Fostering paternal involvement in childcare in the Czech Republic.
Original language description
The absence of legislative instruments to foster paternal involvement in family work, the lack of childcare services and a high gender pay gap prevent mothers from returning to the labour market sooner and men from participating more in family work in the Czech Republic. The individual and non-transferable right to several months of sufficiently paid parental leave and the sufficiently high bonuses for families in which both parents share in caring for their children are effective at increasing men’s involvement in childcare. The instruments designed to lower the gender pay gap and to weaken gender stereotypes relating to care, a turn away from the tax system that rewards income inequality within couples, and extension of the entitlement to a place in childcare would also contribute to gender balance in paid work and care.
