| Well adjusted institutional background of maternal leave and with it connected options of childcare facilities have an impact on women labour force participation. In present, majority of countries in European union provide option of using childcare facilities in lower age then is obligatory from law in a form of crèches. Main benefit of crèches is that they enable women to join labour market sooner. This minimizes negative impacts of nonemployment, such as human capital depreciation or loss and additional impact on worker career, as these losses can persist in long run. As these options of pre kindergarten childcare facilities vary widely across EU members also the gender employment gap varies across EU.
The aim of this thesis is mainly to analyse differences in female employment and wage level with connection to institutional background in European countries with main focus on the Czech Republic. In order to do that, we use statistical and econometrical models on datasets from European Union Labour Force Survey. In the next part we try to extract usable institutional adjustment for Czech republic and we estimate their impact on GDP change in case they would be imposed. |
