Age Discrimination in Labour Law
Plačková, Tereza ; Tomšej, Jakub (advisor) ; Koldinská, Kristina (referee)
Age Discrimination in Labour Law Abstract The topic of this thesis is discrimination on the grounds of age in labour law. Age as grounds for discrimination is very specific, because belonging to a certain age group changes as a person ages. Making some distinction on the basis of age is also still seen as acceptable in society. Stereotypes and negative bias connected to certain age groups are still prevalent and the work environment is one of the places where these negative attitudes can manifest themselves in the form of discriminatory action. The main aim of this thesis is to provide an overview of the current legal framework which deals with the prohibition of age discrimination in labour law on the international, European and national level and afterwords to systematically analyze the relevant case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Lastly the thesis also touches on the case law of the Czech national courts. The thesis is devided into an introduction, four main parts and a conclusion. The first part deals with defining the terms relevant to this thesis. Those are in particular terms such as equality and equal treatment, direct and indirect discrimination, positive discrimination, multiple discrimination and age discrimination. The second part is dedicated to the legal instruments dealing...

Equality: age and gender (Czechia, Denmark, France, Poland)
Černá, Tereza ; Rychtaříková, Jitka (advisor) ; Kalibová, Květa (referee)
Equality: Age and gender Abstract Diploma thesis addresses age and gender inequalities in Czechia, Denmark, France and Poland, based on Special Eurobarometer 437 and Special Eurobarometer 465. It introduces basic terms connected with inequality in society as well as terms related to gender and age discrimination. The analytical part is focused on different perceptions of age and gender inequality by respondents from four selected countries. The questions are also analysed on base on the respondent's gender and their age group, either 25-34, or 55-64 years. The conclusion of the conducted survey data analysis is, that society in Czechia and Poland inclines towards gender-based prejudices and stereotypes more, than society in Denmark and France, which may be a consequence of stronger emphasis on gender equality in Western European countries. Age discrimination is more often noticed by Czech and French respondents, but it is clear, that respondents from all four countries perceive ageism as very serious and do not see adopted anti- discrimination measures as sufficient. Key words: discrimination, inequality, stereotypes, ageing, ageism, age discrimination, gender discrimination, Czechia, Denmark, France, Poland

Ďulíková, Kateřina ; Barák, Vladimír (advisor) ; Vebrová, Ludmila (referee)
The topic of the bachelor's thesis is the actual situation of age discrimination of women in small and medium-sized enterprises in the Czech Republic in 2015. First part of the thesis deals with explanation of some important terms related to age discrimination in the labour-market. It also contains the legislative setting of this issue at domestic and international level. In the second part, the survey methodology is used for comparison of discrimination of women according to their age and the size of an enterprise. The data analysis based on this research shows that ageism constitutes a problem for all age groups and not only for elderly people as claimed by many theories. When comparing the intensity of ageism in small and medium-sized enterprises, we can say that this issue is present in both categories mentioned above and its intensity differs according to the age of the employee and also pursuant to situations when the employee is treated unfairly.
