The individual action plan utilization at employment offices as a tool for improvemet of the quality of work with the unemployed.
BAKOVÁ, Petra
The questions concerning the use of individual action plans at labour offices represent a highly charged issue, mainly in connection with the current system requiring that applicants for jobs who have been registered at a labour office for more than 5 months be compulsorily included in the action plan. Therefore, I set out to deal in detail with two domains in this Bachelor?s degree dissertation. The key aim of this work is firstly to map the job mediation consultants' opinions of whether the individual action plan increases the chances on the job market and secondly to find out whether the individual action plan makes the consultants? and job applicants? cooperation easier. The theoretical part of this contains theoretical definitions of this issue including related topics. The information necessary for this work was amassed by a qualitative research through directed interviews with the staff of the Czech Republic?s Labour Office at České Budějovice, Český Krumlov and Kaplice contact points. I interviewed six job mediation consultants and one job consulting department manager. The interviews took place from June to August 2011. The results of the research show that the job mediation consultants to a large extent agree that the individual action plan does not increase the applicant?s chances on the labour market and does not benefit the applicant. Most of the people interviewed regard this consulting tool as a mere administrative formality and claim that it does not provide clients with activities not available without any IAP in place. The results of the work also show that it does not make the job consultants' cooperation with the clients significantly easier and can only, as the consultants hold, be used as a constraint forcing the client to join in the project and as a means to perform the active steps listed in this document.

Evaluation of community service from the viewpoint of employers
BLAŽKOVÁ, Veronika
Unemployment, particularly if long-term, represents a serious economic and social problem, which brings along negative effects on the unemployed individual, his/her family and the society as a whole. This unfavorable situation may be addressed by a pro-active employment policy through its tools. One of the tools is the community service. I have selected Evaluation of community service from the viewpoint of employers as the subject of my thesis as it is very topical and it has not been explored by student works at our faculty. The objective of the thesis was to map opinions of employers about community service as one of the tools of the pro-active employment policy. Another objective of the thesis was to compare different levels of unemployment in the regions of České Budějovice and Havlíčkův Brod. In the theoretical part I focused on the national employment policy and on the community service in detail. Further, I covered the significance of work for the individual, unemployment and its economic and social consequences. In order to achieve the outlined objective and to confirm the set hypotheses I used a quantitative research, specifically a questionnaire survey among selected employers in the regions of České Budějovice and Havlíčkův Brod. As a complementary method I performed a secondary analysis of the data. The hypothesis ``Community service may help to find prospective employment for problem categories of job applicants `` has been confirmed; the hypothesis ``Community service is used more in regions with a poor situation on the labor market `` has not been confirmed. The thesis proposes potential solutions of problems and shortcomings, based on the evaluation of community service from the viewpoint of employers. The conclusions of the thesis may also serve as a feedback for Employment Offices as the administrative authorities that conclude agreements with employers about creation of jobs in community services and provide financial contributions to the employers for such jobs within the pro-active employment policy.

The assessment of the benefits of activation services of educational programmes for people entering the labour market
HOUDKOVÁ, Pavlína
This paper deals with the aspects of working with the unemployed, their views and impacts of services that are offered to jobseekers. The theoretical part deals with the explanations and definitions of the basic concepts of unemployment and employment policy. It deals with health and social consequences of unemployment and the situation of the unemployed. The objective was to determine whether the activation of clients through additional services is beneficial and causes positive changes in the views of the unemployed. Furthermore, to map what other additional activation services are important to jobseekers and which of these services are made available to them through employment offices. To achieve the objectives I used the combination of a quantitative and qualitative research, called the mixed-type research. In the research part, I worked with a total of three groups of respondents. It was a group of jobseekers in the questioning to map services for the unemployed. I used a research group and a control group to find out about the benefits of additional activating services. The research group consisted of participants in training courses with additional activation services. The control group consisted of jobseekers who had participated in retraining courses without activation services. The questioning took place at the beginning of the course and at its end. The responses to the questions were compared within each group and also between them. Through testing defined null hypotheses and by comparing the values I found that the motivation of the trainees with additional activation services to seek a job is greater than in the control group. Additional activation services are therefore beneficial. The questioning to map services for the unemployed showed a lack of supply offered by employment offices to the unemployed. Jobseekers declared an interest in these services. Based on the factors identified, it would be beneficial in the future to extend the standard training courses by adding motivational and self-development activities. Employment offices should promote their services with an emphasis on individual groups of jobseekers. To offer, on a regular basis, activities aimed at the acquisition of practical skills necessary for successful job search.

