Coufal, Vojtěch ; Poláková, Olga (advisor) ; Vebrová, Ludmila (referee)
The Czech Republic as well as the whole of Europe is struggling with a significant aging of the population. As a result of this unfavorable demographic development, the state pension system is becoming financially unsustainable. In this context, there have been discussions about the need for a pension reform at both professional and political level for more than 15 years now. This bachelor thesis provides a comprehensive view of this issue. The essential theoretical framework consists of the classification of pension systems and the characteristics of the Czech pension security. As an analysis of the demographic development, this work shows a need for a comprehensive systemic change. The thesis outlines reform options based largely on the conclusions of the two of Bezděk commissions. The paper analyzes changes in the Czech pension system, focusing on both small and large pension reform. Subsequently, the suitability of the changes and their fiscal and social impact, are evaluated.

Reform changes of pension reform of chosen EU countries are to be characterized in my thesis. I will also evaluate possibilities of aplication of foreign experience in the Czech Republic. The basic methods will be above all the analysis of questionnaire results, mathematical and statistical methods and method of international comparation.

Möstl, David ; Kubelková, Karina (advisor) ; Krebs, Vojtěch (referee)
In this bachelor thesis, I will be concerned with problems of pensions in the Czech Republic, and in particular of developing one's own capital for pension. At the present time it is a highly discussed topic that is often debated in different media and consulted by prominent experts. Main objective of this thesis is to find out how young people accept their personal responsibility in the area of securing their future income and what role therein is played by factors like age, education, income etc. The method of work is an analysis of the results of a questionnaire enquiry and creation of economical-political recommendations. The opening part attends to the basic characteristics of pension systems, their division and comparison. The second part answers the question why these problems are current, how the state wants to solve them, what subjects, mostly in public administration, deal with their solutions and what their conclusions are. The following part deals with possibilities to prepare capital for pension by one's own means and their comparison in terms of their efficiency for the person. The final part of the thesis analyses my own questionnaire enquiry on this subject.

Pension system reform in CR
Kučera, Mario ; Ježek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Munzi, Tomáš (referee)
The object of my diploma is focused in the pension system of The Czech Republic and the perspective of it in the future. At present there is still no problem in the financial balance of the pay-as-you-go pillar but due to the ageing of population the Czech dominant pillar will certain face to serious problems in case of no modifications. This conclusion arises from the first part of the analysis which also consists of the possible parameter modifications that could keep the system in balanced in long term. The next part is the analysis of the savings in the pension funds as the main alternative to the PAYGs. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages which are main objects of both analyses in this diploma. Beside of the ability to keep the system stabled in financial terms I examine also the equivalence of contributions to the level of pensions that is important for the motivation of people to be responsible for their financial security in their old-age. The last part deals with the experiences of the pension systems in Chile, Slovak Republic and Sweden from where we could gain the real results of the reformed systems in different way in each country. From the results of these analyses I also give some possible recommendations for the elementary modifications in Czech system in the final part.
