The objective of master thesis "Recent trends in education of the unemployed people in Denmark and the Czech Republic" is to describe active labour market policy of Denmark and the Czech Republic. The focus is specifically on young unemployed people representing the group with the highest unemployment rate on the Europeans labour market.

The thesis is a theoretical study, working with relevant information sources of these two countries and with documents of EU. The result of this thesis is to be acquainted with the recent trends of this area, e.g. support of the further education or internships as an instrument of education in praxis.

Strašková, Tereza ; Pavelka, Tomáš (advisor) ; Sirůček, Pavel (referee)
The thesis examines youth unemployment in European Union, specifically in Germany, Spain, and the Czech Republic. The main goal of the study is to coherently evaluate a development of youth unemployment rate since 2005, and to find out its fundamental causes. The thesis is split into two parts. The first part covers a theoretical background of the chosen topic. The following part, firstly, investigates individual countries in terms of labour market development, impacts of the world crises, and educational systems. Subsequently, the rate of young unemployed people in the selected countries is analysed. The work investigates the development of youth unemployment rate, the long-term youth unemployment rate, the NEET, and the European Union actions.

Youth Unemployment: What Can the Flow Data Tell Us?
Šlegerová, Lenka ; Flek, Vladislav (advisor) ; Janotík, Tomáš (referee)
Youth Unemployment: What Can the Flow Data Tell Us? Author: Lenka Šlegerová Supervisor: doc. Ing. Vladislav Flek, CSc. Academic Year: 2015/2016 Abstract This thesis deals with the dynamics of the Czech labour market, with special emphasis on the youth. The calculations of gross labour market flows and flow transition rates deliver evidence on higher youth labour market dynamics compared to prime-age labour market. The thesis then analyses the driving forces of unemployment rate fluctuations. It explores the concept of steady-state unemployment rate and then focuses on decomposition of fluctuations in the steady-state unemployment rate. In the Czech Republic, the results at the aggregate level suggest that changes in unemployment inflow contribute with considerably higher share to the fluctuations in steady-state unemployment rate than changes in unemployment outflow. In case of the youth steady-state unemployment rate, changes in unemployment inflow account for an even higher share of fluctuations in the steady-state unemployment rate.

The analysis of causes of the youth unemployment (15-24 age class) in European Union in years 2000-2015
Šulai, Michal ; Czesaný, Slavoj (advisor) ; Bartůsková, Lucia (referee)
The aim of this thesis was to analyze main causes of youth unemployment in countries of European Union. In order to assess main determinants of this negative phenomenon, an econometric model based on panel data was constructed. Source dataset, containing mainly Eurostat data, covers EU-28 countries in the 2000-2014 period. Results of a regression inclined that youth unemployment is effected mainly by overall economic development. Youth unemployment is more sensitive for economic downturns than unemployment in an adult age class. The model also suggested that cuts in payroll taxes and deregulation in the minimum wage legislation could have positive effect on youth employment. Based on the literature, reforms toward more practical and effective education system with elements of dual apprenticeship, could be also a positive step in tackling youth unemployment. However, an econometric-based proof of this hypothesis was not found.

Determinants of youth unemployment
Lakotová, Lenka ; Slaný, Martin (advisor) ; Brožová, Dagmar (referee)
This thesis deals with the determinants of youth unemployment It uses the panel data regression analysis of EU countries. The work assembled models with the dependent variable the unemployment rate and the model is estimated for each demographic group. The models are represented by institutional variables, the macro-economic variables, demographic variables and variables representing education. The goal is to prove or disprove the hypothesis that individual determinants affect differently to the youth unemployment rate and unemployment rate of main age group. Partial task is to answer the question whether more significant determinants of unemployment rate are institutional or macro-economic determinants. The result of the analysis work is that institutional factors are not important determinants of unemployment rate. Conversely, macro-economic variables, GDP growth and inflation are significant determinants. Significant determinants are also variables representing education. The estimated coefficients of these significant determinants and variables employment labor protection and the tax rate are higher for young people than for the main age group. However, there was not found determinant that would be robustly more significant for youth than for main age group.

Analysis of unemployment of young people in the Czech republic
Šleisová, Jaroslava ; Miskolczi, Martina (advisor) ; Antovová, Michaela (referee)
The bachelor thesis is focused on analysis of unemployment of young people in the age up to 29 years in the Czech Republic during 2003--2013. Exactly these people belong to threatened groups on the labour market in recent years. Further, unemployed university graduates were selected from the age group of young ones and were analysed according to their differences based on attained education at the university and time since the graduation, during which they are registered at labour office of the Czech Republic. Unemployment trend was mainly influenced by economic crisis, when substantial increase of unemployment in all age groups was identified and young people aged 20--29 years belong to most threatened age group on the labour market. This could be caused by reluctance of companies to employ workers without experience. Trend of unemployment of graduates worsened after economic crisis. The most of unemployed graduated was in the period till half year after graduation.

The influence of labour market rigidity level on unemployment in selected EU countries in 2014 and 2015
Soustružník, Tomáš ; Vostrovská, Zdenka (advisor) ; Hájek, Jan (referee)
This thesis analyzes the impact of labour market rigidity on long-term and youth unemployment in the Czech Republic, France and Great Britain over the last 15 months. A regulation becomes an integral part of the labour market, since its primary objective is to protect the rights of employees and employers, thereby it leads to dampening the speed of adaptation to market changes. The thesis provides a comparison of Labour Codes, including the assessement of other factors affecting labour market flexibility. The facts are subsequently applied to the development of unemployment rates in all three countries. Combining data analysis and theoretical research, I reached the conclusion that the relation between rigidity level and unemployment rate is negative. This means that the more rigid labour market is the higher long-term and youth unemployment causes.

Analysis of labour market in Spain
Blažková, Tereza ; Melcher, Ota (advisor) ; Čajka, Radek (referee)
Bachelor thesis analyses actual labour market situation in Spain. Actually, this situation is very negative because the unemployment rate is very high. This thesis explains what the labour market is and it defines essential terms connected with labour market. It also describes the overall economic situation of the country and the construction and real estate boom, which in Spain lasted until 2007. It explains the causes of the high unemployment rate in Spain, especially the reasons for high unemployment among young people under 25 years of age, which in 2013 exceeded the 50% limit. Furthermore, thesis cites a number of recommendations, which should help to reduce the high unemployment. The thesis also discussed the status of women in the labour market, examined whether women have the same working conditions as men in the labour market and whether they are in companies and enterprises considered equivalent associates.
