Pechholdová, Markéta ; Rychtaříková, Jitka (advisor) ; Kraus, Jaroslav (referee) ; Vallin, Jacgues (referee)
Úmrtnost podle příčin v České republice, Německu a Francii v uplynulých čtyřech desetiletích Abstrakt Cílem práce je zhodnocení vývoje úmrtnosti podle příčin v České republice, Německu (bývalé SRN) a Francii za uplynulých čtyřicet let. Základním problémem demografického studia úmrtnosti podle příčin je dostupnost a srovnatelnost dat, a to jak v čase tak mezi jednotlivými zeměmi. Časová srovnatelnost je narušována pravidelnými revizemi mezinárodní klasifikace nemocí (MKN), zatímco srovnatelnost v mezinárodním měřítku je ztěžována různými interpretacemi této klasifikace v jednotlivých zemích. První (a převážná) část práce je proto věnována procesu rekonstrukce časově srovnatelných řad úmrtnosti podle příčin v Německu a v České Republice. V druhé části jsou poté tato získaná data porovnána s již existujícími dlouhodobými řadami pro Francii. Z výsledků vyplývá, že takto zpracovaná data poskytují velmi solidní základ pro analýzu příčinných podmíněností úmrtnosti a nacházejí tak širší uplatnění ve studiu teorie epidemiologického (nebo nověji zdravotního) přechodu. Klíčová slova: úmrtnost, příčiny úmrtí, MKN, Česká republika, SRN, Francie Four decades of cause-specific mortality in the Czech Republic, West Germany and France Abstract The study aims at analysis of cause-specific mortality trends in the Czech...

Makroekonomický dopad mateřské (a rodičovské) dovolené ve srovnání České Republiky s Brazílií
Kalkusová, Marie ; De Castro, Tereza (advisor) ; Neumann, Pavel (referee)
This thesis aims to estimate the macroeconomic impact of maternity and parental/paternal leave in the Czech Republic and Brazil. In addition, the thesis stresses out the costs of Czech model application to Brazil and vice-versa. The first chapter brings a theoretical framework. It compares the analyzed policies in both countries and introduces the relevant terms. The second chapter estimates the costs of maternity and parental/paternal leave related to public expenditure and GDP for the years 2005-2014 and brings own simulation model for Czech model application to Brazil and vice-versa. The third chapter analyses the inefficiencies and suggest possible mitigation. The results show the costs of 0.71% of GDP and 1.66% of public expenditure in the Czech Republic and 0.50% GDP and 2.27% of public expenditure in Brazil in 2014. The Czech model applied in Brazil would be very costly and the opposite scenario would lead to the decrease of macroeconomic burden in the Czech Republic. The thesis also analyzes the influence of maternal and parental leave in other areas, such as labor market, where the current structure may penalize Czech women in long term. By this analysis, the thesis contributes to the current debate about the impact, the length and costs of maternity and parental leave.
