Money in the Slovak Family

Join us at Joerges House for a discussion offering a historical and sociological insight into how different generations of Slovak families have viewed and managed money. You will learn how households handled their finances during the Slovak National Revival, the First and Second World Wars, and the socialist era.

The discussion will explore the relationship between Slovak society and money throughout history. We will examine who was considered the family's breadwinner during the First World War, what dowry women were expected to bring into marriage depending on the social class and historical period, who was responsible for managing the household, how people approached money in times of prosperity and economic crisis, and which historical financial habits and mistakes continue to shape the way individuals and families deal with money today.

Speaker: Ivana Klimentová, member of Živena and expert on the history of finance in Slovakia

Moderator: Adriana Bránická

The event is organised by Živena, the oldest women's association in Slovakia.

Only in Slovak.
