In this chapter, we take a look at the development of parental leave and childcare policies in Czechoslovakia under communist rule, present the changes after 1989 in these areas as well as the current situation, with a special focus on Brno. Additionally to the policy context, the chapter presents information on the coverage of childcare services in Brno and discusses their quality, affordability, accessibility and financing. For this purpose, we draw on available statistics and literature, on key policy documents as well as on our interviews with Brno city administration representatives, relevant to the topic. Hence, this chapter aims to provide an overview of the current situation of childcare policies and services in Brno, together with their evaluation from the point of view of their potential support for women’s participation on the labour market as well as to introduce the context for the decision making of women with pre-school children living in Brno, which will be analysed in Chapter 5.

The reports in the "Euromonitor" series aim at independent and objective monitoring of the implementation process of the Republic of Moldova - European Union Action Plan. The actions adopted and implemented by both signatories of the Plan will be monitored quarterly. The action plan is a complex document, structured in 7 chapters, which provides for the implementation of about 300 actions, some defined more or less precisely, others very ambiguous. Unable to monitor such a complex document, the authors of "Euromonitor" focused on priority actions, identified in the Action Plan itself.

Kada, kako i zašto smo mi, građani Srbije odlučili da se pomirimo sa bolešću, čak i sa smrću? Pored sve (samo)hvale zbog nabavljenih respiratora, obilja vakcina raznih vrsta, novih kovid bolnica, tela obrazovanog samo za svrhu obuzdavanja pandemije, crna krivulja umrlih od kovida 19, dovela je Srbiju na svetski vrh – najviše umrlih na milion stanovnika je ovde, kod nas.

Mentalno zdravlje mlade osobe je neodvojivo od fizičkog zdravlja. Mentalno zdravlje ne znači odsustvo mentalne bolesti, već puno više od toga. U ovom radu želimo naglasiti da je mentalno zdravlje, prema mišljenju velikog broja naučnika, rezultat dobrih međuljudskih odnosa koji postaju kvalitetniji mijenjajući uvjerenja kojima se pojedinac vodi i koristeći podržavajuća ponašanja prema drugim ljudima. U ovom radu cilj je prikazati poveznicu između poteškoća u mentalnom zdravlju mladih, kvalitetnih međuljudskih odnosa, te njihovom reflektovanju na poboljšanja mentalnog zdravlja. Također, u radu želimo naglasiti važnost preventivnih aktivnosti kao i ponašanja kojim mladi ljudi mogu čuvati i očuvati svoje mentalno zdravlje.

Postoje brojne definicije alkoholizma, a za potrebe ovog teksta poslužit će definicija Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije koja alkoholizam opisuje kao ''kronično kontinuirano pijenje ili periodično konzumiranje alkohola, koje karakterizira poremećena kontrola pijenja, učestale epizode intoksikacije, te preokupiranost alkoholom i uporabom alkohola, usprkos štetnim posljedicama'' (WHO, 2015.). Budući da osobe ovisne o alkoholu doživljavaju niz socijalnih, psiholoških i/ili pravnih problema zbog akutnog opijanja i/ili redovite prekomjerne zlouporabe i/ ili ovisnosti o alkoholu, alkoholizam se danas promatra kao medicinsko-socijalni problem (Hudolin, 1981.) koji za cilj osim liječenja, ima i prevenciju nastanka alkoholizma. Ova je bolest prisutna kod 5,1 % populacije u Hrvatskoj, a samo 19,5 % populacije apstinira (dok je ta brojka 32,4 % u Italiji i Sloveniji) (WHO, 2021.b).
