Why married men earn more?
Vybíral, Tomáš ; Brožová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Janíčko, Martin (referee)
This thesis examines the question why married men earn more than men who have never been married. Several theories offer the explanation of this phenomena, most important are the productivity hypothesis and the selection hypothesis. Using longitudinal data from the NSLY97 (National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997) this thesis try to prove that the better health of married men is the source of the premium. Regression analysis shows that hourly wage of married men is in contrast with unmarried higher about 32,8 %. After including controlling variables for education or number of children wage premium drops to 7,7 %, but still remains statistically significant. However the analysis doesn't prove that better health is the reason for the existence of this wage premium.

Kouklík, Jakub ; Houdek, Petr (advisor) ; Bolcha, Peter (referee)
The thesis finds out how business cycle (expressed as unemployment rate) affects marriage rate. The regression analysis has been done using fixed effects method with inclusion of robust errors on panel data of European Union countries from 2000 to 2010. Analysis confirmed significance of researched relationship. 1% increase in men's unemployment rate is connected with 0, 08% decrease in growth rate of marriage rate, which is caused by decreasing of demand for men because of lower incomes. On the contrary increase of women's unemployment rate about 1 % is connected with 0, 06% increase in growth rate of marriage rate, which indicates confirmation of women's economic independence hypothesis. Other significant variables were ratio of women to working population and income ratio. Whereas an increasing proportion of women in labor population causes decline in growth rate of marriage rate, women's catching up with men's income raises growth rate of marriage rate.

Purpose of the following work is to put near not only concrete course of wedding and baptismal ceremonies in provincial environment, it has also show of what role at these ceremonies played their immediate participants ? godfathers and wedding witnesses. Basic characteristic of all the sample recorded persons would be enable to answer questions if within small rural sociality existed its elite part which had fundamental share on its behaviour. The most important origin for research of this theme were church registers which for any single event namely recorded participation of the witness of baptism or marriage, his socio-profession position and geographical origin. Important role then played fact what particular requirements lay then society on men participating thus especial events. It was also explored question to what degree is possible thru godparents and wedding witnesses to peep into mentality and behaviour then rural sociality. Rating socio-vocational submission and place of origin of these persons emerged that the choice of witness of baptism or marriage wasn't casual and underlay to many established habits and rules. Especially at choice of godparents was more than evident that the important factor were to be familiar and well-disposed relationships within closest surroundings of every person. To men witnessing by weddings was distinctive their good property and social background, decisive role at selection of wedding witness also played possibility of representation newly married couple and their families in the eyes of others neighbours. By approach particular persons which postured in roles of witnesses or godparents most frequently was confirmed that also in rural environment subsisted small range of individuals which is possible to characterize as a local top of society. By setting this top of society into the total context allowed to achieve if and to what degree this very narrow group of inhabitants was segregate from the others. In terms of this research was more likely confirmed that the rural man was limited more by geographical than social territory. On the basis of informations about persons participating on baptisms or weddings is possible to assume that the individual parts of society were interconnected through a number of hidden familiar and friendly structures which were fundamental to its behaviour.

Hejnová, Barbora ; Löster, Tomáš (advisor) ; Vltavská, Kristýna (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis focuses on investigating the development of indicators, marriage and divorce in the Czech Republic from the period 1979 - 2009. The crude marriage rates and divorce rates are monitored for the selected countries of the European Union. The first part of the thesis describes the demographic indicators and the statistical methods for analyzing marriage and divorce. The main part of the thesis examines the evolution of these indicators in the Czech Republic from the point of view of time, but also monitors the development in relation to other demographic and social phenomena. These phenomena are age, sex, education, marital status etc. During the reporting period, the number of marriages decreased significantly. It has an indirect impact on declining birth rate and fertility in the Czech Republic. Reducing the marriage rate can be attributed to changes in society. The greater emphasis is posed on promoting individual and individualism. Although the marriage rate has dropped, the divorce rate in the period is slightly increasing.. There were not major changes in the development of divorce during the reporting period.
