Effects of unemployment on family life
ŘÍHOVÁ, Terézia
This thesis deals with effects of unemployment of a family member on the family standard of living. The main objective of this study was to comprehensively describe life of a purposefully selected sample of the long-term unemployed and their families. One sub-objective was to describe the extent to which the long-term job loss of an individual affects the way of family life. Another sub-objective was to determine if the unemployed individual is given his/her family support, both economic and psychological. The lives of the unemployed and their families were described through case studies. This thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part of my thesis is devoted to the issue of unemployment, at-risk groups in the labor market, the impact of unemployment on individuals and possibilities to help the unemployed. Another part of the thesis deals with the family characteristics and the impact of unemployment on the family from all aspects of life. The practical part of the thesis involves the thesis objectives, the research methodology and practical outcomes. After the necessary data collection the research was conducted through an interrogation method by the technique of narrative interview. The research sample consisted of six respondents who are registered at the Office of Labour in České Budějovice. The respondents were long-term unemployed men and women over the age of 50 years and long-term unemployed men and women who are parents of children in the preschool and school age. As proved by the research, the long-term loss of a family member job brings about the decline in family income, which leads to a change in the lifestyle and the consequent reduction in living standards. Families of the unemployed, due to their situation, have to re-evaluate their scale of values and think of alternatives to lifestyle. This brings a change to their daily routine, they have to give up some of their hobbies and restrict social contacts. In most cases, however, the family solidarity helps in both mental and economic aspects. The research outcomes may be used as a basis for future researches in this field and further information on the problems of unemployment and its impact on the family can be obtained. This information could be helpful to Offices of Labour for individual work with the unemployed.

The impact of the world economic recession on unemployment of the graduates in South Bohemian Region
LINDMAJEROVÁ, Lucie
The performance of the world{\crq}s biggest economies is slowing down and young people are the most affected as shown by the rising numbers of unemployment, especially among the youths. The aim of this thesis is to identify and map the impact of the global financial crisis on the unemployment of graduates in the South Bohemian Region. My intention was to test the hypothesis of my previous thesis topic ``Life targets of the unemployed graduates in České Budějovice`` and the data obtained by thos investigation/research is to be put into context with reference to the current state of the labour market. In this thesis, I have used the form of quantitative research. As a method of data collection, I have chosen to use interviews and document analysis. The technique, in this case, is the secondary analysis of data from the questinaire. The questionnaire was developed in two forms: on paper (printed copies) and on the Internet (the electronic form) in order to increase data. The questionaire consisted of 22 questions which are well related to the total psycho-social and economic well being of the unemployed and, in as much following the current set hypotheses: {\clqq}The most prefered goals in the lives of the unemployed graduates is to find a well paying job``, most of the graduates still remain in a period of unemployment and hence they are still living with their parents`` and {\clqq}Most of the unemployed graduates tend to adopt an active approach in finding a job``. I contacted the respodents through the job centres in South Bohemia Region. The first hypothesis proved to be wrong whilest the second and third hypothesis proved to be correct and hence the aim of the thesis was fulfilled. This is a very practical topic in connection with unemployment and this work can serve as a basis for further research, especially with subsequent use in schools. This work may also be used as a supplement for specialised courses focusing on issues of unemployment.

The development of the enployment in the region of Klatovy with the usage of the operating program The development of the human sources
KOLÁRIK, Lukáš
Unemployment of people who are in disadvantage on the labour market is a nationwide problem. Such disadvantages concern low qualifications, women returning from maternity leave, elderly people, disabled people, national minorities, young people and people who have problems to become adapted to the ``normal life{\crqq} (homeless people or people who had drug problems in the past or were imprisoned). This long-term unemployment is one of the biggest problems Czech Republic has to face since 1989. Comparing to the other EU countries where the long-term unemployment is decreasing, Czech Republic belongs to countries with the highest unemployment. The situation is becoming even worse. This thesis concentrates on the issue of long-term unemployment. First it highlights basic theoretical background to this issue and mentions the function and principles of the regional and structural politics of the European Union. The second part of this thesis offers a possible solution for solving this problem. This is a creation of project design which concentrates on employment support by means of a new requalification program for long-term unemployed people. At the end this thesis also offers a possible project financing.

