Kolomazník, Tomáš ; Tuček, Milan (advisor) ; Numerato, Dino (referee)
Autor práce: Bc. Tomáš Kolomazník Název práce: Bariéry dalšího vzdělávání nezaměstnaných z hlediska věku ohrožených na trhu práce Abstract The thesis "Barriers to continuing education of the unemployed in the age groups endangered in the labor market" examines the barriers to continuing education in unemployed groups of age 15-25 and 50-64 in the Czech Republic, both of which are often referred to as disadvantaged in the labor market. These age groups are characterized by a low rate of participation in continuing education, while having very specific needs and problems. The aim of this work is to identify the most frequent barriers in the education of the above-mentioned groups, to find out the differences between them and to explore their sociodemographic predictors. For the statistical analysis, data from the Kooperace research conducted by the Fund of Further Education was used. The first chapter defines the concepts of adult education, disadvantaged groups in labor market and introduces different concepts of barriers to education. Furthermore, the most important surveys of adult education in the Czech Republic are presented. In the methodological chapter, seven barrier dimensions have been examined, such as lack of self- confidence, insufficient relevance of adult education supply, lack of time, low...

Stigma toward people with mental illness
Weissová, Aneta ; Tuček, Milan (advisor) ; Remr, Jiří (referee)
Stigmatization of people with mental illness has negative impact on quality of their life. There are few Czech studies focusing on stigma, but they rather focus only on one element of the problem. Aim of this thesis is to identify level of stigma in the Czech Republic and its socio- demographic predictors. This knowledge will help when choosing target groups for stigma reducing campaign. Thesis focuses on three elements of stigma - problems in knowledge, attitudes and behaviour. Four datasets are used - one from survey conducted within this theses, one from CVVM and two from INRES, which were conducted for NUDZ. Standardised research tools were used to measure knowledge (MAKS scale), attitudes (CAMI scale), behaviour (RIBS scale) and social distance. Predictors were identified using multivariate linear regression analysis. When comparing level of stigma among three elements, behaviour has the highest level and knowledge has the lowest level. Higher level of stigma in knowledge and attitudes is associated with being a male, lower education level and smaller size of residence. Higher level of stigma in behaviour is related to higher age, region and previous contact with person with mental illness. However these relations are rather weak and there are other nonsocio-demographic factors influencing...

Migrace v České a Slovenské republice
Klimo, Branislav ; Tepperová, Jana (advisor) ; Martínková, Lenka (referee)
The diploma thesis describes migration and migration policy development of the Czech and Slovak republic, as well as theoretical studies dealing with migration effects on the labour market and on public finance of the migrants' destination countries. The core of the diploma thesis is an analysis of the relationship between macroeconomic indicators of the analysed countries and their migration flows, analysed by the regression analysis. The regression analysis is followed by a specific quantification of a potential impact of migration flows increase on public finance of the analysed countries. The main contribution of this diploma thesis is that it points out the connection between fiscal policy, migration flows and public finance of analysed countries. The main data sources are the OECD (2014) and EUROSTAT (2014) database and the analysed period is the year 1998 to 2012. I have come to the conclusion that there is a linear relationship between the increase of the selected macroeconomic indicators and migration flows of the analysed countries in case of the Czech and Slovak republic. This increase has negative or positive impact on their public finance, depending on type of increased macroeconomic indicator.

Economic analysis of labour market disrimination
Brčák, Ondřej ; Brožová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Chytilová, Helena (referee)
The aim of this academic paper is to analyse the possible presence of discrimination against women in the job market. The analysis attempts to endogenous the discrimation section within the model. That is the essential difference in regard to other papers on this topic as these ascribe the influence of discrimination to the unexplained gender wage gap. The basic thought of this model is the idea, that if dicrimination against women is present in the job market, then it must exhibit the signs of a normal good. An examined characterisitc is the correlation of the wage gap, taken as a good, and extra variables as pensions. Investigation of possible correlation is done according to the linear regression analysis. The regression results are not satisfactory over long time periods as there are many variables that affect the outcome that the model does not consider. More precise results were achieved by means of testing individual workplaces, where especially the regression conducted with available data from analytic management occupations suggests that discrimination against women may be present
