Volunteering for everybody
HESTIA, o.s. ; Dobrovolnické centrum, o.s ; Národní institut dětí a mládeže MŠMT ; Plán B, o.s.
V rámci Evropského roku dobrovolnictví 2011 probíhaly v jednotlivých evropských zemích národní „vlajkové“ projekty zaměřené na rozvoj dobrovolnictví. V České republice dostal tento vlajkový projekt název „Dobrovolnictví pro všechny“ a společně ho realizovaly čtyři partnerské organizace: HESTIA, o.s., Dobrovolnické centrum Ústí nad Labem, Národní institut dětí a mládeže a Plán B. — Hlavní myšlenkou tohoto projektu byl rozvoj komunitního přístupu k dobrovolnictví, postaveném na partnerství dobrovolníků s obcemi, státními institucemi, neziskovými organizacemi i komerčními fi rmami. Menší podprojekty, které byly vybrány a podpořeny, mohou být dobrou inspirací a ukázkou toho, co vše může dobrovolnictví zahrnovat a jaký může být jeho vliv na komunity, v nichž žijeme. — Cílem bylo zapojit všechny, kdo se podílí na životě v komunitě a ukázat, že dobrovolná činnost je součástí aktivního občanství a má pozitivní vliv na mezilidské vztahy i na okolní prostředí. Význam dobrovolnictví by si tak měli uvědomit všichni, kdo mohou přispět k jeho rozvoji a to jak uvnitř regionálních komunit, tak i na dalších úrovních.

Aspects of social solidarity in the perception of young people
VANÍČKOVÁ, Adéla
This bachelor thesis deals with the attitude of the young generation to fulfil the principles of social solidarity in the Czech Republic. The main task is to record and map out the areas, where the marks of social solidarity appear, and to find out how the fulfilment is accepted by the young people. The first half of theoretical part is applied to characterization of social solidarity, its development and every single areas, where the principles are being fulfilled. The social solidarity plays an important role in the company and it is an import part of it. The solidarity is applied in the social security system, in health, education, living and family policy or is proceeding completelly out of public sector. The second part of theroretical part describes in greater detail possible ways of its implementation towards the certain groups. Three kinds of solidarity are presented in this work: obligatory, voluntary and intergeneration. The obligatory solidarity is realized through the social security system and the health care. The voluntary solidarity is realized mostly out of public sector and it is more valuable and better evaluated than the compulsory solidarity. The voluntary solidarity is applied on through the variety of charitable and non-profit organizations and we speak about formal kind of volunteering. On the other hand, informal volunteering is considered as acting when somebody relinquish of something or provides help to somebody else without having any reward expectations. Intergeneration solidarity was in the past comprehended as handing over values, standards, knowledge and experience in frame of family. Nowadays in view of the fact that the age of lives is getting longer and the population is rising, demand of intergeneration solidarity out of family is also rising. The volunteereing could be a good instrument for intergeneration learning. The practical part of this work describes the opinions of enquired respondents to fulfil the principles of social solidarity in the Czech Republic. To arrange all necessary information the quantitative form of investigation has been used. The method of questionaire has been applied. The number of 188 young people participated in this kind of research. The main task was to find out how the young people feel the fulfilment of social solidarity principles in practise. The partial goal was to investigate ? how the young people feel the compulsory and the voluntary solidarity towards chosen social groups. According to the research results, the young people perceive better the voluntary solidarity, however, mostly they take part in informal kind of volunteering. Formal volunteering, i.e. charity and non-profit organization activities are maximal supported by themselves as well. Regarding the obligatory solidarity it has been find out some differencies, especially by the social security system, where is by the way the solidarity of highearning ones with lowearning ones is being fulfilled. Two hypothesis were stated in this kind of research. The first one said that the voluntary solidarity will be better accepted by young people than the compulsory one. The second hypothesis assumed that the young people will feel the affirmative intergeneration demand. Both of them were confirmed on statistic basis. In my opinion, the young people feel the social solidarity system in the Czech Republic in positive way. Most of addressed respondents apply the solidarity towards single social group and furthermore feel affirmative the requirement of intergeneration solidarity realization. However, the results point out that there is slight disagreement with redistributive state policy. This work could help to understand better the relationship between young generation and the essential atribute of social citizienship. Eventually to identification of attitudes heading for restricting the redistribution rate towards the social needy individuals.