Public awareness about the problems of employment
NOVÁKOVÁ, Veronika
Employment {--} one of the most frequently discussed current topics. At a time when the economy of the whole world has been going through the period of economic depression, this subject is really topical. Employees are being dismissed due to the economy inhibition and the number of the unemployed has been growing. The Czech Republic has not escaped the impact of the depression either and the unemployment rate has risen to 9, 9%. To find a job is most difficult in our modern history. Eighteen unemployed come to one working position. The objective of the research part of my thesis was to find out whether the job seekers registered at the Job Centre in České Budějovice get sufficient information about all the services provided by this institution within the framework of the active labour policy, whether the job seekers are well aware of the instruments of this policy, who provided them with the information, whether they have already used any of these instruments and whether they find these instruments suitable and sufficient. 200 questionnaires were handed out to the respondents, 159 questionnaires returned. It means that the rate of return of the questionnaires was 79, 5 %. This research has revealed that 69% of the job seekers find the instruments of the active labour policy provided by the Job Centre sufficient. However, it is essential to take into account the following fact {--} the job seekers find these instruments sufficient in terms of their own knowledge. And it was only 24% of the respondents that knew more than a half of the existing instruments of the active labour policy. My thesis could be practically used as a whole especially for the clients of the Job Centre in the form of brochures or leaflets. It might be used even for students from secondary schools, vocational schools, colleges and universities as study material, since it provides practical knowledge of what to do in case they are unemployed once after they finished school. And last but not least, this work might be viewed as an important feedback for the staff of the Job Centre.

The individual action plan utilization at employment offices as a tool for improvemet of the quality of work with the unemployed.
BAKOVÁ, Petra
The questions concerning the use of individual action plans at labour offices represent a highly charged issue, mainly in connection with the current system requiring that applicants for jobs who have been registered at a labour office for more than 5 months be compulsorily included in the action plan. Therefore, I set out to deal in detail with two domains in this Bachelor?s degree dissertation. The key aim of this work is firstly to map the job mediation consultants' opinions of whether the individual action plan increases the chances on the job market and secondly to find out whether the individual action plan makes the consultants? and job applicants? cooperation easier. The theoretical part of this contains theoretical definitions of this issue including related topics. The information necessary for this work was amassed by a qualitative research through directed interviews with the staff of the Czech Republic?s Labour Office at České Budějovice, Český Krumlov and Kaplice contact points. I interviewed six job mediation consultants and one job consulting department manager. The interviews took place from June to August 2011. The results of the research show that the job mediation consultants to a large extent agree that the individual action plan does not increase the applicant?s chances on the labour market and does not benefit the applicant. Most of the people interviewed regard this consulting tool as a mere administrative formality and claim that it does not provide clients with activities not available without any IAP in place. The results of the work also show that it does not make the job consultants' cooperation with the clients significantly easier and can only, as the consultants hold, be used as a constraint forcing the client to join in the project and as a means to perform the active steps listed in this document.

Evaluation of community service from the viewpoint of employers
BLAŽKOVÁ, Veronika
Unemployment, particularly if long-term, represents a serious economic and social problem, which brings along negative effects on the unemployed individual, his/her family and the society as a whole. This unfavorable situation may be addressed by a pro-active employment policy through its tools. One of the tools is the community service. I have selected Evaluation of community service from the viewpoint of employers as the subject of my thesis as it is very topical and it has not been explored by student works at our faculty. The objective of the thesis was to map opinions of employers about community service as one of the tools of the pro-active employment policy. Another objective of the thesis was to compare different levels of unemployment in the regions of České Budějovice and Havlíčkův Brod. In the theoretical part I focused on the national employment policy and on the community service in detail. Further, I covered the significance of work for the individual, unemployment and its economic and social consequences. In order to achieve the outlined objective and to confirm the set hypotheses I used a quantitative research, specifically a questionnaire survey among selected employers in the regions of České Budějovice and Havlíčkův Brod. As a complementary method I performed a secondary analysis of the data. The hypothesis ``Community service may help to find prospective employment for problem categories of job applicants `` has been confirmed; the hypothesis ``Community service is used more in regions with a poor situation on the labor market `` has not been confirmed. The thesis proposes potential solutions of problems and shortcomings, based on the evaluation of community service from the viewpoint of employers. The conclusions of the thesis may also serve as a feedback for Employment Offices as the administrative authorities that conclude agreements with employers about creation of jobs in community services and provide financial contributions to the employers for such jobs within the pro-active employment policy.

