Sažetak
The contribution addresses the issue of gender segregation in the labour market and its relationship to family-friendly policies and the equal distribution of family responsibilities in the European Union. Gender equality in the world of work in the European Union has been characterized by evolutionary development over a period of more than four decades. The transition process, which was intensified with equality policies and the first directives on equal treatment in the mid-1970s, has continued with various aspects of maternity protection and then parenthood, as well as the promotion of the equal distribution of family responsibilities. The view of this evolutionary path is specific to the context of both developed Western democracies and relatively new Member States of post-communist provenance. The paper will analyze a specific institution of a “mother educator” in some national legislations, the problems of ineffective national anti-discrimination measures, educational inequality, and simultaneous participation of women in leadership positions. It will also attempt to answer the question of whether certain measures are contradictory in their substantive substrate since women today still live predominantly on two tracks: family and professional, while at the same time some experts criticize gender quotas and increasingly call for “quotas for men”. The methodological framework is focused on socio-legal analysis, qualitative research, and standard scientific methods in the field of legal science
