My thesis deals with the attitude of public to foster care. One of the paradoxical issues is the fact that the number of children who are not reared by their biological parents remains quite high while the number of childless partnerships (though desiring offspring) is growing. In the Czech Republic, similarly as in other European countries, about 1% of children (about 20,000) do not grow up in their biological families. Only 2% of that group are full orphans. The remaining 98% of children have living biological parents who do not or cannot take care of them. I endeavored to find out how well individual members of the Czech society are informed about one of the possible solutions of infertility: alternate family care. Using questionnaires, I focused on several age and level of education groups and asked general as well as more personal questions. In the general part, I wanted to find out whether the individual knew what alternate family care was, the different kinds of alternate family care, who provides support during the process, what are the different options, the difference between adoption and foster care, etc. Then I inquired about their own willingness to take in a child, whether sex of the child, somatic and intellectual predisposition were criteria for them and whether they would take in a child of a different ethnicity. It is interesting to note that women are usually more prone to blame themselves for infertility.

Care of employees, with a focus on working conditions of handicapped ones. The purpose of my thesis is to describe the evolution and current state of legislation applying to care of employees and working conditions of employees with a disability. The thesis begins with an introduction, where I outline the reasons why I chose this topic, the method used, and the outcome that I intend to reach. The body of the thesis is divided into eight chapters. The first chapter provides the reader with an outline of legal sources constituting the basis of this segment of the law, including the transition from the previous Labour Code to the current one, showing how the notion of care of employees has developed over time and explaining why care of employees should be distinguished from terms such as "personnel management" or "human resources management". It covers the functions and segmentation of care of employees and mentions both Czech and international (EU and non-EU) legal standards and regulation governing the subject matter of the thesis, as well as relevant international conventions and agreements.
