Target population of debtors in distraints as beneficiaries of public policy measures
Braun, Vojtěch ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Plaček, Michal (referee)
This diploma thesis aims to analyse the approaches of policy actors towards the target population of debtors in enforcement proceedings. The object of the research is the perceptions of debtors by the political representation and the influence of these perceptions on the proposed measures. The area of enforcement proceedings has seen considerable changes in recent years. The main changes are described in this thesis. The history of the system of enforcement proceedings in the Czech Republic is also briefly presented. The thesis analyses the media outputs of various political actors operating between 2017 and 2025, looking at how debtors are portrayed and what instruments are proposed towards them. The approach to debtors is analysed for all political parties that successfully ran for the Chamber of Deputies in the 2017 and 2021 elections. The results are interpreted using the social construction theory of target populations to explain why the definitions of target populations are constructed in that particular way and what this means for debtors. Four distinct approaches to debtors are identified and described, which differ in their perceptions of debtors, preferred changes in the area of enforcement proceedings, or their motivations.

Stanzel, Jiří ; Kotrusová, Miriam (advisor) ; Nekola, Martin (referee)
Unemployed young people as a target population in public policy Abstract Due to recent economic crisis young people up to age of 25 became one of the most endangered groups on the labour market. Disadvantaged position of young people is caused largely by inadequate structure of their qualification, lack of work experiences and work skills or unreal perception of work conditions. According to their position on labour market experts also emphasize negative effects of long-term unemployment on youth including not creating of work habits, loss of motivation to find a job and growing passivity. Unemployed young people became an important target group of public policy. The thesis works with the theory of social construction of target populations to explain policy process towards unemployed youth. It identifies existing social constructions of unemployed young people from perspective of key actors of unemployment policy. It also tries to explain how these constructions affect unemployment policy towards young people and what other factors have influence on its shape.

Social housing policy in the Czech Republic and its target group
Škarýdová, Anna ; Kotrusová, Miriam (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
The thesis "Social Housing Policy in the Czech Republic and it's target group" is focused at a contemporary situation of the social housing system and it's relationship towards the people of housing distress. It is based upon the fact, that there has been no such legislative document approved, which would be comprehensively dedicated to the issue of Social Housing Policy, although various attempts have been reappearing for the last ten years, and current government defined the approval of such a document as one of it's key political agenda. The thesis itself is based upon theoretically-methodological approach of targeted population's social construction, while using identification narrative to explain contemporary status, which occurs among policy makers. These narratives are defined as social reality overviews of researched reality and are distinguished by it's own issue definition and mutual approaches to this topic. They also defend public interests, while also creating notions about targeted population. The thesis is also dedicated to define the impact of political decisions on targeted population, distribution of burdens and benefits. Three narratives were identified, while social construction of targeted population differs. Two of the even differs by narrative itself, which highlighted the...
