The Trends of Partner Cohabitation Forms in the Context of Social Policy Development
VODRÁŽKOVÁ, Magdalena
This thesis maps trends and development of partner cohabitation in relation to social policy changes. Marriage has a rich history and its form and nature has changed several times in the past. In the last sixty years, the divorce rate has risen, women have become more emancipated and their participation in the labour market. Unmarried cohabitation is similar to marriage which it also usually precedes. This type of partner cohabitation is currently more common and it sometimes replaces marriage completely. The theoretical part of this thesis also describes the founding of a family, its function and history, because starting a family is closely related to marriage and unmarried cohabitation. The remainder of the theoretical part is dedicated to social and family policy, which is characterized in greater detail, regarding its concepts, goals and tools, together with family support systems and measures. The goal of this thesis was to map preferred forms of partner cohabitation at various stages of social policy development in the Czech Republic and to determine the influence of individual social policy measures on population development in the context of marriage, birth or divorce rates in the short and long term. Two hypotheses related to the goals of this thesis have been established. Hypothesis no. 1: The concept of marriage has been more important for women than for men at all stages of social policy development. Hypothesis no. 2: University-educated individuals prefer marriage more than those with elementary education. The first part of the research results is a comparative analysis of available secondary resources relating to certain development stages of social policy in our country. The second part of the research was conducted in the form of a pilot study, using the quantitative method on questionnaires. Results indicate that significant change in the material conditions of families with children has positive effect on population growth. Women used to link marriage to motherhood and to greater certainty while raising children. The number of marriages among university graduates is increasing. This has also been caused by the higher number of people with university education. This trend started in the early 90s. Respondents with university degrees expressed the opinion that the main reason to form a marriage is having children, yet they do not consider it as important as those without university education.

The role of the Czech woman in the family from the public
KLOUDOVÁ, Hana
The contemporary role of Czech women in the families is being discussed a lot. Czech families have significantly changed and so the role of women. A traditional patriarchal model of Czech families has been disrupted.This Bachelor thesis is mapping public opinion on the role of Czech women in the families and the difference between traditional and present models. The theoretical part deals with historical development of women roles, a current structure of Czech families, new forms and ways of spouse coexistence, birth rate decline, two-career wedlocks, family roles of men and women and their housework share. A quantitative method, a questionnaire, was used for the research survey. The questionnaire consisted of 24 closed questions and 4 closed questions supplemented with factual data. Some colleagues, friends and family members from the South Bohemian region were the respondents. All of them were over 18. From two hundred questionnaires distributed, 148 were completed and used so the return rate was 74 %. Hypothesis 1 assumed a traditional family role of the Czech woman and was confirmed. Hypothesis 2 assuming high absence of ?a new woman? in a Czech family was not confirmed. Although the findings show a prevalance of the traditional family model, the percentage of traditional views has declined compared to the previous sociological research surveys. A man has lost his traditional breadwinner role while a woman, except for her housework and child care, is fully employed, earns quite big money, attends courses of further professional development and represents her husband. The findings of this Bachelor work can serve students of social and health care studies and form a basis for further research work in this field.

Infidelity as a divorce rate factor
SOUČKOVÁ, Beáta
The thesis is focused on the phenomenon of infidelity and its impact mainly on marriages. The main aim is to support a predication that infidelity doesn{\crq}t necessarily have to be the essence of a partners` problem which affects a relationship of a married couple and fills divorce statistics but that it is a symptom of a dysfunctional relationship in the first place. The thesis is also focusing on identification of impacts which a psychotherapy had on a marriage recovery in presented casuistic cases and what the nature of partners life together can be after the partners have taken part in a psychotherapy. The theoretical part of the work is dealing with a reception of infidelity by the general public, a distinction of motivations and causes of infidelity and its levels in term of jeopardy of relationships. In the thesis there is also a chapter focused on a divorce rate factor, which is closely connected with the phenomenon of infidelity, and a chapter describing possible solutions which can be used in case of infidelity jeopardy of a relationship. The practical part consists mainly of casuistic cases in which infidelity is described from its beginning to its outcomes to which it leads by means of psychotherapy.
