Nevertheless, the French approach cannot be considered a coherent policy of employment of older people. It is rather a set of measures which originated from concessions of the subjects on the labour market The...

Lišoková, Nikol ; Klepek, Cyril (advisor) ; Prudká, Šárka (referee)
The paper focuses on the labour market of older people in the Czech Republic between 2007 and 2014. Population aging is becoming a trend in almost all European countries, while there is a gradual increase in the age for retirement, therefore it is important to improve the employment of older people. The theoretical part of the thesis presents information about the labour market of older people followed by the tools suitable for reducing unemployment. In the empirical part, the emphasis was to determine the effectiveness of ESF projects aiming to reduce unemployment of older people. Based on the analysis of primary data and on the questionnaire survey, 77% of people employed in subsidized jobs lost their job after the subsidy period. For this reason, projects are evaluated as inefficient.

Petrusová, Alena ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (referee)
The thesis deals with unemployment of elderly people in the Czech Republic and tries to find out reasons of their increasing unemployment in comparison with younger inhabitants. Therefore it describes the effectiveness of labour market and the unemployment questions in the theoretical part. The thesis then analyzes the development of employment and unemployment of elderly in the last years and based on this it detects that the employment of elderly is increasing due to restrictions of escape to inactivity though, but their unemployment is increasing too. This work finds out that older people are disadvantaged on the labour market and describes arguments leading to incuriousness for elderly on the part of firms. The prediction of future development of their unemployment says that chances to success on the labour market may rise up for elderly. In conclusion there are presented government measures to support status of elderly on the labour market in the Czech Republic and there are shown eventual solutions of their unemployment.
