It describes the concept of generation rent, the development of Czech housing policy and its current setting, key actors, differences and interconnectedness of housing policy at the state and local level and what types of housing support are offered to young people and seniors. It also deals with the causes of housing unavailability and citizens' preferences regarding housing types. The work is conceived as a case study focused on Prague.

The policy of active fatherhood in the Czech Republic in comparison with the Slovak Republic.
Češková, Eliška ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Vlčková, Kamila (referee)
The thesis deals with the active fatherhood policy in the Czech and Slovak Republics. The aim of the thesis is to compare fathers' involvement in childcare and active fatherhood policies in these countries. Then to map the types of measures to support active fatherhood that we can find here, their historical development and legislative anchorages in both countries. Specific measures are embedded in family policies. I am also interested in citizens' attitudes towards greater involvement of fathers in childcare. It is a comparison of two case studies (CR, SR), the current state of the policies is surveyed through expert questionnaires. The interviewees were experts on the area from both countries. The results of the research show us that, although the number of men receiving parental allowance in the countries is not much different, the Slovak Republic lacks the benefit of paternal postnatal care, which would mean a huge advance. In addition, family policy in the Czech Republic is more geared to a greater involvement of fathers, and a motivational bonus is currently being discussed to increase the number of men on parental leave. In the end, there are examples of good practice from Europe that both countries should follow.
