This topic is being explored by Czech and foreign experts and authors of publications related to position of women in labour market, motherhood and parenthood and namely the factors which make it harder for women to return back to work after parental leave with the focus on Czech environment. The core of the paper is the presentation of selected results of descriptive analysis of quantitative research of women in Moravia-Silesian region in Czech Republic which point out the experiences and perceptions related to the return of women to work after parental leave. Using a significant sample of respondents (470), the results partially confirm and also refute the findings of the theory. The findings from the primary research presented in the paper will contribute to updating the current picture of women's return to work after parental leave in the Czech Republic and at the same time create a basis for a future qualitative type of research of women experience and perceptions of return to work in the context of their cultural, social and economic environment.
