Family economics: Fertility rate and the pension motive
Bradáč, Michal ; Mlčoch, Lubomír (advisor) ; Votápková, Jana (referee)
This work focuses on importance of pension motive for havin children in developed countries. It starts with discussion of conditions, under which old age security hypothesis is likely to hold. It continues with overview of demographic trends in selected developed countries and stresses the negative impact of long term fertility decline on pension systems sustainability and performance. In the next part of this thesis we use cluster analysis to compare pension systems in developed countries and the way developed countries deal with lack of human capital. Special attention is paid to comparison of Scandinavian social welfare state model with Southern European welfare state model and with group of three Asian Tigers. Keywords: fertility, pension systems, family economics

Community property - illusion or reality? The allowance model through the eyes of women
Andreska, Zuzana ; Kobová, Ĺubica (advisor) ; Maříková, Hana (referee)
This diploma thesis concerns the issue of economic autonomy of women in marriage in light of the legal institute of community property. The thesis touches upon the relationship between reproductive and productive labour in today's society and its impact on economic autonomy of women. Using the method of feminist in-depth interview, the author analyses the phenomena of allowance system, which is related to the women's exit from the labour market. The aim of the thesis is to contribute to the economic autonomy of women through uncovering of mechanisms of the emergence, sustaining and rationalisation of the allowance system. The thesis' contribution stems from its analysis of the functioning of allowance system, which is specific for the control men have over family finances. As such, the allowance system deviates from the imperative of solidarity between spouses, which is legally embedded in the institute of community property. The conclusion of the thesis is that the perception of family as a solidary institution which functions on the basis of altruism is an example of ignorance of power hierarchy within families.

A feminist critique of the neoclassical economics
Hromádka, Ondřej ; Špecián, Petr (advisor) ; Čermáková, Klára (referee)
The Bachelor Degrese Thesis deals with the evaluation of the feminist criticism of neoclassical economics. The fundamental question is whether the critical feminist judgments will have any serious impact to the neoclassical theory. The first part is a placement of both schools in their approach. Another part is following by a general criticism of the feminists at model area, methods and topics. In the last part, based on the analysis of family economics and investment in human capital of children, concludes that feminist criticism is unjustified. The thesis accepts the criteria for accepting its claims in a poorly reasoned argument of the critics and subsequently weak alternative starting points.
