Jarošová, Natálie ; Kotrusová, Miriam (advisor) ; Kotíková, Jaromíra (referee)
In my thesis, I focused on the issue of employment policy in times of economic crisis in 2008 - 2010. I examined what recommendations and measures have been implemented in this area at EU level and in which documents they were involved. After analyzing the European steps I studied the situation in the Czech Republic, as an example of an EU Member State. I looked for, what measures have been taken to promote employment and eliminate unemployment. I also watched how the Czech measures were linked to European steps. When writing, I progressed according to analysis of the documents described in book about qualitative research methods written by Hendl. First, I defined the research questions, and then I defined what I consider as a document. When I have found a certain amount of documents I chose those that were relevant to my theme until I came to the default number of documents useful for my work. After analyzing the documents I have come to the fact that all actions of Member States are in line with priorities defined at EU level. Therefore, all measures to promote employment, which were realised in the Czech Republic and other Member States, followed the steps taken at EU level. In the solutions to employment problems arising due to the negative effects of the economic crisis was a major priority to take...

Knoblochová, Eva ; Kotrusová, Miriam (advisor) ; Kotíková, Jaromíra (referee)
The thesis "The institutional system struggling with underclared work in the Czech Republic " discusses institutional precautionary measures taken by the Czech republic in the matter of illegal employment. The key institution that has the responsibility to take measures against illegal work is the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the Czech Republic. The fight against illegal employment requires the introduction of a wide range of mechanisms and measures ranging from prevention to repression to discourage employees and employers from benefiting from this phenomenon. Illegal employment jeopardizes economy, weakens the labour market and reduces the number of jobs for citizens who apply for them at the unemployment offices. To combat illegal employment, there have to be precautions against illegal employees on the demand side as well as against employers on the supply side. One of the objectives of the fight against illegal employment is that the measures contribute to the fulfilment of legal obligations, which relates to statutory contributions to social insurance, health insurance and income tax. In order for the combat against illegal employment to be successful, it is imperative to have the support of the whole governing representation including organizational, financial and technical...

Integration of Ukrainian migrants in the Czech Republic
Burdukovskii, Nikita ; Dobiášová, Karolína (advisor) ; Kotrusová, Miriam (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on the integration of Ukrainian migrants in the Czech Republic. In connection with the increasing emigration potential of the Republic of Ukraine due to the ongoing civil war, the thesis will be an analysis of the Czech Republic's current integration policy towards foreigners from third countries with an emphasis on migrants from Ukraine. Significant changes in integration policies started after the accession of the Czech Republic to the EU, contextual documents and other public policy measures aimed at systematizing the integration of migrants from third countries. Thus, the aim will be to analyze publicly-relevant documents, which outline the essence and determinants of the Czech Republic's integration policy towards migrants from third countries. The Czech Republic responds sensitively to migratory trends, but more emphasis put on current immigration from Ukraine. Therefore, another goal will be to unveil the integration policy exclusively towards the Ukrainians in the Czech Republic. Finally, the ultimate goal is to understand on the basis of the interviews, what barriers the Ukrainians have in the Czech Republic for integrating into the host society. The life course theory helps to identify what trajectories they choose to integrate in their individual dimensions.
