The work set up three research questions, which copied the contents of its objectives: ? What is the respondent´s subjective social status? ? Do the chosen structures of employment have any influence on the social status of the respondent? ? Do the exercised profession has any influence on the subjective declarated heslth?

Pension reform in the Czech Republic - approach of system dynamics
PAPEŽ, Vladimír
The main aim of this diploma thesis is to provide a paradigmatic view on the future development of the pension system in Czech Republic within the environment of the system dynamics. This objective incorporates the goal of creating a dynamic model that will sufficiently informative and includes the key aspects, both the current and the future form of the pension system (PS) in Czech Republic. The results of the current form of PS conclude that under the presumption of slightly unfavourable demographic development and constancy of PS is the system unsustainable. The model also points out the fact that the problem of PS could be solved through its partial adjustment. Under the assumption of gradually increasing pension tax rate, opposed with the real value of pension benefit and gradual pension age postponement up to 71 years. The results of the pension form post reformed analysis pension form are based on the assumption of intergenerational schism. That means different attitudes to the pension system reform. Pension system post reformed analysis results coincidently work with the fact that all people under 30 years (year 2009) will join the voluntary pension fund system. The current scenarios consider that the coming generation of working population will without exception enter this voluntary system. The older population (aged over 31 years) will not participate in the pension reform. Another common feature of the proposed scenarios is the fact that all individuals will join the capital pillar (the pension voluntary system) at the beginning of the year 2013. When comparing current and post reform form of the pension system a remarkable finding has arisen. The model of the post reform PS shows considerably worse results than is model of the current PS form.

Education and HIV: Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa
Kopecký, Tadeáš ; Chytilová, Julie (advisor) ; Korbel, Václav (referee)
The HIV/AIDS epidemic remains a large threat for developing countries, es- pecially for Sub-Saharan Africa. To be able to fight the epidemic, we need to understand the socio-economic drivers of it to distinguish the groups of people at the highest risk of the HIV. We performed an econometric analysis using logistic regression dealing with the relationship between education and several HIV connected factors - HIV status, HIV knowledge and sexual behavior - based on a large sample from 21 Sub-Saharan African countries from Demographic and Health Survey data collection from years 2008-2014. The education ap- pears to be non-lineary correlated with the HIV status as people with primary and secondary education are at the highest risk of being HIV positive. These results can be nevertheless influenced by e.g. survivorship bias as the education appears to have a positive effect on both HIV knowledge and protective sexual behavior. It is thus advised to promote education in the Sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, it is needed to target the help primary to the groups at the highest risk of being HIV positive to prevent further spread of HIV and to help families of the HIV positive individuals. Moreover, we found that there is no significant difference in the correlation between education and HIV status between...

Dohled vykonávaný ČNB
Byrtus, Eva ; Mates, Pavel (advisor) ; Barák, Josef (referee)
Centrální bankovnictví vzniklo na našem území r. 1816, založením Privilegované Rakouské národní banky. Dále zde působila Rakousko-Uherská banka (1878-1918), Národní banka Československá (1926-1950), Státní banka Československá (1950-1993) a Česká národní banka (od 1.1.1993). V období po vzniku samostatného československého státu (1918-1926) zastával činnosti spojené s emisí oběživa Bankovní úřad Ministerstva financí. Česká národní banka má zakotvený svůj cíl, postavení a činnosti v Ústavě ČR a zákoně o ČNB. Jedná se o ústřední banku státu a orgán vykonávající dohled nad finančním trhem. Hlavním cílem ČNB je péče o cenovou stabilitu. Za její nejdůležitější činnosti lze považovat určování měnové politiky a výkon dohledu. Dále emituje oběživo, stará se o devizové hospodářství, přijímá vklady a poskytuje úvěry bankám a zajišťuje operace pro stát. Poprvé v zákoně o SBČS z r. 1989 je zmínka o bankovním dohledu. Činnost dohledu se relativně vyvíjela. Postupně přešla od prosté kontroly dodržování právních předpisů k široké činnosti zahrnující povolovací, kontrolní, analytickou, legislativní, koordinační a jinou činnost. Nejdůležitější témata posledních let pro dohled ČNB jsou konsolidovaný dohled, jednotná evropská licence, centrální registr úvěrů, integrace regulátorů na finančním trhu a nová kapitálová koncepce Basel II. ČNB jako regulátor a dohlížející vydává licence a povolení k činnosti. Dále sleduje subjekty, jejich zdraví a v případě, že zjistí pochybení, může udělit opatření k nápravě či sankci. Při vážných problémech přistupuje k odejmutí licence. Zatímco v bankovnictví se považuje odejmutí licence za nástroj, který by se neměl často používat, v pojišťovnictví, ale především na kapitálovém trhu se jedná o účinný nástroj podporující morálku ostatních subjektů. Základní formy výkonu dohledu jsou dohled na místě a dohled na dálku. Prostřednictvím dohledu na dálku je subjekt pravidelně sledován a kontrolován. Je zajišťován stálým inspektorem, který se specializuje na daný podnik(y). Subjekty finančního trhu jsou povinny v určitých periodách zasílat finanční výkazy. Výsledkem jsou vzájemně porovnatelné ukazatele, které by měly naznačit situaci podniku. Dohled na dálku je nezbytné doplňovat dohledem na místě. Často je pojímán jako návštěva subjektu zaměřená na konkrétní problém, např. sledování určitého rizika.
