Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the study is to estimate the unexplained gender pay gap in the individual departments of the selected hospital, to find out whether these vary between the individual departments and if so, to identify the possible causes of these differences. We systematically examined the gender wage differences within one occupation. To estimate the unexplained part of the gender pay gap, we used the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) and to identify the causes of the possible differences in the unexplained gender pay gap, we used the linear regression model. We found that the ATT varies significantly between the individual departments. To explain these differences, we used the selected characteristics of the departments: department size, proportion of women and gender of the department head. We came to the conclusion that the wages of women increase relatively to the male wage with a growth in the proportion of female orderlies together with a female head of department. Separately, it has not been proven that the unexplained gender wage gap tends to be lower in departments of smaller size.

The book is aimed at policy-makers and researchers interested in knowing more about how VHI works in practice in a wide range of contexts. Each profile written by one or more local experts identifies gaps in publicly-financed health coverage describes the role VHI plays outlines the way in which the market for VHI operates summarises public policy towards VHI including major developments over time and highlights national debates and challenges. The book is part of a study on VHI in Europe prepared jointly by the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies and the WHO Regional Office for Europe.

Download or read book Czech Republic written by International Monetary Fund. European Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2018 Article IV Consultation highlights that Czech Republic’s growth has been strong, broad-based and job rich. The economy grew at 4.4 percent in 2017, led by strong domestic demand. The unemployment rate fell to a record low of 2.3 percent in April 2018, even with increased participation. Meanwhile, headline and core inflation are close to the target of 2 percent. Growth is projected to remain strong this year, at 3.7 percent, but labor shortages are putting constraints on future growth. In the near term, a decline in global trade is a major risk for a small economy highly dependent on external demand, particularly from the euro area, but also indirectly from other regions given how tightly integrated is the Czech economy into supply chains.

Download or read book Czech Social Attitudes in the European Context written by Klára Vlachová and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2024-04-24 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Czech Social Attitudes in the European Context: In the Heart of Europe reflects the political, welfare, and general social attitudes in the Czech Republic, which has 30 years of existence, in European comparison. In nine chapters, the team of contributors address understanding and evaluations of democracy, discriminated group identity, satisfaction with democracy, distributive justice beliefs, support for income redistribution, pay fairness, equity norms, life satisfaction, job satisfaction, subjective well-being, (un)happiness, social isolation, perceived unsafety, family norms related to parenthood, and attitudes towards migration in pre- and post-COVID-19 times. This book captures a mild disappointment from low incomes and income equality, their effects on job satisfaction, happiness, and understanding of democracy in this critical era. Rigorous quantitative analyses of attitudes are based on the up-to-date European Social Survey data. Each chapter is a stand-alone piece. Nevertheless, their findings confirm and complement each other.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Women and the Economy written by Susan L. Averett and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 889 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transformation of women's lives over the past century is among the most significant and far-reaching of social and economic phenomena, affecting not only women but also their partners, children, and indeed nearly every person on the planet. In developed and developing countries alike, women are acquiring more education, marrying later, having fewer children, and spending a far greater amount of their adult lives in the labor force. Yet, because women remain the primary caregivers of children, issues such as work-life balance and the glass ceiling have given rise to critical policy discussions in the developed world. In developing countries, many women lack access to reproductive technology and are often relegated to jobs in the informal sector, where pay is variable and job security is weak. Considerable occupational segregation and stubborn gender pay gaps persist around the world. The Oxford Handbook of Women and the Economy is the first comprehensive collection of scholarly essays to address these issues using the powerful framework of economics. Each chapter, written by an acknowledged expert or team of experts, reviews the key trends, surveys the relevant economic theory, and summarizes and critiques the empirical research literature. By providing a clear-eyed view of what we know, what we do not know, and what the critical unanswered questions are, this Handbook provides an invaluable and wide-ranging examination of the many changes that have occurred in women's economic lives.

Download or read book Labour Law in the Czech Republic written by Jan Pichrt and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2022-11-20 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph on the Czech Republic not only describes and analyses the legal aspects of labour relations, but also examines labour relations practices and developing trends. It provides a survey of the subject that is both usefully brief and sufficiently detailed to answer most questions likely to arise in any pertinent legal setting. Both individual and collective labour relations are covered in ample detail, with attention to such underlying and pervasive factors as employment contracts, suspension of the contracts, dismissal laws and covenant of non-competition, as well as international private law. The author describes all important details of the law governing hours and wages, benefits, intellectual property implications, trade union activity, employers’ associations, workers’ participation, collective bargaining, industrial disputes, and much more. Building on a clear overview of labour law and labour relations, the book offers practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based. It will find a ready readership among lawyers representing parties with interests in the Czech Republic, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative trends in laws affecting labour and labour relations.

Download or read book Local Welfare Policy Making in European Cities written by Dagmar Kutsar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on how EU welfare policies are implemented at the local level in 11 European cities and how local policy making addresses women’s care responsibilities. The book studies the complex combination of and the relationships between local political processes, policies, institutions, structural conditions and outputs, as well as outcomes for the women’s labour market integration. It demonstrates how cultural settings and multi-level governance patterns form the “playground” for local policy makers to formulate their welfare policies concerning service provision. The book further demonstrates how local production systems and the situation of the local labour market influence the prospects that women have in working and caring. EU welfare policy promotes the labour market integration of women as well as gender equality. The provision of adequate care services is vital in supporting women’s employment. Within comparative welfare research, the focus has been on the national welfare systems and policies even if care services are overwhelmingly provided by local authorities that in many EU member states enjoy considerable autonomy. This book fills the gap in understanding local welfare policy making from a comparative perspective.
