Growing gender inequality has been forecasted for post-communist Europe. This study compares trends in women’s and men’s self-reported economic life chances (unemployment and economic security) as well as anti-democratic attitudes with eight national surveys (1990 through 1994) in the Czech and Slovak Republics. Neither a divergence nor convergence between the genders is found. However, the republics diverged on many of the same indicators, particularly since separation in 1993.

It involves economic institutions (first of all private ownership), economic behaviour (based on „cash nexus“ as well as confidence and other traditional values) and economic actors (especially the middle classes). The economic problems of 1996-1997 indicate the incompleteness of the transformation in the substantive sense.
