Public works as a tool for employability improvement of long term unemployed in the Czech Republic
Durczok, David ; Kotrusová, Miriam (advisor) ; Hiekischová, Michaela (referee)
The diploma thesis is focused on the issue of public works as a tool for employability improvement of selected job applicants in the Czech Republic. For research purposes the public works are community works and public service. The elementary theoretical basis have been formed by the concept of workfare, the concept of lifelong employability and implementation. In connection to the above- mentioned, the thesis deals with the system of public works in the Czech Republic, especially with its setup and its relation to long-term unemployment. In addition, the thesis also reflects the role of public works for further assertion of long-term unemployed in the labour market. Examples of best practice abroad (in the selected European country - Poland) have been given for the sake of comparison here. It has been found out that while community works are already standardly used tool of active employment policy, the current form of public service needs innovations. Moreover, after finishing public works, people activated by that way usually become unemployed again. Therefore, the role of public works for further assertion of long-term unemployed consists mainly of soft benefits (basic work habits, socialization, etc.).
