Current trends in crime in the Czech Republic
BLÁHOVÁ, Radka
After 1989, our society as a whole underwent many changes: our proprietary relati-ons as well as our value system changed, a new social phenomenon unemployment emerged, and the crime rate in the Czech Republic went up rapidly. The aim of this un-dergraduate thesis is to map current trends in the development of crime in the Czech Republic. I have therefore focused on studying the effects of unemployment on the dy-namics of crime in selected regions of the Czech Republic. The main objective of my thesis is to test the causality between unemployment and crime, as well as as a partial goal to verify the impact of long-term unemployment on the crime rate in general. The thesis is divided into a theoretical part and empiric part. In the theoretical part, I concentrated on defining the concept of criminality as such, and on examining the etio-logy of crime and its structure. The empiric part focuses on the testing of hypotheses. The basic hypothesis presumes that employment has a direct effect on crime rate, main-taining as a working hypothesis that the dynamics of general crime rate correspond to the development of long-term unemployment. During my work on the thesis, I used the quantitative research strategy, the statistical method, and secondary analysis of do-cuments as the data collection technique. I collected the relevant data from two basic sources, namely: data on labor and social trends from the Statistical Yearbooks that the Czech Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs published in the years of 2005 to 2014 and data from the public database of the Czech Statistical Office, where the CSO publishes data on all crimes recorded and identified. My choice of data was purposeful in that I divided the data into four basic sets, namely: annual reviews of the average number of job applicants; the number of job applicants unemployed longer than 12 months (status as of December 31 of the given calendar year); total crime rate and general crime rate from 2005 to 2014 in all the regions of the Czech Republic and Prague; and then the same for all districts in the Vysočina Region, South Bohemian Region, South Moravian Region during the years of 2005 - 2014. The results of my research did not prove a direct linear relation between crime dy-namics and total unemployment, hence my basic hypothesis has not been confirmed. The second area of my research did confirm that long-term unemployment impacts on the general crime rate in the given regions. Thus, the results of my work proved the existence of a link between long-term unemployment and crime rate. The study could therefore be used as support material when devising crime prevention programs on local or regional level. Simultaneously, however, I maintain that delinquency cannot be unambiguously associated with pro-blems arising from low social status.

The influence of labour market rigidity level on unemployment in selected EU countries in 2014 and 2015
Soustružník, Tomáš ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; Hájek, Jan (referee)
This thesis analyzes the impact of labour market rigidity on long-term and youth unemployment in the Czech Republic, France and Great Britain over the last 15 months. A regulation becomes an integral part of the labour market, since its primary objective is to protect the rights of employees and employers, thereby it leads to dampening the speed of adaptation to market changes. The thesis provides a comparison of Labour Codes, including the assessement of other factors affecting labour market flexibility. The facts are subsequently applied to the development of unemployment rates in all three countries. Combining data analysis and theoretical research, I reached the conclusion that the relation between rigidity level and unemployment rate is negative. This means that the more rigid labour market is the higher long-term and youth unemployment causes.

Long-term unemployment among people with higher education in the district Strakonice
KALBÁČOVÁ, Marie
Long-term unemployment is defined by Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as a state when individuals are unemployed and look for a job for 12 months or longer. Mainly unskilled labor is threatened by long-term unemployment, individuals with accumulated social and physical handicap, members of minorities and migrants. It does not influence only the person who appears in this social situation ( reduction of living standart of the person and his family, social isolation, loss of social status) and it influences life of his close family as well. Employment and unemployment are defined at the introduction to the theoretical part of the thesis. Next part is focused on solution of this issue in national and international documents with a specific division into active employment policy instruments. Final part describes district Strakonice and highlights the various regions. It evaluates the development of unemplyment among university graduates in the years 2009-2013 and makes a comparison with countrywide data. The objective of this work is to analyze the unemployment among people with university education in district Strakonice in the years 2009-2013 and to answer research questions assessing the impact of the current economic crisis on unemployment of university graduates during assessing their professional status in relation to the financial costs of the employer. For the fulfilment of the objectives there was used a qualitative research method using semi-structured interview technique. There were used two samples. The first one was created by 15 jobseekers with university education registered by the regional branch of the Labour Office CR in České Budějovice- contact office in Strakonice longer than 1 year and the second sample consisted of 30 employers with headquarters in district Strakonice employing more than 25 employees. The survey was carried out in the district of Strakonice from October 2013 to January 2014 under the personal meetings with employers and individual inerviewing with candidates. For each group of communication partners was carried out a preliminary research. Based on the research there was found out that the economic crisis had not a direct impact on long-term unemployment of university graduates. During the interviewing there were mapped other facts which prevent their entry into the labour market ( field of education, lack of practice, age,health, child care, housing in a location with low transport services). Some of these barriers can be influenced by using active employment policy, activity of the unemployed, effective consulting services of workers at the Labour Office. In the monitored years employers mostly did not accept new employees, chances of getting a job were under these circumstances reduced. During finding out whether the university positions are offered to people with secondary education resulted that nowadays employers during tender assess the aplicants more comprehensively and ask besides equivalent qualification for other skills as well. The engineering field can be assessed in a different way, the field is typical for Strakonice district which reports vacancies, whose occupation is problematic because of lack of engineering graduates, to the office for a long time. Mostly big firms cope with this problem and these facts are declared with research reports of National Institute for education. Research , as a byproduct, identified weaknesses in provided consulting services to clients of Labour Office and the proposed publicity for target groups of the projects funded under the European Social Fund. The research results can be used to improve the consulting work with the unemployed . Outputs can be presented on the visits with secondary school students and their educational advisors or use them as sub-material for negotiations with employers, representatives of educational institutions and local government units.
