Šubáková, Dominika ; Chytilová, Julie (advisor) ; Čornanič, Aleš (referee)
The core of the presented bachelor thesis is to determine the effects of sibling's composition on child health quality. The first part of the thesis is focused on the microeconomic description of Model of Human Capital Investment, the Gender-Specific Model in particular. Also other findings and the health system of the examined countries are presented. In the second part, based on the findings from the theoretical model, three hypotheses are stated. Methodology is explained and econometric model is presented. How the gender, ratio of sisters and birth order affect health of children are subsequently tested for chosen Asian countries, namely, Bangladesh, India and Nepal. The last part is devoted to the description of empirical results and the occurred differences are discussed. The sibling's composition has shown to be an influential factor, mainly gender and ratio of sisters. Key words child health, sibling structure, allocation of household resources, human capital investment

To make this existing knowledge accessible, this work uses a historical approach to identify the main elements that have shaped the integration experiences of guest workers in Germany, tied in with an econometric examination assessing the main factors in turn associated with the economic integration of the current refugee cohort. Comparison of the results suggest that a range of obstacles faced by guest workers and their...

The next part assesses the advantages and disadvantages of labor migration for both sending and host countries, and also from a global perspective, defines the term Human capital investment and shows the mechanisms of measurement of the incentive for natives to invest in their own human capital. At the end I evaluate the strategy applied in the Czech Republic concerning migration of experts.
