Addressing the Problem of the Accessibility and Financing of Institutional Social Care in Connection with the Anticipated Growth in the Post-Productive Population in the Czech Republic
NOVÁKOVÁ, Eva
According to projections from the Czech Statistical Office there will be a significant change in the structure of the population in the Czech Republic in coming years. It is estimated that the share of individuals over 65 years of age will increase by more than 50% by 2025 and by an additional 30% between 2025 and 2050. The aging of the population will be accompanied by a significant increase in the need for social services, especially for individuals over the age of 80, as these make up the majority of clients of in-house social care services. While the Czech Republic is one of the countries with the highest number of residential social care facilities, with respect to demographic development the number of these facilities is insufficient. The de-institutionalization of social care services is an emerging trend that involves efforts to provide maximum social care in the natural home environment of clients; the services provided are focussed on maintaining the standard way of life for clients through the provision of field and outpatient social care. The selected topic captured my interest for two reasons: its topicality and the lack of awareness among the general population, and the need for the expansion of social services due to the growing number of elderly. The aim of the work, with regard to anticipated demographic development, is to draw attention to the issue of accessibility and financing care for seniors who have lost self-sufficiency. I chose quantitative research utilizing the survey method and data analysis for the practical part of the work. The study group is composed of 310 respondents from the areas of Prague, České Budejovice and Trutnov. The data for analysis was taken from Czech Statistic Office data from 2007 for the Prague, South Bohemian and Hradec Králové regions. While the research did not support all of the established hypotheses, the designated goals of the work were fulfilled. This work can be used in professional literature and lectures, and could become the subject of a grant program that would serve to raise awareness among the general population and help spread this research to additional regions.

Public attitudes to the Institutional Care for senior citizens.
STANKOVÁ, Jana
The aim of this work is to find out if the public understands that institutional senior care is care related to a field-work. The method of quantitative search was used for this survey. The presumption that people aged up to 40 are less informed about the system of social care for seniors than people over 60 was not confirmed. Those respondents 60+ did not prove any major knowledge or foreknowledge about these services. The presumption that people 60+ prefer a field-work and health service to the institutional care was confirmed. Most of the respondents would solve the reduced self-sufficiency of seniors by supporting of home care. The research confirmed that the public has awareness of the reasons, which lead to the field-work preferences for seniors.
