This paper analysed the hypothesis of the growing influence of family (social) origin on success in the transition between secondary and post-secondary school in the 1990s.

Předmět sociologie není vůbec lehké definovat. Sociologie totiž je na rozdíl od přírodních věd, jakými jsou fyzika, chemie nebo biologie, vědou multiparadigmatickou. To znamená, že každá přírodní věda uznává vždy jen jedno paradigma na rozdíl od sociologie, která uznává několik paradigmat současně.

Educated Czechs fared poorly during the communist regime (1948-89) but havedone relatively well since the Velvet Revolution.

Abstract
Topic: politics (and political attitudes), social capital, sociological data
First, the author examines European and world lessons for the study of Czech transformation. Then, he describes legacies of the (mostly communist) past and the risks of transformation: atomisation, demoralisation and materialisation. The main topic is the failure of the social sciences, which isolated themselves instead of engaging in the reform process, verbally governed by mainstream neo-classical economics.
Topic: economics, transformation
The description of post-communist societies is still insufficient and contrasts with the rich knowledge on Western societies. The focus is still on economic and, in particular, macroeconomic data, while social data and reports are rather scarce. With regard to socio-economic studies and analyses, the Czech Republic is even lagging behind the other transition countries of Central Eastern Europe.
