The Social Aspect of the Success of People over 50 on the Labour Market in the district of Písek
FIALOVÁ, Nina
The bachelor thesis "Social aspects of employment of people over 50 years in the labour market in the district of Písek" deals with the position of people 50+ in the labour market and especially with their perception of themselves. The purpose of this thesis is to find out if these people feel more disadvantaged than people who have not reached the age of 50. At the same time, the quantitative research strategy identifies the differences between the two age categories. I examined the whole issue mainly on the basis of a questionnaire survey, as a complementary part, there a qualitative research strategy in the form of semi-structured interviews with employees of the Labour Office was chosen. The research showed that the majority of participants 50+ in the questionnaire survey consider the age, health limitations, lack of education and preference of younger jobseekerss as the biggest disadvantage in their age category. At the same time, research has shown that people over 50 are more skeptical and generally have greater distrust of themselves than younger jobseekers. Interviews with Labour Office employees confirmed that they also see more employers' interest in younger jobseekers and, at the same time, the diminishing self-confidence of people over 50 years of age, which declines with each passing day in the job seekers register. I am convinced that the research and whole thesis will more clearly describe the issue of employing people over the age of 50. The researched facts can be pivotal in solving problems related to unemployment at a later age and can also serve as new information for students of social studies. The bachelor thesis can also serve as one of the stimuli leading to reflection on the issue of aging of the Czech population, which is reflected in many social aspects and in the future it will be increasingly reflected not only on the labour market but also in other areas of our society.