The assessment of the benefits of activation services of educational programmes for people entering the labour market
HOUDKOVÁ, Pavlína
This paper deals with the aspects of working with the unemployed, their views and impacts of services that are offered to jobseekers. The theoretical part deals with the explanations and definitions of the basic concepts of unemployment and employment policy. It deals with health and social consequences of unemployment and the situation of the unemployed. The objective was to determine whether the activation of clients through additional services is beneficial and causes positive changes in the views of the unemployed. Furthermore, to map what other additional activation services are important to jobseekers and which of these services are made available to them through employment offices. To achieve the objectives I used the combination of a quantitative and qualitative research, called the mixed-type research. In the research part, I worked with a total of three groups of respondents. It was a group of jobseekers in the questioning to map services for the unemployed. I used a research group and a control group to find out about the benefits of additional activating services. The research group consisted of participants in training courses with additional activation services. The control group consisted of jobseekers who had participated in retraining courses without activation services. The questioning took place at the beginning of the course and at its end. The responses to the questions were compared within each group and also between them. Through testing defined null hypotheses and by comparing the values I found that the motivation of the trainees with additional activation services to seek a job is greater than in the control group. Additional activation services are therefore beneficial. The questioning to map services for the unemployed showed a lack of supply offered by employment offices to the unemployed. Jobseekers declared an interest in these services. Based on the factors identified, it would be beneficial in the future to extend the standard training courses by adding motivational and self-development activities. Employment offices should promote their services with an emphasis on individual groups of jobseekers. To offer, on a regular basis, activities aimed at the acquisition of practical skills necessary for successful job search.

The assumptions of commercial services development in a chosen area regionalni svazek obci Vltava
CHROMÁ, Martina
The aim of this dissertation is to describe Regionální svazek obcí Vltava. With the close look at public services we are to make an analysis of the current situation and furthermore to outline the possible development in the above mentioned area of services. The Regionální svazek obcí Vltava (further only RSO Vltava) consists of 18 member townships. An important position among them is taken by the town of Cesky Krumlov. It is not only because of its size, but also because it is written on the World Cultural and Natural Heritage List {--} UNESCO. The level of unemployment at some places in the region is much higher than an average in the Region of the South Bohemia At some places in the area of RSO Vltava it depends on the distance from the towns of Cesky Krumlov or Ceske Budejovice and mainly on the accessibility of the area by the means of public transport. The location of the region for the tourism development is to its advantage. The majority of visitors come from the neighbouring countries which are Germany and Austria. The offer of the public services in the RSO Vltava is regarding to its utilization quite sufficient, although there is always a growing demand particularly for good quality accommodation. The most significant establishments in the RSO Vltava area are the private accommodation and guesthouses. However, restaurants and the businesses offering accommodation and refreshments are finding it difficult to maintain a steady income all year around when at the time of off-season their capacity is not fully used. The problem of the area is it is only attractive to the tourist in the summer season. The heads of the local communities are trying to encourage the tourists to visit their area even at the times of the winter season, which is classified as low or off-season. The main area of interest at the moment is to eliminate the seasonal demand which can be achieved by a better offer of sports and cultural event. They could be organized at any other time not only in the main season. There is also a great potential, which is seen by the local communities. It is the development of services and the tourist trade in the countryside, cyclotourism or hippoturism, the character of which is especially suitable for the families with children and even the older generation.
