The subject of this thesis is an analysis of support for families with children in pension and tax system of the Czech Republic. In pension system family is supported in connection with survivor pensions and parents are supported in relation to retirement pensions. Tax system allows to families with children various tax credits that reduce the final tax liability. Furthermore, from this system are paid state benefits and foster care benefits. In terms of overall tax support are in the Czech Republic the most supported medium- and high-income households with both parents and single parent households the least. The theoretical part deals with various kinds of support within each system. The practical part contains analysis of support from the tax system and health insurance system as other form of support for families with children. Its aim is to quantify changes in income of model families based on the number of children and income level before kids.

The thesis will be aimed on problematics of the social politics, concretely on comparison of the Czech republic pension system and Finland pension system. Aim of the theoretical part of thesis will be to explain and clarify problematics of social politics with focus on pension systems. Diploma thesis will also contain strict preview of the pension system from the political view, because pension system is influenced by the political decisions a lot. Aim of the practical part of thesis will be pointing out between pension systems, reveal their pros and cons and finding appropriate implications, if there are some for Czech pension system and suggest possible improvements to the future. Basic hypothesis of this thesis will be then tested on this comparative analysis. Conclusion of this thesis should reveal answer to the question, if there are some principles and mechanisms, Czech republic can be inspired from Finland and if it is appropriate to implicate these principles to the Czech system.

The purpose of this thesis is an analysis of the development of the pension system in the Czech Republic since 1989. The emphasis is placed on reform provisions and on their impact on public budgets. Future direction is discussed next. The demographic development raises concerns about the financial sustainability of pension systems. The changes in the structure of the system were made after several years of discussions and a number of parametric adjustments. The question of sustainability is not closed yet. Recent changes are canceled and the system returned to the previous state. The reason was a lack of political and general agreement about this type of reform. The theoretical part deals with the definition of public budgets with a focus on social security. The importance and the function of pension systems are characterized in the next section. Pension systems are classified by the operator, by the method of calculating pension benefits and by the type of funding. Each pension system is based on tradition and is influenced by the development of society in the political, economic and social fields. In the practical part is performed the analysis of the pension system structured according to the periods. The impact of the reform provisions is illustrated on the state of public budgets. The thesis concludes that the initial efforts to change the system fundamentally will be replaced by attempts to implement minor adjustments. In the case of structural reform in the future it could be considered the application of modern pension theory, which recommends Pan-European pension system.

In this thesis is introduced unusual approach of pension system which takes into account number of behaved children. Attention is given to evaluation and comparison of the specific proposals of this approach if they can contribute to financial sustainability of the pension system. The theoretical part of the thesis is focused on classification of pension systems generally and characterization of the pension system in the Czech Republic. In the practical part of my thesis, the comparison between costs for raising a child and the state children financial support is shown on the theoretical example for parents with average salaries. Finally there are two recommended proposals of pension system which take into account number of children. The first one is based on implementation of mandatory funded pillar. The second concept operates within pay-as-you-go system with implementation of generation fund. The generation fund represents financial reserve to cover pensions in the period when productive generation will not be able to finance pensions sufficiently.

1. In the theoretical part: theoretical determination of retirement (pension) systems, determination of the pillared system in Slovak retirement sphere. 2. In the practical part: analysis of demographic situation, and resulting solutions for the innitiated Slovak pension reform, analysis and evaluation, in main features, of Slovak pension reform that was begun in the past. 3. Slovak pension reform evaluation with determination of its possible application for the Czech republic.

My diploma thesis aims at legislation changes within pension scheme and employee benefits. The focus of my work is a detailed analysis of the present pension reform and consequently its effects on the attitude of companies. This matter is then analyzed based on my own practical research. At the same time my diploma thesis continues my bachelor's thesis dealing in detail the matter of Comparison of Motivation Efficiency of Pension Scheme and Life Insurance by Individual Providers.

The main addressed question of this thesis is whether international experiences indicate that private pension pillar contributes to the profitability and stability of pension system and economic development. Firstly, global private pension pillar is characterized. Its long term return is estimated from derived virtual portfolio. Following Aaron-Samuelson principle, it is calculated notional return of global public pension pillar. Comparing returns of both pillars, there is slightly higher return of private pension pillar, but considering variability, entailing risk, the public pension pillar becomes favorable. Moreover, combination of both pillar doesn't seem to be effective since both returns are well correlated. Next section of the thesis deals with economic effects of private pension pillar on labor market. Simple correlation doesn't proof a positive linking of private pension pillar's contribution magnitude and labor activity, expressed as an average annual working time of population in productivity age. Subsequent analysis of private pension pillar's outlook in selected countries illustrates unfulfilled expectations of participants in private pension pillars. Reflecting all particular findings, it wasn't confirmed that private pension pillars substantially contribute to profitability and stability of pension system and performance of economy.

The subject of diploma thesis is the pension system in the Czech Republic. We warn about the deficit increase in the future and suggest taking the number of children raised into consideration in the pension system construction. Pension system in the Czech Republic is described in detail. The first "pay-as-you-go" pillar represents the main part of the system. It could bring financial problems (if the retirement pension and pension income tax will stay at the same level as now) considering the expected trends in demography. Population projection was calculated using cohort component method (including migration). The threshold for the projection is year 2011, projection is calculated with 100-year horizon. There were also calculated revenues and expenses of the pension system for each projected year. If the expected parameters of the projection will be realized, the deficit of pension system in the hundred year period will reach 9.5 billion Kč (prices 2011). It represents the deficit 95.3 milliard Kč each year in the average. To reduce the deficit it is possible to increase the pension tax paid by productive people. But it could also bring the decline of fertility, because lower income could make people decide to reduce number of children. It would deepen the problems in the pay-as-you-go system. The financial problem of pension system could be solved by taking the number of children raised into consideration of the pension system construction. It would eliminate the situation that it is economically more favourable to be childless during the life. It could also bring the fertility increase. In the diploma thesis the value of the deficit is simulated for the various parameters of pension system and for the various demographic development in the future.

My diploma dissertation concerns the theoretical introduction of the retirement system, economic theories and the cause of the retirement reform in the first part. The second part represents the analysis of so-called small retirement reform and is focused on the retirement system since the beginning in 2013 with the accent to newly established retirement saving. The aim of my diploma dissertation is the evaluation of the existing functioning of the second pillar and the reasons of the low interest of the inhabitants. The comparison with the chosen states where the retirement saving already operates is a part of the second pillar analysis. Slovakia and Hungary are the European representatives with the similar schema of the retirement system and Chilean system is based on the fund financing. The opinion of the population was checked with the questioning. The pivotal part of my diploma dissertation and its main goal is the analysis of the second pillar accession availability from the age, income, family situation, investment strategy point of view and other criteria. The strategy with the low earning is suitable for the higher incomes only as resulted from the calculation. The more aggressive investment strategy with higher earning is convenient for the younger people with lower income and the older the more suitable access contingent on the higher income. As there is no interest in the second pillar participation the goal of my diploma dissertation is the proposal of alternative methods as investment or saving products of the bank institution for the old age security.

The diploma thesis is focused on issues concerning employment of elderly people in the Czech Republic. The thesis contains main theoretical resources including demographic predictions. Furthermore analyzes macroeconomic context and the causes of employment development of people over fifty years old in last ten years. In last chapter there are described method of calculation of pension benefit, retirement age, revenues and expenses of pension system and its sustainability. This thesis verifies hypothesis that increasing retirement age could solve the sustainability problem of first pillar of pension system. In conclusion, the results of the research are evaluated.
