Mothers – Grandmothers – Daughters? Reconciling Labour Market Integration with Care Responsibilities in Brno
This book presents a case study of how social policies influence women in the labour market in the Czech municipality of Brno. This study is based on research that we conducted as part of the EU financed project “Impact of local welfare systems on female labour force participation and social cohesion,” which has been shortened to the acronym FLOWS. The project’s goal was to analyze “how local welfare provision affects the labour market participation of women, and how female employment in turn affects the life course (of women and men), structures of inequality, social cohesion and hence the sustainability of the European social model” (FLOWS 2010: A1: 3).
