“…After the fall of the communist regime, the two countries adopted different family policies and care ideals in the 1990s and 2000s (Ferrarini and Sjöberg 2010;Hamplová 2006;Mariková 2005). The polish system expects mothers to quickly return to full-time work, while offering little institutional support for working parents (see Chapter 10).…”

“…Seniors helped the younger generation both financially and with housing, which led to the existence of three-generation households. Grandparents were also intensively involved in helping to care for the grandchildren, which made it much easier for women to re-join the workforce after parental leave (Možný, 1999;Maříková, 2004).…”

This article focuses on intergenerational solidarity in three-generation households. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with seven members of the oldest generation cohabiting in a three-generation household, the article investigates the aspects, perceptions, and meanings of intergenerational solidarity. The article is based mainly on the theory of intergenerational solidarity presented by Alice S. Rossi and Peter H. Rossi (1990) and Robert E. L. Bengtson and Vern L. Roberts (1991). We are inspired by the classification of solidarity into seven dimensions – associational solidarity, affectual solidarity, consensual solidarity, functional solidarity, normative solidarity, and intergenerational family structure – and observe these dimensions in the context of three-generation co-living. Using a qualitative approach allows us to capture the emic perspective of the interviewees and their perceptions of intergenerational relations and their position within a three-generation household.

This article focuses on the relationship between gender, employment and policy in the four 'Visegrad' countries: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Family policy in the 'Visegrad' countries has usually been labelled as 'familialistic' because of policies that favoured parental care of young children. The article aims to answer the questions: How far do current leave and childcare policies adhere to a 'familialistic' model, and have recent developments diluted or strengthened adherence? What are the consequences today of parenthood for women's employment? What are the possible explanations for these consequences, including the role of explicit or implicit familialism? The focus is on similarities and differences between the countries. The article shows (1) that Poland differs in some important respects (e.g. maternal employment, leave policies) from other Visegrad countries; (2) that, due to the limited availability of good quality part-time employment, parents in 'Visegrad' countries are not likely to use the flexible parental leave provision; (3) the obstacles (design of leave policies; gender pay gap, social attitudes) to fathers using their leave entitlements; and (4) the conflicting expectations and demands (financial necessity to earn money, social expectation to be a good mother, fulfilling professional ambitions) women are subject to.Este articulo esta enfocado en la relación entre el género, el empleo y la política en los cuatro paises "Visegrad": Republica Checa, Hungria, Polonia y Eslovaquia. La politica familiar en los paises "Visegrad" ha sido generalmente etiquetada como "familiarista" debido a las políticas que favorecen el cuidado de los padres hacia sus hijos pequeños. El articulo tiene como objetivo responder a las preguntas: ¿Hasta que punto las políticas actuales de cuidado infantil y bajas maternales se adhieren a un modelo "familiarista" y los acontecimientos recientes han diluido o fortalecido la adhesión? ¿Cuales son hoy las consecuencias parentales para el empleo de las mujeres? ¿Cuales son las posibles explicaciones para estas consecuencias, incluyendo el rol explicito e implicito del familialismo? La atención se centra sobre las similitudes y diferencias entre los paises. El articulo enseña (1) que Polonia se diferencia en algunos aspectos importantes (ej: madres empleadas, política de bajas de maternidad) de otros paises "Visegrad"; (2) que debido a la limitada disponibilidad de empleo de buena calidad a tiempo parcial o media jornada, padres en paises "Visegrad" no tienen la posibilidad de usar el derecho de baja de maternidad; (3) los obtáculos (diseño de políticas de bajas maternales, la brecha salarial de género, actitudes sociales) a los padres que usan su derecho de baja de maternidad; y (4) a las expectativas y demandas en conflicto (la necesidad financiera de ganar dinero, expectativa social de ser una buena madre, cumplimiento de las ambiciones profesionales) están sujetas las mujeres.
