Description
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.
