D13 - Household Production and Intrahousehold AllocationReturn

Unpaid work is a part of everyday life in all households; however, its scope and structure vary significantly across countries. Research on household management and unpaid work has shown that not only the duration of unpaid work matters, but also how it is organized and managed within the household. This article builds on a pilot study (2021) and explores the connection between household management and unpaid work activities, explaining the shift in researching this topic in the main phase of the ongoing study, which aims to achieve deeper results and better sampling techniques compared to the pilot survey. In this article, we use literature review methods and the historical-logical method. Preliminary findings suggest that households make limited use of more advanced management strategies when organizing unpaid work. The article also discusses the advantages and limitations of the survey design, aiming to contribute to the broader academic debate on the methodological and conceptual challenges of researching unpaid work.

Continuously growing indebtedness of Czech households is a trend of recent years. Even though the pace of the growth of credits provided to households is not currently reaching such high values as it did in previous years, still household indebtedness is growing every year and the volume of credits granted by banks exceed one billion of Czech crowns at the moment. This paper focuses on the development of the indebtedness of Czech households, its current status and the predicted future development. This topic will be analysed not only on the general level but also from the viewpoint of income and age. The aim of this paper is to analyse the development of Czech household debt at banking institutions, including a prediction of future development. The analysis will be performed using cluster analysis, which occurs in the evaluation of total household indebtedness and to the analysis of household indebtedness according to their income and age structure of the respondents.
