Marriage from the perspective of economics and sociology with regard to mate selection
Konrádová, Kateřina ; Šanderová, Jadwiga (advisor) ; Vohlídalová, Marta (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the issue of marriage, or more specifically, on the process of its formation or, in other words, mate selection. The author compares economic (G. S. Becker) and sociological (V. K. Oppenheimer) theory of the marriage market, including assortative mating. The subject of the work is to compare economic and sociological view of the issue of mate selection in an aim to discover common and different elements in the two scientific disciplines as regards the matter. The author works with four comparison criteria. The first one gives a general overview of the marriage market and describes how it functions, the second one shows the relationship between the marriage and job markets, the third is about assortative mating and the fourth one describes and explains changes in marriage behaviour in the second half of the twentieth century. Based on this, the author deems the sociological approach to be more adequate and suitable for investigating such a complex process as mate selection.

Ventová, Kateřina ; Brožová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Janíčko, Martin (referee)
The main goal of this bachelor thesis is a comparison of an economic and a sociological approach to a marriage and a family. The thesis is focused on the methodology and then it deals with the three parts of family life -- entry to marriage, establishing of the family and break-up of marriage. The thesis is trying to find conflicts and agreements between the methods and the conlusions of both sciences. The economic approach to the marriage and the family is represented mainly by the American economist Gary S. Becker. The empirical part of the thesis is focused on the verification of the hypotheses explaining the changes in the marrital and family behaviour. These hypotheses are verified on the data which are related to the population living on the area of the Czech Republic.
