Comparison of Social Protection Systems in EU Countries with a Focus on the Family
ŠTROBLOVÁ, Lucie
The bachelor thesis compares social protection systems in EU countries with a focus on families. The aim of the thesis is to describe current trends in family support based on the comparison of social protection systems in EU countries using the MISSOC database. The desk research method (analysis of data and information from the MISSOC database) and comparison were chosen to achieve the aim of the work. The compared data of individual support measures were subsequently inserted into charts and graphs. Based on the comparison, current trends in family support in EU countries were described. The results of the research show that the level of support varies among EU countries. However, common features can also be observed, especially in financial assistance to families. A significant trend is the balance of work and family life, which is achieved in various ways. The trend of encouraging fathers to participate in childcare, including through extending paternity leave, should not be overlooked either. The research has also provided possible inspiration for the Czech Republic in supporting families, especially by utilizing Swedish experience in the area of parental benefits, which could bring benefits to families in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, the Czech Republic could be inspired by Austria or Estonia, where family support is at a high level. The results of this thesis can serve as recommendations for experts in the event of possible changes in the social protection system, especially in the provision of family benefits. They can also be used to orientate oneself in family support in individual EU countries.

Family policy in France
Jindrová, Eliška ; Krebs, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Stočková, Olga (referee)
The graduation thesis concerns the system of family support in France whose position among other national family policies is exceptional, as are the positive natality results. Historical development of French family policy has got considerably deep roots and its functioning has practically not changed since the World War Two. French system relies on a few specific features of which can be mentioned the family allowances awarded to families with two children in minimum independently of family earnings, preference of three-children family model, important role of tax-based instruments and organised representation of family interests. Also specialized help destined to incomplete families and populous families can not be forgotten. Because of the existence of the other ways of support the total financial expenditures in favour of families can not be reduced only to direct support represented by family grants which is often represented in international statistics. Another related problem is the living conditions of families with children, which is in general lower. In France thanks to all the assistance the living conditions get more favorable whereas the families with three and more children being the most advantaged. The system of French family policy can be compared with the Czech system. Situation in the Czech Republic is different especially as regards the magnitude of direct aid which was the main method of family support and targeted the poorest families. But by means of reforms and recently proposed measures the situation has been changing and the possible access to certain attributes of French system can be observed.
