The use of the European Social Fund in the Czech Republic
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Michaela
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to evaluate the benefits from the regional individual project From the Cradle to the Labor realized within the Human Resources and Employment Operational Programme for the district of Pribram. To understand the impact of this project it is essential to know certain information about the theoretical factors connected with the creation and implementation of the project. This includes the regional and structural policy of the EU, the European Social Fund and its use in the Czech Republic, the Human Resources and Employment Operational Programme and, last but not least, the preparation and management of the projects of Structural Funds, whose analysis and description was also the aim of the work. The first step was therefore to define these important factors. The next step was to analyze the project From the Cradle to the Labor. The Labour Office in Pribram, who was the executor of the project, is very successful in drawing subsidies from the ESF considering the projects focused on the solution of high long-term unemployment rates in specific districts. Reasons for high long-term unemployment rates in the district of Pribram are perceived primarily as something caused by labour shortages, the outflow of skilled workers to the Prague and also in the low educational structure and the lack of vacancies and opportunities. To evaluate the success of the project and its benefits for the area, it was necessary to examine the process and its implementation in the district. The results of this analysis show that the project whose aim was to help its participants find a permanent job and to increase their employability in this area was quite successful. From the target group, which consisted of applicants and applicants for employment on parental leave, the project helped to find a permanent job to 39 persons out of 72 participants. It also helped create several new jobs. These results and the benefits of the project are listed in the last section of the thesis. Based on the results of the analysis, there were evaluated not only the benefits and results of the project in the particular region, but also its positives and negatives, which could be valuable for the implementation of similar future projects.
