The thesis "the growing indebtedness of Czech households: a case study of single mothers" deals with the issue of indebtedness of Czech households with a focus on single mother's debt. This is a topic not too popular, but in this time of increasing household debt is still very topical. The primary objective of this study is to determine what are the causes of indebtedness of single-parent families (single mothers). In addition, determine whether it is appropriate to deal with the problem in general or specifically focusing on a particular group. Finally, the author deals with the topic of social networks, which may or may not have an effect on the debt ratio of the selected groups of people, and also focuses on finding, if enough of the non-profit organizations that can help single mothers complex living situation.

Le cadre juridique du recours des collectivités territoriales et de leurs groupements au crédit a subi d’importantes modifications lors des nombreuses réformes dont a fait l’objet le secteur public local.En dépit de ces évolutions, l’emprunt des collectivités territoriales continue d’être au coeur d’un paradoxe entre autonomie et contrainte. Il constitue d’abord un facteur d’autonomie pour les décideurs locaux comme cela s’est accentué avec la libéralisation du crédit qui s’est produite au cours de la seconde moitié du XXème siècle. Les collectivités territoriales doivent ainsi désormais user de cette autonomie pour répondre aux enjeux induits par la banalisation de cet instrument qui intègre dans une large mesure le champ du droit privé et dont les pratiques ne cessent de se complexifier. La liberté acquise n’est toutefois pas totale. D’une part, l’autonomie offerte au secteur public local dans son recours à l’emprunt ne reste que relative dès lors que l’État continue d’imposer un encadrement multiple et ce, tant à travers l’existence de règles que par la mise en place de procédures de contrôle.D’autre part, cette autonomie a fait émerger de nouveaux enjeux pour les décideurs locaux qui ont vula notion de risque financer s’inscrire au coeur de leurs politiques d’endettement. L’actualité la plus récente de l’emprunt local demeure du reste une parfaite illustration de ce paradoxe entre autonomie et contrainte avec des collectivités territoriales qui ont connu d’importantes difficultés liées à leur recours au crédit. / Regarding the recourse of local authorities and their consortiums to credit, the applicable legalframework went through a number of significant modifications. These modifications took place duringthe numerous reforms of the local public sector. In spite of these evolutions, the indebtness capacity of local authorities continues to be at the heart of an autonomy and constraint paradox. Theliberalisation of credit that took place during the second half of the XXth century accentuated theautonomy factor for local deciders. Local authorities must use this autonomy to find solutions to thechallenges induced by the trivialization of this tool - a tool that for a large part incorporates privatelaw - and the practices of which never cease to increase in complexity. The acquired liberty ishowever not absolute. On one hand the autonomy given to the local public sector in its recourse to debt remains relative as long as the State continues to impose a multi-layered framework - this takingplace not only through the existence of rules but also through the implementation of contro lprocedures. On the other hand, this same autonomy enabled the rise of new challenges for localdeciders : the notion of financial risk found itself at the very heart of their debt policies. The mostrecent event with regards to local debt is a perfect illustration of this autonomy and constraintparadox, and local authorities faced great difficulties regarding their resort to credit
