  18. DAILY LIFE IN LITHUANIA REPUBLIC Domestic Unit. „The primary domestic unit is the nuclear family based on a marital relationship. Households are often run by women, who have traditionally been the cooks and cleaners. This has changed because more women are discovering that if they stay home, they miss out on opportunities to make money and can lose their competitive status in the job market. Families usually have close ties with parents and immediate relatives, and much of everyday life focuses on this relationship. Lithuanians often use the term "acquaintance" and grant the title of "friend" only to someone who is very close and like a member of the family.” Kin Groups.”Membership in groups helps some people improve their standard of living. Strong social networks and extended relationships with family and friends are an important part of life. Often family members are assisted by relatives who live abroad and send money, clothing, and other goods.” Child Rearing and Education. „Child rearing is traditionally the responsibility of the mother. Although the law allows fathers to take paternal leave and receive paternal pay, it is not common for men to do this. Children are required to complete nine years of formal schooling, but most finish twelve grades. The number of specialized schools has increased as higher education has become more popular. Many children also attend music, art, or athletics schools.” • http://www.everyculture.com/

  19. Higher Education. „There are fifteen institutions of higher education: six universities, seven academies, and two institutes. Most higher education is free or very inexpensive, as the state subsidizes 75 percent of university education. A university education is becoming increasingly important for getting a good job. Studying abroad has become very popular, although complications with visas and high foreign tuition present problems for many students. Foreign donor programs make it possible for many students to overcome these financial difficulties. The largest universities are Vilnius University, VytautasDidysis University, Kaunas Technological University. “ Medicine and health care„The health care system, many of whose elements are left over from the Soviet regime, is a system of state hospitals, • clinics, and smaller doctors' offices, with a growing number of private practitioners. People who go to public health clinics • often face long lines and complain about the high prices of prescription drugs, but visits to the doctor are free. • Economic conditions have a significant influence on health; some families cannot afford to buy healthy foods or pay for • prescription medicines. Doctors often are not paid on time because of lack of funds or cutbacks. While there are many • doctors, they often face the problem of scarce resources. As a result, it is customary for patients to take a "gift" to the doctor • to thank him for his services and ensure that he makes an effort to get the patient what he or she needs. • Many people prefer to use traditional home remedies that have been passed down for generations. Hot tea with honey or • lemon, vodka, chamomile, and mustard plasters on the back are considered a sure cure for the common cold or the flu and • cost far less than products available in pharmacies. • Doctors make house calls, especially for older people and those living on the countryside.” • http://www.everyculture.com/Ja-Ma/Lithuania.html
