With the ageing of the population, the growth of public expenditure, especially the expenditure on old-age pensions and health care, is gaining importance. The paper discusses the possible impacts of population ageing, the sustainability of the existing old-age security system and the economic aspects of the negative impacts of population ageing.

Financial Crisis in Economies with External Imbalances: A Comparative Analysis of Ireland and Spain
Semerák, Ondřej ; Váška, Jan (advisor) ; Young, Mitchell (referee)
The financial crisis of 2007-08 has had momentous consequences for most developed countries and triggered recession on the global financial markets. Consequently, economies with pre- existing deficiencies were hit in particular. In the European Union, especially two groups of member states with specific imbalances could be discerned. This thesis is intended to discuss the impacts on economies with external imbalances, where the crisis was not rooted in public finance profligacy. The main protagonists, Ireland and Spain, experienced resembling economic boom prior to the crisis, later accompanied by accumulation of foreign debt and real estate bubbles. Nonetheless, despite the strong similarities in their economic development their paths diverged after the bust, and Ireland has been given as an example for successful austerity. This thesis presents key determinative factors which differentiated Spain from Ireland in the reviving processes to discuss the hypothesis that the Irish recovery was generated solely by the implemented countermeasures and that it can therefore be considered a model for future crisis management. The objective of this thesis is to address this assertion and to evaluate its correctness using a detailed overview of structural specificities of the economies, as well as of the...

The Fiscal Decentralization in Czech Republic in International comparison.
VOMÁČKOVÁ, Šárka
This thesis explores the development of fiscal decentralisation in the countries of Europe, especially in the Czech Republic in comparison with other countries. Fiscal decentralisation is a part of fiscal federalism and decision-making on public finances. These finances are spent for public goods, used by people. The fiscal decentralisation is commonly associated with the assignment of authority to lower levels of government and this is necessary due to different needs of economic subjects in different regions of the country. These lower levels of government knows, how to use conferred public finances in their region (jurisdiction) wisely. The fiscal decentralisation specifies, how much in detail the government can affect the structure and quality of public goods in each region of the country. The important results are achieved by means of the formula of Sub-national revenues (% of total revenues) and Sub-national expenditures (% of total expenditures).

Welfare state in developing countries: Case study of Botswana, Ghana and India
Šanc, Filip ; Novotný, Josef (advisor) ; Matoušek, Roman (referee)
This diploma thesis explores the emergence of the welfare state in developing countries, in particular shown on the example of Botswana, Ghana and India. The inquiry is focused on the period beginning in 1990, when the neoliberal paradigm was dominating, untill 2010. The recent years are in token of the shift from the neoliberalism to the post-neoliberalism characterized by a number of concepts, which are taking into account. The common feature of these concepts is the diversion from the narrow focus on GDP, as the only indicator of the growth, to the social dimension of the development. This shift is also being distinguished as a transition from the basic-needs concept to the rights-based approach. Therefore, the thesis explores, if these shifts are remarkable in the analyzed countries, eventually, if there are any divergences as compared to the theoretical concepts. To achieve this goal, a broader analysis of the welfare state was used, which involves social, health and education policy. Based on this analysis, the diploma thesis tries to classify the analyzed countries into the welfare state typology; eventually, in case such classification is impossible, it describes the weaknesses of this welfare state the typology.
