Influence of state social policy on fertility rates
Filikarová, Zuzana ; Šimková, Martina (advisor) ; Fučíková, Simona (referee)
The aim of my bachelor's thesis is to provide an overview of a birth rate development in the European countries - in the Czech Republic, France and Sweden in a period of 20 years (1990 - 2010). The work includes individual characteristics of the state social policy of the population, history of the birth rates and a demographic projection for a future. The thesis is an attempt to outline the potential improvement of social policy with a focus on a family policy, so that the population drop of the Czech republic's citizens might be avoided in the future. Furthermore, the development of countries family policies where the birth rate is on a desired level and from which the Czech Republic could draw the inspiration is described. The conclusion of the thesis contains several suggestions how the family policy could develop in the future.
Has Marriage and Birth Rates an Increasing Trend During the Economic Crisis?
Feurich, Marek ; Chytilová, Helena (advisor) ; Slaný, Martin (referee)
The economic crisis affects human decision-making through income and substitution effect. The aim of this work is to prove the assumption that the substitution effect operates in the Czech Republic with a higher intensity than the income effect. In other words that economic crisis has positive impact on marriage and birth rates. To test for the relationship among variables, regression analysis is performed on quarterly time series between the years 1993-2012. Two separate models for marriage and natality are assembled. Although the development of the minimum wage and the size of the gross domestic product shows positive effects on marriage and fertility rates, results demonstrate that negative effects of rising unemployment and declining interest rates operates with greater intensity. Against original assumptions is the overall impact of the economic crisis on the marriage and the birth rate proved to be negative in the observed period in Czech Republic.
