| Abstract [eng] |
Accessibility to childcare facilities and reconciliation of work and family life, gender differences in employment in Lithuania are analysed in this article. The article discusses accessibility to childcare facilities in Lithuania, policy issues, describes availability of childcare facilities, women and men participation rates in labour market in Lithuania. Over the last decades, childcare services have become an important matter of public concern. Affordable and good quality childcare facilities may improve the reconciliation of work and family roles and foster labour market participation and gender equality. Despite existing mechanisms, family-friendly policies, successful integration of women with preteen children into labour market is limited by shortage of childcare facilities, issues relating to reconciliation of work and family roles, and poor fexible employment system. |
