Spatial aspects of social inequality: Czechia in the context of Central-East European countries
Nosek, Vojtěch
Vojtěch Nosek: Prostorové aspekty sociálních nerovnoměrností: Česko v kontextu střední a východní Evropy Abstract: The thesis is devoted to the analysis of social inequalities with special attention to their geographical dimension. In the first part of the thesis, theoretical approaches are discussed as well as general regularities typical for geographical distributions. A chapter dealing with possibilities of inequality measuring follows. It focuses especially on quantification of a geographical dimension of social inequality. Morover, selected methods are tested through statistical "modelling" aiming at better understanding and better interpretation of these methods. Methodological analysis is followed by very detailed empirical analysis in Czechia and selected neighbouring countries. The basis for all analyses is a dataset from Census 2001, but the most recent figures are applied as well. The majority of all analyses is performed on very detailed geographical levels, in Czechia is one subchapter devoted even to an analysis of individual data. In the conclusion, hypotheses from the beginning of the thesis are discussed. Many digital supplements are included.

Methodical aspects of measuring poverty in the world

7 Abstract The main purpose of this thesis is to provide a critical view of the issue of measuring poverty as it is not an exception that sometimes the interpretation of the data of this phenomenon is interpreted very inaccurately. There are a lot of indicators that measure poverty by a very different methodology, which can also significantly influence the subsequent interpretation, or national comparison. One of the main issues associated with measuring poverty is the fact that it is very difficult to measure in various parts of the world. The most important sources of data on poverty at international level were examined and their pros and cons were evaluated. The indicators were subsequently mutually confronted in order to explain how the geographical distribution of poverty depends on selected indicator. The result of this thesis is a comprehensive review of to which issues attention should be paid to interpreting poverty from available data. For example, indicators based on the median income or national poverty line are not internationally comparable, although this is often done. Countries such as Ukraine and Turkey are the countries with one of the lowest rates of poverty according to these indices, which certainly may not correspond to the actual level of this phenomenon. Keywords: poverty, poverty...
