The analysis of succes of the german labour market reform in the context of the economic crisis
Lad, Richard ; Durdisová, Jaroslava (advisor) ; Kubelková, Karina (referee)
The thesis is focused on a problem of a high unemployment that is connected with unefficient and uneffective employment policy. The aim of this thesis is to review the possibility of the usage of several types of reforms with highly activating elements on the employment policy in a strong social focused state. First, reforms focused on high quality job programmes made by the employment office; second, programmes dealing with motivation of unemployed persons and, finally, reforms on creating of new working possitions by bussinessmen. An example of such reforms has been presented by the german labour market, which dealt with the problem of high unemployment by a number of radical reforms called Hartz I-IV. The reviews on the recent state of the german employment market made by other authors are very critical to the outcome of these reforms. Ambitions of this thesis are to review the reality of the german labour market in the last decade using the methods of statistically-analytic tools applied on the labour market indicators and to look back to the results of the german labour market during the economic crisis focusing on its stability and flexibility.

VENUŠOVÁ, Alena
Bachelor thesis Employment policy of the EU in the cohesion region {\clqq}Jihozápad`` is divided into nine chapters. Two chapters depict the basic legal documents of the European Union and of the Czech Republic in employment policies and show institutional structures and instruments of the European Union, such as EPSCO - Council for Employment, Social Policy, Health and Consumer Protection, EURES - European Employment Services, European Social Fund, or very specific employment strategies. The fourth and fifth chapters explain the characteristics of the cohesion region Jihozápad. I will show that the whole region has a fairly low unemployment rate for the Czech Republic. Other subchapters refer to projects financed from European funds and to the progress of the Lisbon Strategy at the regional level. The heart of the thesis is the sixth chapter. This is the practical section, where I submit a questionnaire and an analysis of newspaper and magazine articles on employment policy in the EU. A summary in French and a bilingual glossary are included.

The assessment of the benefits of activation services of educational programmes for people entering the labour market
HOUDKOVÁ, Pavlína
This paper deals with the aspects of working with the unemployed, their views and impacts of services that are offered to jobseekers. The theoretical part deals with the explanations and definitions of the basic concepts of unemployment and employment policy. It deals with health and social consequences of unemployment and the situation of the unemployed. The objective was to determine whether the activation of clients through additional services is beneficial and causes positive changes in the views of the unemployed. Furthermore, to map what other additional activation services are important to jobseekers and which of these services are made available to them through employment offices. To achieve the objectives I used the combination of a quantitative and qualitative research, called the mixed-type research. In the research part, I worked with a total of three groups of respondents. It was a group of jobseekers in the questioning to map services for the unemployed. I used a research group and a control group to find out about the benefits of additional activating services. The research group consisted of participants in training courses with additional activation services. The control group consisted of jobseekers who had participated in retraining courses without activation services. The questioning took place at the beginning of the course and at its end. The responses to the questions were compared within each group and also between them. Through testing defined null hypotheses and by comparing the values I found that the motivation of the trainees with additional activation services to seek a job is greater than in the control group. Additional activation services are therefore beneficial. The questioning to map services for the unemployed showed a lack of supply offered by employment offices to the unemployed. Jobseekers declared an interest in these services. Based on the factors identified, it would be beneficial in the future to extend the standard training courses by adding motivational and self-development activities. Employment offices should promote their services with an emphasis on individual groups of jobseekers. To offer, on a regular basis, activities aimed at the acquisition of practical skills necessary for successful job search.

Long-term unemployment of single-parent mothers
WANKA, Pavel
This degree paper deals with the long-term unemployment of one of the most risk groups in the labour market {--} the single-parent mothers. It is a very current topic. Recently, the share of babies born to single-parent mothers has had a growing tendency and the divorce rate has been increasing. More often it is a woman rather than a man who heads the incomplete family. Lonely mothers have to face a difficult task. They have to cope with everyday care of their child on one side and to fulfil the duties of a family provider on the other side. For employers, a single-parent mother with a dependent child is problematic labour force with specific demands on working hours and higher probability of more frequent absences due to caring for a sick family member. These women are therefore willing to take ``worse{\crqq} job which does not correspond to their qualification and education. A lonely mother{\crq}s family is dependent on the income of one of the parents only. Although the father of the dependant has a duty to maintain and support his child as stipulated in the Family Act, he does no fulfil it quite often. Unemployment, especially lasting on a long-term basis, represents a significant social problem for a single-parent family. The standard of living is reduced, and the family has to face the threat of poverty, which is more significant as it regards the children as well. Long-term unemployed single-parent mothers are frequent beneficiaries of social benefits which allow them to survive on a subsistence level. Lonely mothers in this situation chose various strategies to secure alternative income, or take various money-saving measures. They often seek and find help in informal social networks which seem to be very important in such situations. Consequences of long-term unemployment can be a cause of social exclusion. Theoretical part of this degree paper maps the life situation of single-parent mothers with regard to their specific chances of assertion on the labour market. It further deals with the offers of child day care services and the system of support from the state. It also informs of the employment policy measures and flexible forms of employment as a means to harmonize the areas of the work and the family. The degree paper also contains information on the pro-family measures being prepared and approved by the government in November 2008. The research part of the degree paper is focused on identification of the attitudes and strategies of long-term unemployed mothers.

UNEMPLOYMENT OF PEOPLE OVER 50 YEARS OF AGE {--} OBSTACLES HINDERING THEM FROM FINDING A JOB
FURIŠOVÁ, Hana
Our position in the labour market is conditioned by a number of features (age, state of health, education, sex, ethnic origin) which define groups of people who are more endangered by a loss of job and predestined to be unemployed. Each of these groups has its specific problems or ``obstacles`` which prevent them from getting a job again. One of these groups includes people over fifty years of age. If an individual has problems to find a job at the beginning or in the middle of their carrier life, their chances of getting a job as they grow older are even smaller. Many people have to face the crisis of basic social securities. Situations when a person is, in a very short time, permanently separated from the results of their long-term efforts, from their social status, their colleagues and income are fairly frequent. The objective of the work was to define the obstacles which hinder unemployed people of over fifty years of age from finding a job, and to point out the issue of unemployment in this age group. The research was carried out in the Labour Bureau in České Budějovice and in the Labour Bureau in Strakonice. Methods of qualitative research were used, specifically a Questionnaire and an Analysis of the content of documents. The following hypotheses were determined: 1. The greatest obstacle preventing people older than fifty from finding a job is the lack of qualifications. 2. Along with an improvement of the situation in the labour market the number of unemployed people in this age category registered in the Labour Bureau decreases. The hypotheses were confirmed. The research showed that the greatest obstacle for these unemployed people are their qualifications which are insufficient and do not correspond with the current requirements of the labour market. It was also discovered that the number of people in the 50+ category increases or decreases depending on the general development of the unemployment rate. However, changes in the 50+ category are not very significant, and therefore, the ratio of applicants in the 50+ category keeps increasing as compared to the total number of job applicants. That is why the 50+ category rightly ranks among risky groups of unemployed people. In order to improve the chances of the 50+ workers in the labour market, it is necessary to improve their professional qualifications, eliminate age discrimination and modify working conditions in such a way to enable these people to find a job even in spite of various health restrictions. Elderly workers would have to change their opinion regarding retaining a job, their attitude to acquiring new skills and they would have to become more flexible to match the present labour market. The issue of unemployment of people over fifty years of age is and will be topical since it can be expected that the trend of ageing of the population and the increasingly dynamic features of the economy based on modern technologies, will make it increasingly difficult for such people to find a job.
