Dopad trestní minulosti na pracovní vyhlídky: Field experiment
Onuferová, Michaela ; Dušek, Libor (advisor) ; Peľak, Branislav (referee)
The thesis deals with the problematics of statistically discriminating the previously incarcerated during the process of getting a job. Since the imprisonment trend has been increasing in the Czech Republic since 1993, this topic is highly relevant. The effect of previous incarceration or the criminal record in general has been studied by many economist and with the use of many methods; however, to my knowledge, no similar experiment has been used in the Czech Republic in this context. The thesis was based on an experiment - responding to the actual job advertisements offering low-qualified positions with four pairs of fictitious résumés aiming at the data collection and proving the possible statistical discrimination of the previously incarcerated on the labor market. Using the chi-square test of independence, the discriminating approach was confirmed as statistically significant. The survey is complemented by a questionnaire aimed at the recruiters responsible for filling the low-qualified jobs and apart from the question of imprisonment of the job applicants, the wider concept of criminal record in general is also taken into account.

Analysis of the Position of Ex-prisoners on the Labour Market in Czech Republic
Třesohlavý, Pavel ; Ševčíková, Michaela (advisor) ; Brabec, Petr (referee)
The focus of this diploma thesis is to describe the position of ex-prisoners on the labour market and how their operations on that market influence the society. In this paper, I will be looking into the social and state budget costs that these people cause, and why we can consider them as another vulnerable group on the labour market. The factors that lower their chances to succeed are lower productivity, level of education, and also statistical discrimination by employers that leads to demanding expectations on possessing a clean record. I will also focus my attention to the solutions that are currently in place in the Czech Republic, as success on the labour market is an important element to lowering the relapse rate. In the Czech Republic, the relapse rate is between 60 to 65 percent, which is lot higher than in other countries that have been trying to solve this problem for a longer period of time. This thesis confirms the hypothesis that this problem in the Czech Republic is not being treated on the same level as in other countries, and therefore we could learn and apply other solutions from abroad. Half-way houses have proven to be an effective solution and it would be good to put them into practice in Czech Republic as well.
