Integration of homeless people on the labour market
Šprlák, Tomáš ; Hubinková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Lukeš, Martin (referee)
This thesis concerns the homelessness, which is an important problem of modern society. The problem is treated from the viewpoint of the integration of homeless people on the labour market. The theoretical part concerns the historical development of work as a factor of the social cohesion, labour market mechanisms with emphasis on the problem of the social exclusion, unemployment and homelessness. Empirical part shows the results of an inquiry realized on 23 homeless people in Prague and includes three case studies. It is shown that work has an important integrative role in the society as homelessness is connected with high unemployment (above 70%), low intensity of labour market activities (11 hours per week in average) and instability of employment (more than 50% stated working only one day in one employment in average). This is caused by multiple factors on the side of the homeless person himself (loss of identity card, high age, loss of working habits), the employer (illegal employment and discrimination) as well as broader system context (labour market inflexibilities).
