Foster care of relatives in the Strakonice district.
PANUŠOVÁ, Iveta
Abstract Foster care of relatives in the Strakonice district. This seminar paper is focused on an alternative family care with a special focus on grandparents to whom a child was consigned under the authority of §45 of family law or on the grounds of relational foster-care. These forms of care are the most suitable ones for a child in a difficult life situation. That is because the child remains in his/her own family where his/her own identity is preserved. The goal of this paper is to map the quantity of children who have been consigned into relational foster-care in the Strakonice area in the period from 2005 to 2010. This goal is supplemented by two fractional goals. The first one is focused on the fact who is the first one to take care of the child in need and the second one tries to find out the most common reasons that lead to the take away of a child from its biological parents. This research was realized at the departmentats of social-legal protection in the Strakonice area. It was performed by method of analyses and comparison of documents. This work mainly points out the actual situation in relational alternative parenting in the Strakonice area.

An attitude of single young women to an institution of the marriage and the parenthood
CIPÍNOVÁ, Dagmar
The issue of marriage and partnership seems to be a rather hot topic considering the number of trial marriages, incomplete families or postponed parenthoods. My baccalaureate work deals with a research in the views and attitudes of nowaday´s young single women to the issues of marriage and parenthood. The information for my baccalaureate work has been acquired using content analysis of secondary data. Quantitative research has been selected for the monitoring of attitudes related to the work´s objectives as well as for the purposes of hypotheses testing. The data collection has been based on the method of interview and the questionnaire technique, the questionnaires containing 26 questions each. In total, one-hundred and forty questionnaires (100 %) have been distributed, one-hundred and five of them (75 %) being fully completed and usable for the research purposes. The questionnaire research was carried out in February and March 2009. The questionnaires were anonymous, pre-tested on a sample of respondents within a preliminary research. The questionnaire technique was designed in order to obtain primary data on the target population selected by random choice among young single women living in the District of České Budějovice, the only precondition being that the research was focussed exclusively on single and childless women. Two of the three determined hypotheses could not be confirmed. The research results have shown that the majority of young women wish to live and obviously will live in a marriage, even if after the lapse of a certain period of trial marriage. Concluding an official marriage or entering into the trial marriage relationship are not predominantly dependent of the level of the education achieved, whereas the length of studies or professional training may play a certain role. As far as starting a family is concerned, marriage does not pose an essential pre-condition of triggering the wish in a young woman to have a baby. The research has further confirmed the current trend of postponing marriages into a higher age as well as the rising age of women giving birth to their first baby. The results of the presented work reflect the current situation in the attitudes of young single women to the institutions of marriage and parenthood. They present a valuable source of information related to family planning and reproductive behaviour. They may also serve for the purposes of further studies in this field or may be applied as study material within programmes focussed on the given issue.

Multiple-length Parental Benefit as the Support for the Family
PÍSKOVÁ, Jana
Parental Benefit is the type of an allowance for families provided by the system of the social support in the Czech Republic. The purpose of the benefit payment is financial help coming from the state towards families with a child in times when a parent stays at home caring 24 hours for the child after the birth. Parental Benefit has been the most often amended benefit of all during its history. There were gradually introduced many changes in the length of payment, financial amount, also were introduced permissions to work while being paid benefits and the possibility to place a child in some kind of day-care institution for limited time period. The last one and the most complete amendment, which has been valid since 2008, introduced several ways of using the benefit: up to two years, three years, and four years of the child?s age. The Bachelor Work is focused on the importance of Parental Benefit as the financial support for families. There were set two goals: The first one was to find out if the current system with more time-period payments is comfortable for clients registered at the Job Center in Strakonice. The second goal was to find out if the clients make use of provisions that allow them to work together with being paid benefits. There was set a sample research group consisting of clients registered at the Job Center in Strakonice who applied for Parental Benefits. To reach the goal, there was chosen the strategy of quantitative research, requesting method, and the questionnaire. There were set two hypotheses: Hypothesis H1: "Most of clients registered at the Job Center in Strakonice choose the basic form of Parental Benefit lasting up to three years of the child?s age". Hypothesis H2: "Most of clients registered at the Job Center in Strakonice use the possibility of working while being paid Parental Benefits". H1 was confirmed. H2 was not confirmed. The work was aimed to follow Parental Benefit from the view of parents who receive the benefit and to increase public awareness of using more versions of Parental Benefits. The outcome of the work is our finding that the most of clients prefer the version lasting three years. The clients who are not allowed to choose themselves one of the mentioned options are not satisfied with the slow version lasting up to the fourth year of the child?s age. I suggest allowing of choosing the basic version of Parental Benefit lasting up to three years of the child?s age for all the clients.

Changes in Family and Marriage
ANTOŠOVÁ, Pavla
This Master Theses deals with the changes of the family and marriage in last century. The changes in the character of Czech demographic behaviour, in the field of reproduction, represent consequences of a modern cultural change, whose bearers are contemporary young Czech generation.The low marriage rate and birth rate are inevitable phenomena accompanying these cultural changes. In the 1990´s of the 20th century there was a decrease in the percentage of marrying young people.It brought about higher legitimacy to other types of households such as unmarried cohabitation, single and other alternative kinds of cohabitation. The change is also in division of roles in the family. I focus on the perception, how these changes are reflected by the church in its dogma. I also concentrate on the possibility to compare it with the findings of experts.