Effects of changes in the calculation of pensions to the number of early retirements in the district Jindřichův Hradec
UHLÍKOVÁ, Jana
The aim of this thesis was to find out which impacts of the parametric changes, linked to the change of law no. 155/1995 Sb. about pension insurance, as amended, affected the number of applications for early retirement in the Jindřichův Hradec district. The need to solve this problem arose from the questioning of Section 15 of act no. 155/1995 Sb., as amended, regarding social insurance, which governs the assignment of the calculation basis used to work out the percentual pension allowance. The Constitutional Court concluded that the defined rules generate significant differences between the amount paid into the insurance system and the amount of the old-age benefit received. On this basis the MPSV (Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs) compiled the rule changes for calculation of old-age benefit and together with the other parametric changes prepared, this was proposed as the so-called ?minor pension reform?. The proposal passed through the legislative process and with effect from 30th September 2011 the rules for the calculation of the old-age benefit changed according to the new Act (no. 220/2011 Sb.) that amends Act no. 155/1995 Sb. on social insurance, as amended by subsequent rules, and several other Acts. The new regulations favour citizens with higher incomes. For persons with a lower income the change resulted in lower pensions received, as a result of which some have chosen to apply for early retirement. The aim of this thesis was to survey applications for all types of retirement in the years 2010 and 2011 with emphasis on the number of applications for early retirement in the district of J. Hradec and to analyse the length of prematurity at the time the application for early retirement was submitted. The comparison periods were the months from March to September of the respective years. Based on the given aims, quantitative research was chosen as the method of standardised research and two hypotheses were tested: 1. As a consequence of the changes in the regulations for the benefit calculation the number of early retirement applications has risen. 2. The highest interest in allowance of early retirement was shown by citizens with a maximum of 1 year left before reaching the age limit at which they were entitled to old-age pension benefits. The research was carried out by content and secondary analysis of data contained in the official statistics of ČSSZ (Czech Social Security Administration) and OSSZ (District Social Security Administration) and other available materials for the years 2010 and 2011. After analysis and evaluation of the required information the first defined hypothesis was confirmed; citizens were choosing early retirement regardless of the fact that the percentual assessment of the calculation basis would be reduced for every 90 days before retirement age, but were able to retain their original pension calculation basis. They were making this decision despite the fact that by reduction of the received old-age benefit their pension was lowered by approximately 12%. In this case, providing they satisfied the legal condition of insurance duration, they used the opportunity to retire before reaching the age limit for old-age pension, which meant 3 years early. In the final phase it was confirmed that in the tracked period applications from citizens with up to 1 year left to reach the retirement age did not predominate. The number of applicants retiring 3 years earlier was approximately the same as those with one year left. There were slightly fewer citizens with two years left to satisfy the legal condition of the insurance duration. In the conclusion of the results section, data are also mentioned which evidence the number of state pensions being paid and the expenses used for these benefits from the national budget. This is quite a considerable amount and it continues to rise with the number of pensions being paid.

Attitude of the Public to the Application of the Social Solidarity Principle in the Czech Republic
POTŮČKOVÁ, Barbora
The aim of the thesis was to find out the view of common Czech Republic population on the principle of social and intergenerational solidarity implementation into the society and to find out the rate of confidence of citizens in the state social system. In the theoretical part of my thesis I deal with the principle of the social solidarity, the history of development of the social policy, the social security system and the care about the social security system. I focus on social solidarity target groups and the way of the social security funding, too. My research work is based on the technique of the questionnaire which was performed by questionning in the region of {\clqq} Vysočina land`` via e-mail. I think that I accomplished the stated targets and both hypotheses were proved. Results of the research work are that Czech citizens prove great deal of the social feeling. Conclusions resulted from the research work may serve as warning on the common social tuning and as an indicator of dearth in the social system which would be suitable to solve as the first one.
