Parents under Pressure? Involvement in Childcare and the Perception of Time Pressure among Czech Mothers and FathersJana Klímová ChaloupkováSociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2026, 62(2): 89-116 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2025.008 This study examines the link between involvement in childcare and perceived time pressures among parents with at least one child up to 12 years of age in the Czech Republic. Using data from the Czech Household Panel Survey (2015), this study combines multiple indicators of subjective time pressure with time-use diary data on time spent on different types of childcare activities.
