Socio-political analysis of the causes of indebtedness of citizens
Bartesová, Gabriela ; Tomeš, Igor (advisor) ; Víšek, Petr (referee)
The thesis "Analysis of the Causes of Over-Indebtedness" consists of a detailed analysis of issues leading up to over-indebtedness. It also aims to point out the most serious consequences of over-indebtedness. The thesis brings attention to the relation between causes and effects which, in many cases, take the form of the opposite and vice versa. The boundary between cause and effect can often be indistinct, and it is essential to distinguish between the two in order to find a solution for an over-indebted client. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the issue of a loss of income which may lead to over-indebtedness, draws attention to the important role of education in the area of financial literacy, and notes on the most serious consequences of over-indebtedness, which it sees in the loss of housing, homelessness, and other negative effects. The research part concentrates on a social group which belongs to one of the most threatened with social exclusion, welfare applicants. The research attempts to analyse their debt situation in relation to their age, education, housing, unemployment period, willingness to change their situation, and willingness to repay their debt.

In the European context this locality is also specific by high rates of marginalized Roma population that lives in an unsatisfactory conditions and has a problematic access to education and work. The fact that in the region there are less job opportunities compared to western Slovakia and therefore chances of finding an adequate job are also limited for the rest of the population worsens the situation.
