Adámková, Zuzana ; Kolářová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Pavlík, Petr (referee)
In diploma thesis I have focused on employing of people with disability. I am asking what opportunities have disabled people in the labor market. Do they have possibility to join some special education programs to help them find a job? Is gender important in searching a job? Most of this diploma thesis is analytical. It is focused on priorities of the Government of Czech Republic as a member of the European Union. What kind of texts, laws or directives solve the employment people with disability. The analytical part consist of interviews with disabled men and women as well as people from the labor offices. Analysis of the interviews focused on their own experience with disability, perception of gender discrimination and experience with employment. I also introduce and analyze official documents to ensure gender equality in the labor market and documents that provide equality of people with disability in the labor market. Theoretical backround consist of Feminist disability studies as well as Robert McRuer's concept of "compulsory able-bodiedness". An important part is the perception of people with disability.

Diľová, Zuzana ; Urbancová, Hana (advisor) ; Vendula, Vendula (referee)
This diploma thesis inspects the position of women in company boards. The gender equality in workplace has been a widely discussed topic during the last several years; nevertheless, the attention paid to women in leading positions remains significantly low, especially in the Czech Republic. The primary objective of this thesis is to identify and evaluate the position of women on company boards, and furthermore, to propose recommendations to ameliorate the discovered deficiencies. The theoretical part is based on the knowledge acquired from the scientific literature. The evaluation of the existing position of women in company boards is deducted from the qualitative research using semi-structured interviews with ten women from top management. These women are challenged by three fundamental barriers: work-life balance, lack of confidence and stereotypes. Due to the extensive scope of this topic, the recommendations shall be applied to three basic levels of authority: state, companies and individuals. The priority shall be put on the capacity of childcare facilities, the family-friendly oriented company policies and the personal development through mentoring and coaching.

The subject of my Bachelor thesis entitled "Gender on the Labour Market in the Czech Republic - Equal Opportunities" is a description of the functioning of labour markets and the resulting findings, as well as the analysis of the differences between men and women on the labour market in the Czech Republic. In its theoretical part, the presented thesis examines the fundamental causes and possible consequences of the emerging inequalities and it mainly focuses on these emerging inequalities, but not only on managerial (senior) positions. Its practical part contains the research work (in the form of a questionnaire), which investigates the general public's opinion on the emerging differences between men and women as to their opportunities on the labour market. The presented thesis also examines wage inequalities between men and women working on the same positions, in other words it tries to answer the essential question whether men and women in the Czech Republic can really enjoy equal opportunities.

Gender aspects of African Development
Kolcunová, Petra ; Kváča, Vladimír (advisor) ; Pavlicová, Vendula (referee)
Trade liberalization has different impacts on groups of individuals in the society. Some of them improve their situation, the other ones get worse. Due to the existing gender inequali-ties the distribution of benefits from trade liberalization between women and men is dis-proportional. The paper indentifies main areas, in which are the gender inequalities the most significant. African women are limited in their access to education, productive resources and to technologies, but also to the means of financing. These limits prevent women from full participation in trade and therefore also in economic growth of the country. The creation of new jobs in export-oriented sectors presents the main contribution of trade liberalization for African women. The income they are getting form those jobs are usually used to finance the education and health care for children, that is why their quality of life may improve. The paper concentrates on the reciprocal relation between liberalization and gender equality, which is demonstrated on the status of women in trade and in export-oriented sectors.