The assumptions of commercial services development in a chosen area regionalni svazek obci Vltava
CHROMÁ, Martina
The aim of this dissertation is to describe Regionální svazek obcí Vltava. With the close look at public services we are to make an analysis of the current situation and furthermore to outline the possible development in the above mentioned area of services. The Regionální svazek obcí Vltava (further only RSO Vltava) consists of 18 member townships. An important position among them is taken by the town of Cesky Krumlov. It is not only because of its size, but also because it is written on the World Cultural and Natural Heritage List {--} UNESCO. The level of unemployment at some places in the region is much higher than an average in the Region of the South Bohemia At some places in the area of RSO Vltava it depends on the distance from the towns of Cesky Krumlov or Ceske Budejovice and mainly on the accessibility of the area by the means of public transport. The location of the region for the tourism development is to its advantage. The majority of visitors come from the neighbouring countries which are Germany and Austria. The offer of the public services in the RSO Vltava is regarding to its utilization quite sufficient, although there is always a growing demand particularly for good quality accommodation. The most significant establishments in the RSO Vltava area are the private accommodation and guesthouses. However, restaurants and the businesses offering accommodation and refreshments are finding it difficult to maintain a steady income all year around when at the time of off-season their capacity is not fully used. The problem of the area is it is only attractive to the tourist in the summer season. The heads of the local communities are trying to encourage the tourists to visit their area even at the times of the winter season, which is classified as low or off-season. The main area of interest at the moment is to eliminate the seasonal demand which can be achieved by a better offer of sports and cultural event. They could be organized at any other time not only in the main season. There is also a great potential, which is seen by the local communities. It is the development of services and the tourist trade in the countryside, cyclotourism or hippoturism, the character of which is especially suitable for the families with children and even the older generation.

Long-term unemployment of single-parent mothers
WANKA, Pavel
This degree paper deals with the long-term unemployment of one of the most risk groups in the labour market {--} the single-parent mothers. It is a very current topic. Recently, the share of babies born to single-parent mothers has had a growing tendency and the divorce rate has been increasing. More often it is a woman rather than a man who heads the incomplete family. Lonely mothers have to face a difficult task. They have to cope with everyday care of their child on one side and to fulfil the duties of a family provider on the other side. For employers, a single-parent mother with a dependent child is problematic labour force with specific demands on working hours and higher probability of more frequent absences due to caring for a sick family member. These women are therefore willing to take ``worse{\crqq} job which does not correspond to their qualification and education. A lonely mother{\crq}s family is dependent on the income of one of the parents only. Although the father of the dependant has a duty to maintain and support his child as stipulated in the Family Act, he does no fulfil it quite often. Unemployment, especially lasting on a long-term basis, represents a significant social problem for a single-parent family. The standard of living is reduced, and the family has to face the threat of poverty, which is more significant as it regards the children as well. Long-term unemployed single-parent mothers are frequent beneficiaries of social benefits which allow them to survive on a subsistence level. Lonely mothers in this situation chose various strategies to secure alternative income, or take various money-saving measures. They often seek and find help in informal social networks which seem to be very important in such situations. Consequences of long-term unemployment can be a cause of social exclusion. Theoretical part of this degree paper maps the life situation of single-parent mothers with regard to their specific chances of assertion on the labour market. It further deals with the offers of child day care services and the system of support from the state. It also informs of the employment policy measures and flexible forms of employment as a means to harmonize the areas of the work and the family. The degree paper also contains information on the pro-family measures being prepared and approved by the government in November 2008. The research part of the degree paper is focused on identification of the attitudes and strategies of long-term unemployed mothers.
