Ďulíková, Kateřina ; Barák, Vladimír (advisor) ; Vebrová, Ludmila (referee)
The topic of the bachelor's thesis is the actual situation of age discrimination of women in small and medium-sized enterprises in the Czech Republic in 2015. First part of the thesis deals with explanation of some important terms related to age discrimination in the labour-market. It also contains the legislative setting of this issue at domestic and international level. In the second part, the survey methodology is used for comparison of discrimination of women according to their age and the size of an enterprise. The data analysis based on this research shows that ageism constitutes a problem for all age groups and not only for elderly people as claimed by many theories. When comparing the intensity of ageism in small and medium-sized enterprises, we can say that this issue is present in both categories mentioned above and its intensity differs according to the age of the employee and also pursuant to situations when the employee is treated unfairly.

Pagáčová, Ilona ; Němec, Otakar (advisor) ; Glumbíková, Kateřina (referee)
Age management is closely related to professional abilities and their maintaining trough advanced age. Thesis examines topic from point of view of corporations and its goal is to analyze and amend existing recommendations for implementation of the concept in Czech Republic. In order to achieve this goal, companies that engage in Age management implementation were addressed. Interviews were conducted in HR departments of three major corporations. This revealed that the concept is not widely used in Czech Republic at this time. There are no complex strategies and age management is being applied sporadically. There is a great effort to maintain good health of employees but it was also found out that awareness rising is insufficient. Testing using a method of Work Ability Index is being implemented and strategic application of the concept is being prepared.

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.

Vaňatková, Hana ; Kapinusová, Jana (advisor) ; Stočková, Olga (referee)
Work presents the unemployment of persons in pre-retired age (50-60 years) on the Czech labour market. The main objective was to confirm or disprove the hypothesis that older people are worse employable because they do not have such mobility in the labour market as young people and are less adaptable. This hypothesis is confirmed also by questionnaire investigation which was carried out among employers and which has the greatest contribution to this work. The chapters in theoretical part of the work are devoted to labour market, unemployment, discrimination and employment policy in Czech Republic. Next sections examine unemployment rates since 90's till present both generally in whole state and in group of pre-retired aged people. Work also deals with the effects influencing the unemployment rate of this group of people, namely education, health and regional differences. It describes factors that affect employees' decisions, whether to stay in the labour market or leave. The conclusion describes possible solutions to the unemployment.

Stárnutie pracovnej sily a veková diskriminácia na trhu práce
Porubská, Lenka ; Brožová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Janíčko, Martin (referee)
Discrimination as well as ageing populations are very discussed topics nowadays. It can be viewed from population, demografic or economic point of view. The aim of this paper is to discover, if those two concepts have some common economic relations with regard to labour market. We will see that Czech Republic is not any different from other EU member states in dealing with age discrimination, ageing populations or changing in productive age limits. In this paper I will model the situations in which age discrimination could, but does not have to occur, and I will give legal reasons for it. I will also show how the ageing populations influence labour market and what consequences does it have. I will compare the statistic data with my own research and draw a situation in Czech Republic. I will focus on population of higher age and with anonymous questionnaire I will describe this problem from their point of view.

Petrusová, Alena ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (referee)
The thesis deals with unemployment of elderly people in the Czech Republic and tries to find out reasons of their increasing unemployment in comparison with younger inhabitants. Therefore it describes the effectiveness of labour market and the unemployment questions in the theoretical part. The thesis then analyzes the development of employment and unemployment of elderly in the last years and based on this it detects that the employment of elderly is increasing due to restrictions of escape to inactivity though, but their unemployment is increasing too. This work finds out that older people are disadvantaged on the labour market and describes arguments leading to incuriousness for elderly on the part of firms. The prediction of future development of their unemployment says that chances to success on the labour market may rise up for elderly. In conclusion there are presented government measures to support status of elderly on the labour market in the Czech Republic and there are shown eventual solutions of their unemployment.
