Reconciliation of work and family life - reflection of the European law in the activities of the Czech government
Vošmik, Josef ; Tomeš, Igor (advisor) ; Koldinská, Kristina (referee)
The problem of reconciliation or work and family life has been of cardinal importance over the past few years not only in the Czech Republic but in most European countries. For most families it is becoming more and more difficult to reconcile the duties connected with the care of children and other dependent persons with the occupation. This situation is caused by many factors such as the growth of women employment, changes in family structure, demographic effects, development of human rights and many others. Social policy must take these aspects into account and carry out such acctivities that will enable families to face the challenges of the present society and won't make them decide either work of family. As a part of theory there are quite many particular methods and ways how to help families to cope with their employment and family duties. Some sources distinguish these strategies among individual and family, employers' strategies and strategies of the welfare state. But the European states differ as to how they view family and social policy as well. In the Czech republic there has been a traditionally high level of women employment rate but the birth of a child has a negative impact on a woman's staying or (re)entry into labour market. The possibilities of flexible work arrangements are highly...
The social state - historical and theoretical backgrounds
Paclt, Petr ; Koldinská, Kristina (advisor) ; Zemanová, Jana (referee)
55 English resumé : Social welfare state - historical and theoretical origins The name of this work in English is a bit misleading because Czech language has no perfect and widely acceptable equivalent for the English term "welfare state". The work is focused mainly on legal aspects of a social welfare state and its historical and theoretical origins in tle area of the nowadays Czech republic. In tle first part I attempted to chart the works of great Czech social thinkers, representatives of so called Czech social school. Works by Albín Gráf, T.G. Masaryk And especially Karel Engliš established the basics of social doctrine of so called first republic. Works of these thinkers were followed by other representatives of czech social school Lev Winter, Emil Schönbaum, Alois Rašín and others, who were the implementers of this doctrine. Czech social school created for that time very modern social legislation, which brought the new state esteem and respect of the whole world. It was especially about the act number 221/1924 about the insurance of employees in case of illness, invalidity and old age. This act meant fundamental historical turn. It was for the first time in Europe, when social insurance was so expressively integrated in one rule. Very remarkable fact is, that the whole social infrastructure of the...
Social services and the role of non-governmental organizations in social security
Váňa, Marek ; Koldinská, Kristina (advisor) ; Hůrka, Petr (referee)
Social services are an important part of the system of social assistance. The object of social services is to help citizens in unfavourable social situations regarding their health, age, handicap or other serious grounds, if they can not solve their situation themselves. The services aim to maintain the highest possible quality and dignity for their clients. Social services provide meals, accommodation, assistance with bridging unfavourable social situations, care for people with a limited ability in the area of personal and home care, assistance with bringing up a children and also social counselling. The providing of social services was regulated by the social services act number 108/2006 Sb. This act shows actual trends that are similar in the whole Europe and brings a new approach to social services. Organization and control over this area of work belongs to the ministry of labour and social affairs in cooperation with regions and municipalities. This thesis focuses on the position of providers of social services after the adoption of the above social services act. The social services can be provided by for example organizations created by regional or local authorities, organisations such as citizen association, churches and citizens. The social services act put emphasis on the quality of social...
Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of gender in employment
Machačová, Kateřina ; Koldinská, Kristina (advisor) ; Štefko, Martin (referee)
- 111 - PROHIBITION OF DISCRIMINATION BASED ON SEX IN LABOUR-LAW RELATIONS This diploma paper deals with the prohibition of discrimination based on sex in labour-law relations. Its main objective was to present a comprehensive construction of legal regulation of equal treatment and equal opportunities for men and women both in the legal order of the Czech Republic and in the law of the European Community ("EC") and in public international conventions. The thesis opens with the explanation of general framework of the subject, it especially analyses the notion of equality and various approaches to this concept. Further on, the paper focuses on the demonstrations of unequal chances of men and women on the employment market, as well as on the historical aspects of women's status in society. Quite an extensive part of the presentation is dedicated to the definition of the fundamental concept of discrimination, its particular forms (above all the conception of direct vs. indirect discrimination) and exceptions to the principle of equal treatment. The explication is primarily based on definitions contained in the European directives (to the implementation of which the Czech Republic as a Member State of the EC is obliged), as well as on the relevant judicial decisions of the European Court of Justice ("ECJ"). The...
Social services and the role of non-governmental organisation in social security
Havlínová, Monika ; Koldinská, Kristina (advisor) ; Procházková, Eva (referee)
In my essay I focused especially on the new Act on Social Services, which came into force on January 1, 2007 and replaced a regulation coming even from the time of communism. For a long time the previous regulation wasn't corresponding to the development of contemporary society, its needs and trends in social services, which were brought along with the revolutionary year 1989. A new law was called after by professional public, and also by the very beneficiaries of social services. The new law has been awaited for a very long time, probably longer than it had originally been expected. For a long period a way which the new regulation should take, couldn't be found; adoption process was also complicated due to the political situation. Many discussions took place about a new law. Themes that can be included in the area of social services are now more up-to-date than ever before. It is a topic that touches many of us, sometimes even more than we would like. For this reason I chose this issue for my thesis. At the beginning of my essay I am dealing with historical development of social services. Namely, from the first references to them in the antiquity, through their concept in the Middle Ages to the first efforts for comprehensive legal regulation. Only in the context of and with the knowledge of historical...
