Sažetak
The aim of the paper is to present problems of parents in reconciliation of parenthood and paid work.The data on employment of women and parents in Slovenia is presented and institutional framework related to the reconciliation of formal paid work and parenthood is described. Problems concerning care work and maternal/paternal/parental leaves are analysed in the context of recent organizational and labour market changes and from the gender perspective. In the second part of the paper the results of a telephone survey are presented. The survey was conducted on the sample of 608 parents of children aged up to 7 years. Survey results show that employed parents, especially fathers, are working long hours and that women assume the major part of childcare work. Gender differences in the amount of negative experiences in employment and at work exist. Results of analysis in Slovenia could be useful in the analysis of the development of social policies in other European countries and documents of EU institutions in the analysed field.
