Wage differentials Men and Women in the Czech Republic (Respectively in other EU Countries)
Pippalová, Veronika ; Bartošová, Jitka (advisor) ; Bína, Vladislav (referee)
Master thesis is the assessment of the income situation of men and women in the Czech Republic or other European Union countries, according to various socio-economic, demographic and regional factors. Income of persons is influenced by many factors. There are some of them analysed in distribution according to gender, with a focus to find differences and compliance. The effort to detect influential factors on total income is a part of this thesis. The theoretical and methodological section describes the current situation of this issue not only in the Czech Republic, together with a reflection on the causes of differences in income and the precaution taken mainly in the Czech Republic. In the practical part there are tested two hypotheses related with income disparities and gender (sex). Central values of incomes were processed broken down by gender and selected factors. Also absolute and relative frequencies in data were analysed and were created two models which examine the dependence of income on selected factors. Incomes in selected countries were compared as supplement. Results are achieved by statistical methods. Output of this work is to assess the income gap between men and women based on available data and to verify hypotheses.

Small country turning left: Ecuador's economic development before and after 2007 in the context of current political change in South America.
Bartus, Roberto ; Žamberský, Pavel (advisor) ; Taušer, Josef (referee)
Leftist governments are not very popular in media. However, South America seems to have ignored the critics and has elected several left wing governments in the recent years. This is also the case of Ecuador, a relatively small country, which has gone through interesting political and economic reforms since 2007. This thesis will try to evaluate the economic performance of Ecuador after this change happened, within the context of the general regime change to leftist or anti-neoliberal policies in the rest of the South American continent. The performance will be first compared between the countries according to their government's ideology through an econometric analysis of a group of economic, socio-economic and perceptual variables. After that, a more detailed analysis will be performed on Ecuador's indicators. Interestingly, results show an overall improvement of economic and socio-economic conditions in the countries under the leftist rule, which relies on a strong civic support, compared to the countries still following the neoliberal policies. The case study of Ecuador pretends to provide an example. of a successful performance since the country turned left in 2007.While this area is rarely analyzed, this thesis contributes some knowledge to the field about effectiveness of the current political economy in Latin America Moreover, it contributes to undermine critics often widespread in the media in cooperation with certain states and organizations for keeping the current unequal distribution of power and wealth intact.

Bolivia: Capitalism, Socialism, and Feudalism Balancing between Cuba and the USA
Smetáček, Martin ; Pavlík, Petr (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
The work is dealing with the research of the socio-economic structures in the Bolivian society, which as a result of historical evolution embody distinct anomalies with an implication into the political sphere. The goal of the work is to offer a material on the basis of which it will be possible to detect and understand those inner tensions and to orientate ourselves in the present turbulent environment which the Bolivian society is currently undergoing. The fore theme is the approach of these processes in the light of the ongoing "indigenous revolution" conducted by the platform MAS led by Evo Morales. The author is using a synthetic method, when first he concentrates on the individual problematic fields and later summarizes, connects and synthetically implies concrete conclusions. The very results of the work can be used by those interested in the study of Bolivia for economical, sociological and political purposes or even by economic entities planning an entrance into the Bolivian environment. In the work the author has used his personal experience and pieces of knowledge gained during his three months staying in Bolivia as well as other information obtained from broad currently accessible scientific publications, documents ant further up-to-date resources.

Vede (příjmová) nerovnost k většímu násilí ve společnosti?
Mlčoch, Tomáš ; Houdek, Petr (advisor) ; Bartoň, Petr (referee)
The article investigates the impact of inequality on violence in society using the data from the EU for the years from 2005 to 2008. The results show a positive and significant impact (in 2005) of inequality on violent crime while increase by one point in the Gini index means an increase in violent crime by 6,1%. Moreover, I find the relationship with the GDP growth and prison population significant, and negative correlation with GNI PPP per capita and the number of police officers. Above all, the Power Distance Index (measuring perceived inequality and centralisation of power) has a very significant and positive effect on violent crime, an increase in 1 point means an increase in violent crime by 1,8%. The factor of residential segregation is also discussed as a limit or a bias during the investigation of the effect of inequality and violence using the data from a smaller territorial unit than the state-level.

Vzdělanostní mobilita v období socialismu
Simonová, Natalie
In my contribution I recapitulated up to now findings about character and extent of educational inequalities in the socialist Czech Republic and I showed what the results of verification of existing findings (through a new mobility analysis) are. The mobility point of view with the help of log-linear modelling led to identify specific local structural contexts, i.e. in what way Czech education mobility system (pre-socialist and socialist) evolved.

Educating Communist Cadres: School Re-Entry and Sponsored Educational Mobility in State Socialism
Kreidl, Martin
This paper analyzes patterns of participation in post-vocational education in socialist Czechoslovakia between 1948- 1989. As the educational system was subject to extensive reforms under socialism, this paper demonstrates their impact upon individual educational trajectories. The primary goal of the text is to show the effects of the communist 'affirmative action' in education. Previous analyses have shown that about one seventh of vocational school graduates continued their education later in life and maintained therefore the possibility of completing their secondary level education (i.e. achieving the so called maturita) and even attending university. This paper shows selection patterns for further education using discrete-time event history analysis.
