Analyses the divorce rate in the Czech Republic after the year 1989
ŠVARZBERGEROVÁ, Barbora
This diploma thesis analyses the divorce rate in the Czech Republic after the year 1989. The first chapter is devoted to the definition of basic terms. Divorce is the legal dissolution of marriage during the life of spouses. Divorce is the dissolving of the bonds of matrimony between a married couple under the rule of law. Divorce is a social phenomenon reflecting the family stability, there is a transformation of traditional behavioural patterns, moral criteria and economic incentives. Since 1989 till present the divorce rate in the Czech Republic is at a high level. The second chapter of the theoretical part evaluates the development and current situation of divorce rate in our country. It is divided into three subsections: Influencing factors of divorce, causes of divorce and divorce rates in Europe. The aim of this diploma thesis is the evaluation of the development of causes of the divorce in the Czech population, capturing the specifics of the development of divorce in the new socio - economic conditions after 1989. With regard to the objective of the diploma thesis I set three hypotheses. Hypothesis 1: Compared with other EU countries in the Czech Republic the divorce rate persists at a high level after 1989. Hypothesis 2: The divorce rate varies by region in the Czech Republic. It is the highest in regions undergoing restructuring of the economy, with high unemployment rate and social problems. Hypothesis 3: The divorce rate is high in big cities and on the contrary low in traditional, predominantly, rural regions with a stable population. I conducted a quantitative research in the form of data analysis. The main source of the data was the Czech Statistical Office and Eurostat. I have analysed and compared the data which reveal the divorce rate in the Czech Republic and the EU in 2011 and the development of divorce from the year 1989. The data were analysed by correlation and spatial analysis and to compare the data I used the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test. Results show that the divorce rate in the Czech Republic in comparison with other EU countries after 1989 remains at a high level. Crude divorce rate since 1989 is around 3.0 divorces per 1000 inhabitants, which represents one of the highest divorce rates among EU countries. The divorce rate in the Czech Republic was one of the few demographic processes that were the least affected by the economic and social transformations after 1989. According to the results of the data analysis for the year 2011 I have verified, that the divorce rate in the Czech Republic is territorially differentiated, varies in different regions, cities and rural areas. High crude divorce rate is in districts undergoing restructuring of the economy and as a result there is a high rate of unemployment and social problems are emerging. The highest divorce rate in 2011 was in Česká Lípa. Conversely, the lowest crude divorce rate is the less populated districts, with a stable population and a high proportion of religious people. In 2011, the lowest crude divorce rate was in the district of Jihlava. Religion had the most statistically significant effect on the divorce rate. In districts with a higher proportion of religious people the crude divorce rate is lower than in districts with a lower proportion of religious people.

KŘÍŽKOVÁ, Zlatuše
In the theoretical part of this work I will explain the basic concepts: the role of women and men in the family, their functions in the formation of gender identity of the children, the effects of divorce disputes in terms of economic, social and mental impact of gender on the children in post-divorce custody. In the empirical part of work I will do research using qualitative methodology. I will also use a semi-standardized interview for data collection and observation as an additional method. I will work with a target group of divorced parents who experienced disputes where the custody of the child was awarded to one of the parents. I will conduct interviews with respondents who live in a small town of up to 50,000 inhabitants. I will be choosing interviewees bearing in mind that the questions will be of a personal and sensitive nature. The first respondents will be selected with and an aim in mind. Then I will proceed using a "snowball technique" in the respondents´ natural environment. All interviews will be carried out in the strictest confidentiality. The result of the qualitative survey of this work will be an in-depth description of the investigated topic "The consequences of divorce disputes for children in the context of gender arrangements in families ," or the hypothesis. In addition, conclusions will be reached on how with hindsight parents should have resolved conflicts to maintain a functional relationship between the child and the other parent.
