K39 - Other Substantive Areas of Law: OtherReturn

The article explores the legal dimension of unpaid work, particularly within the context of Slovak households, where this form of labor remains largely invisible to formal legal regulation. Unpaid work is approached as a multidimensional phenomenon, with the analysis situated within the normative framework of the Slovak Republic. The aim is to identify whether existing legislation—especially in the field of family law—can be considered an adequate legal regulation of unpaid household labor. The research is based on the methods of abstraction, legal analysis and normative evaluation (de lege ferenda). The findings reveal that the current regulation is minimal, vague, and lacks enforceability. While the introduction of binding legal standards might improve clarity, it also risks undermining the private-law character of family relations. The article concludes by reflecting on the normative limits and feasibility of more precise legal intervention in this area.
