The Criteria for Granting of Care of Elderly People.
JANOŠŤÁKOVÁ, Iveta
Modern conception of social care is adjusted by Act No. 108/2006 Col., on social services. It includes a description of conditions of providing assistance and support to individuals in adverse social situation through social services, particularly by a new benefit ? care benefit. This is used by people who are limited by their health condition in normal life. The new conception philosophy is based on the fact that people using the care benefit, dependent on assistance of other individuals are completely free to decide who and how will provide them with the assistance. Its subsequent use has to lead people to activity, support of development of their independence and motivation, to prevent worsening of their adverse social situation. The purpose of the care benefit is to keep the ill person alive as long as possible and to live with dignity in his/her natural environment. The care is provided either by close persons (family) or by social service providers from government or non-government organizations. The aim of the thesis was to map the criteria in the field of the method of dependence assessment for granting care benefit to seniors over 65 years of age in České Budějovice district, who were assessed in 2012 in so-called transitive period according to both the regulations. The theoretical part defines the terms senior, aging process and informs on social factors leading to human life extension. It describes development of social work in the Czech Republic and establishment of the Social Service Act effective from 1 January 2007, the main idea of which was modification of the role of the state as the social care provider, and active involvement of a citizen as the benefit receiver. The next part of the thesis describes criteria of care benefit granting according to the original regulations valid from 1/1/2007. It is granted in four levels corresponding to different amounts with regards to age and number of acts (36 evaluated). Ability to cope with individual acts of care about oneself and self-sufficiency are evaluated in assessment of dependence degree for the care benefit purposes. The Social Service Act has been amended several times; a substantial change of the criteria for granting the benefit came on 1/1/2012, when Act No. 366/2011 Col., modifying certain provisions of the Social Service Act, became effective. In the new assessment of dependence degree the ability of a person to cope with 10 basic life needs is evaluated. Two hypotheses were tested in the practical part of the thesis upon the set goals: 1. Higher dependence degree is recognized in assessment of dependence degree in seniors according to the new criteria. 2. Lower number of evaluated acts in assessment of dependence degree corresponds with objectivization of health condition of the assessed person. The research was performed by means of quantitative method, namely data content analysis and the obtained data were statistically processed by categorical data analysis, Pearson?s correlation coefficient and contingency tables. Data from the statistics of the Czech Social Security Administration, its local workplaces and accessible materials of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the CR in 2007 and 2012 were used for the research. After analysis and evaluation of the necessary information we found that the first hypothesis was not confirmed; higher degree is not recognized in assessment of dependence degree in seniors. The second hypothesis was confirmed, the lower number of assessed acts correspond with objectivization of health condition. In the conclusion we observe that the new criteria for assessment of dependence degree for the purpose of granting the care benefit do not lead to recognition of higher dependence degree.

We have identified number of possible advices for the Czech Republic to improve its rating for both Heritage Foundation and Fraser Institute Economic Freedom Index, which often leads to top 10 countries in the world. These advices range from cuts in government spending, betterment in judicial system, to the establishing healthier environment for startups and advices to combat corruption. We further noticed some divergence between above mentioned indexes and managed to evaluate those indexes, which showed the simplicity yet usefulness of Heritage EFI and flexibility and sensitivity of the Fraser EFI. Weak sides of the research were noted and ideas for further research were given.

The effect of investment in tertiary education on gross wages in the region Prague
Diessner, Daniel ; Chytil, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Babin, Jan (referee)
The aim of this work is to determine whether and how higher education affects gross wages. The theoretical part focuses on the theory of human capital, especially investment in education. The theory posits that a higher investment in human capital leads to higher yield, higher wages. The validity of this concept will be tested on the group of respondents who entered the labour market at the turn of millennium. Concentration of candidates with tertiary education in this period has risen considerably, which could cause an imbalance in the labour market. The practical part is based on the work of Mincer (1974). I used Mincer Earnings Function as a basis to build regression model. Partial aim is to prove the declining rate of return on investment in tertiary education using Mincer Equation.

Berka, Kryštof ; Procházka, Pavel (advisor) ; Dyba, Karel (referee)
The aim of the bachelor's thesis is economic development assessment among and within BRICs countries in the context of developed world during 2007-2015. Based on yearly panel data, an analysis for following macroeconomic indicators was carried out: gross domestic product, inflation rate, unemployment rate, current account on the balance of payments, exchange rate. The profound analysis of selected indicators is instrumental in the comparison of member states and is supplemented by the comparison of BRICs and G6. Based on its evidence, I come to a conclusion that the BRICs as a whole succeeded in establishing as a strong global actor. That has been achieved with the help of global financial crisis, but also with regard to the economic policy implemented in 2007-2015. As a result, GDP of BRICs in terms of GDP of G6 achieved stable growth rate leading to its increase by 52 %. Besides providing main findings, outcomes of this thesis enable to identify main weaknesses and strengths of BRICs economies affecting the prospects for continuance of stable economic growth.

Fiscal rules in selected EU countries between 2004-2015: sensible method for consolidation of public finances or fad of politicians?
Veselý, Lukáš ; Strejček, Ivo (advisor) ; Chmelová, Pavla (referee)
The subject of fiscal rules is very topical issue. The rise of public debt in certain developed countries resulted in what is sometimes called "debt crisis". Debt of those countries which is higher than their annual gross domestic product is viewed as unpayable by some economists. The main objective of this thesis has been to prove or disprove hypothesis that the fiscal rules studied in this paper are an effective solution for public finance consolidation. This verification was based on the analysis of fiscal rules functioning in selected countries between 2004 and 2015. As per results of analysis the paper aims to give recommendations for the Czech financial constitution proposal. The actual results of inquiry proved the hypothesis. Well-chosen fiscal rules are the right way towards fiscal consolidation, provided they are observed. Fiscal rules making thus requires an emphasis to be placed on the well-formulated exit clauses altogether with prospective sanctions. The current Czech financial constitution proposal is built on the correctly picked fiscal rule type, although the reference value lacks economic sense and it would not lead, with a high degree of probability, towards fiscal consolidation.

Kalkusová, Marie ; De Castro, Tereza (advisor) ; Neumann, Pavel (referee)
This thesis aims to estimate the macroeconomic impact of maternity and parental/paternal leave in the Czech Republic and Brazil. In addition, the thesis stresses out the costs of Czech model application to Brazil and vice-versa. The first chapter brings a theoretical framework. It compares the analyzed policies in both countries and introduces the relevant terms. The second chapter estimates the costs of maternity and parental/paternal leave related to public expenditure and GDP for the years 2005-2014 and brings own simulation model for Czech model application to Brazil and vice-versa. The third chapter analyses the inefficiencies and suggest possible mitigation. The results show the costs of 0.71% of GDP and 1.66% of public expenditure in the Czech Republic and 0.50% GDP and 2.27% of public expenditure in Brazil in 2014. The Czech model applied in Brazil would be very costly and the opposite scenario would lead to the decrease of macroeconomic burden in the Czech Republic. The thesis also analyzes the influence of maternal and parental leave in other areas, such as labor market, where the current structure may penalize Czech women in long term. By this analysis, the thesis contributes to the current debate about the impact, the length and costs of maternity and parental leave.
