Trousilová, Jana ; Geissler, Hana (advisor) ; Jelínková, Marie (referee)
The thesis deals with the illegal employment of the third countries' foreigners in the Czech Republic. Since foreign labor migration is a subject set by the legislation, the thesis introduces the development of labor migration in the setting of policy and foreign employment in terms of institutional and legal framework. Another part is based on interviews I conducted with employers, strangers, staff offices and experts. Due to the persistent illegal labor supply and demand, I focused on the motives that lead employers and foreigners to apply that kind of illegal employment. Themes, however, cause a number of consequences, so I focused on the consequences that affect not only migrants themselves but also the state.The next part of my thesis deals with the individual groups of respondents. I focused on setting the current employment system and on the labor market conditions from the sight of addressed respondents. In conclusion, I point out the possible solutions to the mentioned problems in order to reduce the illegal employment of foreigners.

Svobodová, Lucie Magdalena ; Kotrusová, Miriam (advisor) ; Geissler, Hana (referee)
This bachelor thesis looks into informal long-term care in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Providing informal care can be hard and often has negative impacts on informal caregivers, which can even lead to burnout syndrome. But usually informal caregivers do not have a different choice because of unavailable formal care or the pressure of generation solidarity. The author describes long-term care in Czechoslovakia before 1989 in order to confirm or refute the validity of path dependence theory; she uses Sigrid Leitner's typology. Then she pinpoints the role of informal caregivers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia and afterwards she draws a comparison between them. The comparative analysis is based on given criteria, it especially focuses on informal caregivers' rights and obligations. Lastly, the author tries to apply discovered similarities and differences between the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the path dependence theory and verify its validity.

Czech and Slovak republic invest in human capital of graduates through active employment policies in two fundamental ways. They attempt to integrate candidates to the labor market and thereby to secure them a work experience or to invest in the human capital of graduates directly through requalification or other educational courses. In the Czech Republic graduates and young people are not defined by law as a risk group in the labor market since 1.1.2012 and the only measure that is explicitly targeted at this group is a program funded by the European Social Fund called "internships in companies - learning experience." Slovakia dedicates a tool called "graduate practice" to graduates, which encourages employers through contributions to creating jobs for graduates at least for the duration of...
