Micro-Entrepreneurs’ Health Strategies During and Beyond the Covid-19 Pandemic
The topic of safeguarding against sickness grew in importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. People’s health was more at risk, yet not all had the same capacity and options to deal with it. Therefore, this article focuses on the under-researched topic of choice of strategies and individual practices for safeguarding against one’s sickness among micro-entrepreneurs (with 1–10 employees) before and during the pandemic, namely on the example of Czech…
The central European world of fatherhood policies
Here is the shorter abstract: Following Rush's suggestion to explore differences across cultures, our study compares the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Appyling Rush's discussion of how individual attitudes function as mediators, we analyse how attitudes mediate the norm of threeness. We interviewed 79 parents in both countries and our results show that despite the cultural differences between the countries, there is great support for the norm of t…
Parenting Desires and Sexual Identities
The paper asks how parenting desires are associated with the construction of sexual identity and what factors most influence whether gays/lesbians, bisexuals, and heterosexuals declaring same-sex attraction want to have (more) children. The subject has been explored mainly in the Western liberal and gay-family-friendly legislation and social environment so far. Our study was conducted in the Czech Republic, a CEE country where sexual minorities f…
Men's Explanations for Being Childless; a dynamic perspective
Research on childlessness in contemporary society still focuses mainly on women. This article conversely examines childlessness among men in Czechia - a European post-socialist country in which becoming a parent was a strong social norm before 1989. This article asks how men's explanations for being childless or childfree change over time and what this says about changing norms attached to parenthood in different historical and social contexts. I…
Childlessness and Barriers to Gay Parenthood in Czechia
This mixed‐methods article focuses on childlessness and barriers to parenthood among non‐heterosexual men in Czechia. On the quantitative sample of 419 men (165 gays, 125 bisexuals, and 129 heterosexuals with same‐sex romantic/sexual attraction), recruited on a representative online panel, we map the parenting desires, intentions, and perceived barriers to parenthood. Our analysis identifies a substantial group of gay men without parenting desire…
Gender and Changes in the Division of Labour in Households with Children during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The article ties in with the scholarship on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on gender equality. Based on a qualitative analysis of interviews with parents of children under 12, we examine the processes that led to the increase or dismantling of the gender division of labour in families during the first nationwide lockdown. Using the concepts of path dependency and 'doing' and 'undoing' gender, we explain the strategies couples with children u…
The Conditions of Parenthood in Organisations

The research draws on three case studies comparing pairs of companies active in the Czech Republic and in one of the following countries - Germany, France, and Sweden - in the field of engineering. The goal is to explore in depth the conditions that Czech working parents…
Caring Fathers
The transformation of the social institution of the family in an individualised society is tied also to other demands and expectations relating to parenthood, and fatherhood is no exception in this regard. This article focuses on fathers who have accepted the modern norm of fatherhood and have played an active role by personally caring for their children, in particular, as primary carers during their period of parental leave. The entry of fathers…
Women in Top Leadership Positions
The topic of women in top leadership positions in politics is a very current issue even if it is often neglected not only in the former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe but also in certain democratic developed countries both within Europe and beyond. The special international comparative research that was conducted on this theme examines the causes of the low proportion of women in top leadership positions in politics and busines…
