Labour market conditions in Czechia not good

Labour market conditions in the Czech Republic have worsened for the third year in a row and are the tenth worst in the EU, mainly due to low flexibility and large gender inequalities in pay, according to an analysis by European Union Open Data Portal. The report says that the Czech Republic is failing to create favourable conditions for employees on the labour market despite having the lowest unemployment rate in the EU. For instance, Czech employees often do not have the option of part-time work, which makes it difficult for parents looking after young children to  be at least partly economically active. According to the analysis the best work conditions for employees are in the Netherlands, Austria and the Scandinavian countries.
