Zaschkeová, Soňa ; Kotrusová, Miriam (advisor) ; Kotíková, Jaromíra (referee)
Long-term unemployment brings negative consequences for the state and individuals. Besides the financial impacts on the state (lower incomes, expenditures for social transfers), for the long-term unemployed people from the social and psychological perspective this is a reduction in living standards, loss of social status, skills and abilities decline, decrease of social contacts, etc. Unemployed persons have not got income from their own economic aktivity, and that is why they are provided with social benefits in material need in the frame of the system of social protection.Their long-term receiving, however, often leads to the trap of poverty and welfare dependency. Employment agencies strive for return of these people back to the labour market through thein instruments of active employment policy. This thesis is focused on public service, which was introduced to the system of poverty relief in 2009 as the motivation and penalty measures to increase the activity of long-term unemployed. The theoretical starting points of this study are findings on poverty, social exclusion, living wage.

Income poverty in the Czech Republic and social transfer system effectiveness in its elimination in years 2005-2013
Kubelková, Karina ; Kotýnková, Magdalena (advisor) ; Krebs, Vojtěch (referee) ; Průša, Ladislav (referee) ; Kalmus, Jaromír (referee)
The dissertation deals with the issue of poverty in the Czech Republic, especially with its economic, political and historical context of development, theory and practice of its measurement and possible international comparability, both in scale and in terms of the effectiveness of social transfers system. The effectiveness is understood as reducing the extent of poverty represented by the at-risk-of-poverty rate used e.g. in Europe 2020 Strategy. The aim of the dissertation is to analyze the problem of income poverty and its development in the Czech Republic with a special focus on the effectiveness of the social transfers system in relation to reducing the extent of income poverty. The effectiveness is analyzed separately in case of social transfers as a whole, and in case of social transfers excluding old-age and survivors' pensions. The emphasis has been placed on international comparisons and on the poorest layers of the population represented by the study of the lower poverty lines than the standard one. Based on empirical analysis of survey data from the EU-SILC, it was disproved that the effectiveness of the Czech social transfers system was above average compared to the countries of the same welfare state model, the CEE region and the EU during the years 2005-2013. The Czech pension system plays a crucial role in the level of effectiveness of the social transfers system. The good position of the Czech Republic among the all three studied groups of countries in terms of effectiveness is maintained mainly thanks to its pension system.The current low level of poverty rate was achieved mainly thanks to the pre-crisis measures, respectively due to the specific timing of these measures package. The contribution of this dissertation consists in complex and systematized view of the income poverty in the Czech Republic, accompanied by the analysis of the effectiveness of the social transfer system. This analysis, owing to the time series (2005-2013), applied methods (methods of the European Commission vs. IZA method) and scope of the international comparison (welfare state model, CEE region and EU), has no similarity in the Czech scientific literature so far.

Benefits in living emergency are assignated for clients, who´s income does not reach living wage, or they have not any. Institute of breadline is a provision, that is aimed for the clients that are exploiting in the long term duration the social benefits and their working ability is on very low level. The aim of the Institute is, so that the long term clients of Authority of social help in a living emergency, get again their working ability. In theoretic part of my bachelor´s work I deal with powerty problem and solving possibility of this world-wide problem. And also in theoretic part I deal with the Law No 110/2006 Collection of Laws: About living wage and breadline, and with the Law No 111/2006 Collection of Laws: About help in a living emergency and with the method of dealing with clients of Authority of help in the situation living emergency. In my research, based on the method of making inquiry as well as making analyse of dokuments, I found out what are the activating aspects in the hands of Breadline Institute in the relation to the living emergency benefit´s recipients. Research inquiry file has been arranged from the recipients the benefits of living emergency in the Social welfare, those have been registered by Department of Municipal Authorities in České Budějovice. So that social welfare has not be reduced, there is the term of working in the sphere of public service. There has been found out, on the base of executed research, that 59 % of clients are willing to work in the public service. This fact proves the hypothesis H 1 - Breadline Institute has activating effect for the clients who are long term recipients of the living emergency welfares. Further I have found out, on the base of inquiry method, how are ready the Municipal Offices (Acredited Municipal Offices, as well as Municipal Offices with extended operation) to establish Public service, it means in the year 2010. In case of research´ file: Municipal Offices, that are Municipal Offices with extended operation and Acredited Municipal Offices at the territory of South Bohemia Region, there was found out that Municipal Offices with extended operation are more ready to establish Public service than Acredited Municipal Offices - nearly of 30 %. I suppose, on the base of executed research, that the hypothesis H 2 has been proved - Municipal Offices are ready to provide Public service for recipients of living emergency welfare.
