Research and analysis of selected issues from gender perspective.
Our partner organization CERGE EI will carry out economic studies that will identify and quantify partial significant expenses and impacts of motherhood. It will be possible to compare the scope and meaning of particular expenses and effects of maternity. Analysis will propose a complex set of recommendations that will identify specific expenses and impacts should be taken into consideration and which of them are not so relevant in the context of lifelong perspective.
The research carried out by the Department of Sociology in the Academy of Science will be connected to quantitative analysis of lifelong expenses of maternity performed by CERGE EI. The research’s focus will be on the possible cause of economic disadvantage for women because of maternity, women’s decision-making abilities in various phases of their lives, the perception of one’s own abilities and life/economic strategies and their impact on both, lives of individuals and family lives. The analysis will employ a quantitative design of research that allows for a deeper understanding of significance that people attach to social events and thus reveal possible deeper connections within familiar phenomena.
