Žilík, Lukáš ; Vokoun, Marek (advisor) ; Holasová, Vladimíra (referee)
This thesis studies the question of the efficiency of Active Employment Policy (AEP) in Prague -- East district. Spending on social policy increases there strongly; however as shows this thesis, the labour market situation hasn't been improving in some of the labour indicators since the year 2000. Analysis utilizes statistics of Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs together with the data provided by the district labour office Prague -- East. The AEP efficiency analysis is performed by a simple comparisons and ratings of particular instruments, expenses associated with them, and eventually using the regression model. Conclusions about AEP are based on the knowledge and context obtained from the socio-economic analysis that focused primarily on the labour market, which enable us to more accurate targeting tools for risk groups in the region Prague -- East district. The work also contributes to the discussion about social insurance alternatives currently provided by state, but the main aim is to provide recommendations for the regional employment office, which instrument and how much money spent is the most effective AEP tool in the fight against unemployment. The results confirm the relationship between expenditures on active employment policy and unemployment, and also confirmed the fact that the effects are diverse. These effects of AEP expenditures are affected by concept of time (lagged vs. current) and by particular AEP tool. As the most effective investment of resources (AEP tool) in the Prague -- East district labour office appears to be support for retraining, which positively affects the unemployment rate in normal and delayed period.
