Causes of income inequality in the European Union
Sýkorová, Barbora ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Brožová, Dagmar (referee)
The thesis focuses on income inequality. It examines the occurrence of income inequality in the European Union and analyzes its causes through fixed effect method and three robustness tests among 23 countries between years 2005 -- 2013. The causes are divided into social demographic factors, labor market factors and factors of the globalization. The thesis confirms the influence of tertiary education on income distribution which is negatively correlated with Gini coefficient. The number of people aged 65 and older, together with the number of single households within the entire population, correlates positively with the income inequality level. Furthermore, the following factors turned out to be significant: the occurrence of part-time job contracts and labor taxation. The amount of temporary employees causes income inequality to decrease which is in contrast with the theoretical premise.
