On Ideological Approaches Towards the Family During the Socialist Period
Horská, P. ; Hamplová, Dana
The work describes theoretical approaches towards the family from 50s to 80s. The emphasis is especially placed on the Marxist ideology and sociology of family and on the practical implications of these theories. The first phase of the communist regime in 50s was characterised by a strongly anti-family rhetoric and politics, and this was weakened only in 60. Functionalist approach towards the family and endeavour to fight against bourgeois familiarism was typical for the period of 70s and 80s.

Junková, Petra ; Bolcha, Peter (advisor) ; Janíčko, Martin (referee)
This thesis analyses the possible existence of a relation between chosen determinants and number of children which are placed in institutes for infants and homes for children up to 3 years of age for social reasons in the Czech Republic during the period 1993 -- 2008. First part is focused on theory of the family by Gary S. Becker. It evaluates each part of the decision making process scheme and analyses the final choice of placing a child in the institutional care. In the empirical part of the thesis four determinants are selected based on the laid out theoretical ground and other related studies. These determinants which are the focal point of the empirical analysis are: registered unemployment, real household income, state social support benefits and number of women in prison. Regression analysis and analysis of the placement of children discharged from institutional care for children up to 3 years of age are the main methods of examination. Based on the conclusions of the examination there are possible measures and actions suggested, that can be taken in order to improve the state of institutional care.
