The Development of Single-person Households after 1989 and Its Effects on Social Benefits
Zákostelecká, Eliška ; Vybíralová, Ivana (advisor) ; Krebs, Vojtěch (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the development of single households after 1989 and the effects it has on social expenses. Increasing number of single-person households reflects the growth in the level living and also some changes in opinions about the family. The loss of some significant functions of the family causes divergence from it. This trend is explicit among certain groups of young people called singles who postpone their reproductive age. The increase of single-person households is connected with some threats to the state and the whole society. These households are more threatened by poverty and, at least economically, more dependent on the state. The state tries to ensure them the same living conditions as the other families have. Many social benefits are modified in the interest of these households and they cause a positive discrimination therefore. In the light of social benefits, an individual is more costly than a person from a two person household. Besides, giving priority to living alone has a negative consequence to the future -- a denatality.
