The paper deals with the relationship between working and private, family and partnership life in the contemporary Czech society. It is based on the main findings from the representative sample survey 'Connections between the changes in the labour market and forms of private, family, and partnership life in the Czech society' conducted in the 2005. The aim of this paper is to put these findings into an international context. The comparison of selected European countries is done from the point of the level of conflict experienced between working and private life. These findings are also connected to the family policies and the labour market arrangements in particular countries. The international comparison is based on data from the second round of European Social Survey conducted 2004/2005. The findings indicated that the Czech Republic (along with Great Britain, Spain, Poland and Slovakia) counted among the countries with relatively higher level of experienced work-family/private life conflicts, unlike the Scandinavia and some particular West European countries (Germany, France and Belgium).

The aim of this paper is to present examples of good practices in this area, and namely companies that have comprehensive WLB programmes, applying to all employees.

This article investigates the intricate relationship between work and family life in the Czech Republic, highlighting how structural and cultural barriers within the labour market impact gender equality, particularly in balancing work and caregiving responsibilities. With high female employment rates and limited access to childcare facilities for preschool children, the Czech Republic presents a compelling case for examining the interplay of historical, cultural, and institutional factors in a post-communist context. Employing Nancy Fraser’s three-dimensional framework of justice – redistribution, recognition, and representation – this study utilizes a critical analytical approach, integrating secondary data from various sources with a robust theoretical lens. The analysis explores how economic disparities, cultural norms, and political underrepresentation collectively reinforce gender inequalities, disproportionately affecting mothers compared to fathers. The findings reveal significant gaps in existing policies, perpetuated by entrenched societal stereotypes and insufficient institutional support. These results contribute to theoretical debates on work-life balance and gender equity, while offering actionable recommendations for policymakers. By focusing on the unique challenges faced in the Czech Republic, this article not only addresses a critical research gap but also provides practical insights for designing equitable social and labour policies in similar post-communist societies.

The growing importance of everyday work-life balance (WLB) focuses attention on a fair time distribution between the work, life and family domains. Despite the global perception of the crucial role work-life balance plays in everyday routine there are still cross-country differences in WLB satisfaction. The aim of this study was to examine cross-country differences and similarities among a group of four neighbouring European countries; the Visegrad group (V4) countries. More specifically the study aimed to describe the level, changes within rounds of data collection and between-group comparisons of selected ESS variables: WLB satisfaction, working time, and work attachment. The correlation analysis was applied to explain and understand relations between selected variables. The correlation analysis revealed significant negative relationships between WLB satisfaction and both working hours and work attachment in all V4 countries. The results show a similar pattern for Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Czechia, with a significant between-round of WLB satisfaction increase, was the exception. There were almost no differences in level of satisfaction with work-life balance between respondents living with and without children across time in V4 countries. The comparative analysis revealed a difference between respondents with and without children at home when reporting work attachment. For a deeper understanding further analysis should be done in the future with the focus on time use patterns in the context of work and non-work activities with an emphasis on work and family values in the V4 countries.
