Women's Access to Current Labour Market in the Benesov Region

The bachelor thesis deals with the use of women in the labour market under current circumstances in Benesov region. As a woman living in Benesov region, I will possibly look for a job there too, and that is why I have chosen this theme. The thesis focuses on the situation of unemployed women in Benesov region, as well as on the attitudes of these women to this situation. The thesis is divided into two parts theoretical part and practical part. In the theoretical part, I defined terms connected to unemployment: the reasons of unemployment, the division of unemployment and the results of unemployment. I also focused on terms that are important for the unemployment of women, such as the gender, the feminism, the feminization of poverty, the status of families in a present-day world and the state policy of employment in terms of gender equality. Benesov region was characterized as well. The aim of the practical part was to clarify the unemployment of women in Benesov region and the woman's attitudes to this topic. Moreover, I have identified a hypothesis, in which I presume that unemployed women in Benesov region without children or with children older than six years feel less disadvantaged in the labour market than women living in Benesov region with children up to six years old. According to the survey, this hypothesis was confirmed. Subsequently, I described the methodology of the thesis. The research was done by a secondary data analysis, a survey and semi-structured interviews which helped to illustrate the topic from the expert's points of view. The data collection was done in the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the Czech Republic contact office in Benesov. According to the results, under present circumstances women with children up to six years' old feel more disadvantaged in the labour market in Benesov region than women with no children or with children older than six. One of the important questions for confirmation the hypothesis was the question whether the respondent feels included into the group of unemployed that is more in danger of unemployment. During a job interview, women with children up to six years were also more often confronted by questions of their potential employers on their personal lives
