A new approach to family policy is underway in the Czech Republic

The ESPN Flash Reports are produced by the European Social Policy Network (ESPN) established in 2014 to provide the European Commission with independent information, analysis and expertise on social policies. The topics presented in the Flash Reports are identified by ESPN experts in the light of significant developments in their countries, or in some cases suggested by the Commission.

The ESPN is managed by LISER and APPLICA, with the support of OSE - European Social Observatory. For more information, please visit this website.
The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs in the Czech Republic is preparing a new approach to family policy. The current version outlines 24 reform measures which mostly relate to quality of public services, reconciling work and family life, and financial support for families with children. This approach should be approved by the Government during the autumn 2016.
