I have aimed on research at national level and also specific regions between years 1993-2014. In order to find these relationships I used method that compares differences in development of the fertility rate. After that, I set up regression model solved by method called fixed effects. For specific regions analysis was used OLS method. Model was able to explain more than 80 % of variability. This results can be used for predicting of citizens behavior, when some changes in family allowances occurs. Main finding is, that most motivating tools are parenting allowances and child benefits.

Czech-Chinese partnership and marriage
ZHAO, Ting
The objective of this thesis is to describe the way Czech-Chinese partner-ships/marriages are perceived and experienced by the partners involved. The thesis has two parts. The theoretical part forms the basis for the subsequent empirical research. It clarifies the terminology, the motivation of meeting one?s partner, the importance of mixed marriages and the life of the Chinese minority in Bohemia. The practical part describes the research. Qualitative research through the method of interviewing was used. The interviews with eight questions yielded information from nine respondents - Czechs and the Chinese who are partners involved in this type of relationship. Their views and experience are analyzed by the method of clumps. The research results yielded insights into the relationship and coexistence of Czech-Chinese partnerships. The research showed that most partners in Czech-Chinese marria-ges had been learning about each other for some time before entering into the relation-ships. The research yielded thirteen kinds of motivation to get acquainted. Some of them are characteristic only for marriages between foreigners. Most respondents, however, met their partners by random coincidence. The answers of the respondents indicated twenty-one specific problems in their relationships. These problems are of social or cultural nature or ones commonly occurring between partners. Partners? par-ent? attitudes vary. The reasons for rejection are concerns about the happiness of their children or prejudices against foreigners. In public, the couples usually feel good. Only occasionally they are confronted with negative responses. The partners communicate using Czech, Chinese and English. According to the respondents, this type of coexisten-ce in most cases has not changed the usual lifestyle. The only exception is food. The other areas of co-existence are individual and standard. The opinions of the respondents on this type of marriage are not uniform. Some think that the boundaries of cultural dif-ference cannot be overcome. Others look positively that cultures complement each other. When people can take advantage of these differences, they enrich their lives. The research results expand the knowledge of ethnically mixed marriages and they can serve as a basis for further research.

The phenomenon of refugees in the Syrian civil war
Durdisová, Marcela ; Lisa, Aleš (advisor) ; Prorok, Vladimír (referee)
This thesis deals with the current issue of refugees on the background of the Syrian civil war and its consequences for stability in the region. With regard to the fact that the crisis in Syria is felt throughout the entire Middle East region, the aim of this work is to map the impact of the conflict on neighboring countries of Syria. Based on the hypothesis, the effects of civil war and refugee phenomenon destabilize the whole region; therefore, my research question concerns political and social implications of the Syrian crisis in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. The work also reveals the vulnerability of these countries, which find themselves in a dangerous situation resulting from the Syrian events. In terms of methodology, this work uses a variety of methods. My research relies especially on the methods of research, description, comparison, analysis and synthesis, historical method and interview method as well. Based on these methods, I will answer the research question through a wide range of impacts, covering security, political, social, ethnic, and economic issues of the analyzed countries.

The Value of CSR for Czech Consumers
Faradji, Elise ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Seror, Patricia (referee)
Nowadays consumers purchasing behavior is influenced by new factors such as the social and environmental implication of companies. This is why Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a growing trend which companies need to look after carefully. However implementing an efficient CSR strategy is a complex process for corporations; especially since the core concept of CSR remain quite blurry. The goal of this study is to analyze the perception of consumers towards CSR to find out about the value creation that CSR produce for consumers and its impact on their purchasing behavior. This paper will ultimately help companies to implement their CSR strategy more efficiently. This study aims to contribute by conducting an in-depth analysis of consumers attitudes and behavior towards CSR. If most of researchers are using a quantitative approach this study means to deal with the issue with a qualitative perspective. Indeed twelve semi-structured interviews will support the findings. On top of those practical and physical interviews some theoretical knowledge will be added to the construction of the argument especially to bring a framework that shows the importance of all types of value creation (functional emotional and social). The findings of the thesis emphasize the facts already proven by other researchers; value creation is fundamental to make consumers care about CSR. However the study will show how much skepticism towards CSR can impact negatively consumers purchasing behavior. The research will help companies implementing more successful CSR strategy and develop new solutions to reach customers and influence their purchasing behavior through the creation of value for them.

Differences and similarities on the approaches of buyers from X and Y generations regarding sustainable procurement
Lacour, Maxime ; Štěrbová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Geniaux, Isabelle (referee)
Responsible procurement has become a real challenge for companies following the current trends of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and more and more ethic-oriented customers. Differing from the concept of green procurement this concept of responsible procurement supports the willingness of companies to have ethic and sustainable supplies. The usual criteria in procurement such as price performances innovation terms and time of payment have increasingly been coupled with more ethic-oriented ones. These criteria related to ethics combine both social and environmental responsibilities of suppliers and stakeholders such as energetic savings and the possession of a particular certification. Currently many call for tenders set ecological requirements for suppliers or subcontractors even in non-strategic procurement activities. The goal of this thesis is about comparing this approach to responsible procurement between buyers from the X and Y generation: do they share the same ideas and priorities concerning responsible procurement? For both of these generations are the advantages and drawbacks of responsible procurement similar?
