| Popis: | As the structure of society changes, new types of social problems are created. In this context, the present Master thesis aims to answer the question how are family policies of the Czech Republic and Austria changing in view of New Social Risks of post-industrial societies. The partial objectives are, through document analysis of national concepts, on one hand, to clarify possibilities of involving women with young children in the labor market and on the other hand to define factors of how both countries approach with individual family policy instruments the risks of post-industrial societies. Methodologically the paper is exhibited (with the specification of the Czech Republic and Austria) on the document analysis of strategic documents of family policies of both countries. The analysis focuses on factors and instruments of formal and informal care, on factors influencing the activity of women with young children in the labor market and the activity of fathers in relation to childcare. The gained results show that both countries are more or less maintaining the gender setting of roles, mothers as caregivers, and fathers as breadwinners. Both countries face gender inequalities in the labor market, which are mainly caused by horizontal gender segregation in the labor market, however many measures have been introduced in both countries in order to adapt the needs of families in changing structure of the society. Austrias approach builds the introduction of new measures on empirical data, whereas the Czech Republic tends to rely on ideological concepts, on a theoretical basis and experiences from other countries.
