Singh, Banishwar ; Asavei, Maria Alina (advisor) ; Douarin, Elodie (referee) ; Benáček, Vladimír (referee)
Economic theory provides numerous reasons why globalization might increase or decrease female wages and gender wage gap. Main objective of this study was to study the impact of globalization on gender wage gap in Czech Republic and to understand how different explanatory variables affecting female wages have changed over time. To undertake the research, I considered two different years. First year, 1996, manifested the beginning of globalization in Czech Republic. Second year, 2017, manifested the current peak of globalization. Study utilized two micro datasets, Microcensus 1996, EU-SILC 2017 and sector level macro data. Decomposition of raw gender wage gap was undertaken with Oaxaca Blinder decomposition technique. Results reported that in both the years, female workers had better human capital characteristics and better returns to these characteristics. Therefore, contribution of endowment effect to gender wage gap was negative. Further, foreign direct investment inflows had a positive impact on female wages, but overall, male workers gained more from globalization in both the years. Lastly, female workers were concentrated in those sectors, which received lowest FDI inflows in both the years. This hints towards presence of occupation segregation in Czech economy, which has kept gender wage gap...

Are married women in the Czech Republic discriminated against single women?
Radicsová, Alena ; Stroukal, Dominik (advisor) ; Brožová, Dagmar (referee)
This paper examines wage discrimination against women in the labor market and the impact of marriage on their earnings. Married women are looking for work which is less time consuming and physically demanding and it is possible to combine childcare and household, leading to lower earnings. The paper used cross-sectional data for the Czech Republic from the web survey WageIndicator for 2011 and 2012. Using the ordinary least squares method is found marriage penalty in the amount of 8 - 10 %. Results of my study suggest that place of work or foreign ownership of companies, where the woman works, significantly influences the level of wages.

The discrimination- How to measure it?
Gembiczká, Adriana ; Brožová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Rod, Aleš (referee)
Work describes methods of measuring discrimination in the labour market. All examples are apply to the problem of the gender discrimination. I describe the neoclassical model of discrimination and the statistical discrimination and the work explains how this models try to express the rate of discrimination. In the main part of work I consider Oaxaca model- this model is nowadays in innovated form uses for measuring discrimination most frequently. The work describes the derivation of the model and its key stones. Further I mention methods which try to extend and specify the original model of seventies of twentieth century. In the last part of work I illustrate the procedure of application of the original Oaxaca model and then I interpret its results.
