In the 1990s a regulative pattern that strongly mirrored the structure and basic functions of post-war European corporatism was formed and stabilised in Slovenia. The system enabled the country’s relatively fast and smooth inclusion in the European monetary system. However, its former rise and recent tendency towards disorganisation clearly overlap with the qualitatively different phases of Europeanization. At first glance, this overlap supports the thesis that there has been a decline of corporatist pacts in the post-EMU period, suggesting that the decline is caused by the more or less successful internalisation of EMU demands and pressures during the accommodation process. In the Slovenian case, this interpretation is basically misleading. It is true that the decline of corporatism in Slovenia was connected with EMU pressures, but the primary source of its disorganisation lay in its specific micro-foundations.

This paper raises fundamental questions about the meaning of reputation and its measurement. It also considers the context of the recent global economic crisis, which brought about the lowest levels of trust in corporations, and a serious erosion of reputational capital of the corporations previously regarded as highly reputable

Workplaces are important in making everyday life run smoothly for parents with young children, especially for mothers. However a number of other conditions can be more important: the presence of a supportive partner, the availability of intergenerational family help, decent housing, statutory paid leave, and affordable local childcare. . Compared with mothers, fathers have lower expectations of parenthood; the least content father (Norway) does the most childcare and household work and the most content father does the least (Slovenia). Intergenerational help emerged as important in most cases and contexts but especially for parents in East Europe and Portugal, complementing other forms of support. Such help constitutes a form of informal insurance and protection from new risks of social exclusion (Kohli 2004). It can compensate and substitute for lack of support from fathers, as in the case of mother from Portugal and father from Slovenia.

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.
