The main theme of this thesis is to capture formation and development of the social security system that provides hedging of individuals against illness, invalidity and old age. The first modern form of the social security within the area of Czech state appeared at the end of 18th century in the form of so called Theresian and Josephinian pension normals. These normals were designed to secure retired state officers against poverty. In the late 19th century were adopted two important norms - law concerning accident insurance and law about sickness insurance for workers. Pension insurance program for workers, the largest social group, was established as late as 1924. The Social security system was split among several offices, also insufficiently hedged by steady incomes in wage-workers and miners insurance; as a consequence it led to indebtedness of the system.

Social security is an important part of the state social policy. The social security development depends upon many factors and their interaction and interpretation changes in historic context. Historic sources of social security development show a strong and urgent need of the state to deal with these questions. Chapter 1 contains a continual historical overview of social security in Czech Republic. The development of this important part of the state economy is closely connected to political and economical situation and the need of valid legal enactment implementation. The social security concept is inspired by proven models of other countries, especially Sweden. The basic system principles have to be respected simultaneously. Chapter 3 follows the fundamental problems which have been monitored since 2000. Their particular form is summed up in seven principal paragraphs. As the Czech Republic is now a part of the European economic space I find very important to treat the basic principles and objectives of social policy in European countries, however in general terms. Chapter 5 describes individual phases of the social security reform which have been put into effect in 2008 and also a concept which has been prepared for 2009

This diploma thesis explores effective tax rates of personal income tax in the European Union. It analyzes the tax policy of newer and older EU member states in relation to personal income tax and social security. Structural elements of this tax play an important role in taxation of natural persons and differ vastly in individual states of the EU. The discrepations among the taxation rates can cause serious problems in the functioning of the single market of the EU. The EU aims to coordinate and harmonize the direct taxes, which would remove the obstacles to the single market functioning. The taxation of natural persons shows apparent mutual differences among the states -- not just regarding rates of this particular tax -- resulting from cultural customs. These differences do not, so far, enable the approximation of individual states in natural persons' taxation and create space for possible tax competition.

This diploma thesis is dealing with social work theories and their usage in practice of social workers. Theoretical part describes their historical evolution until actual crisis of social work. Afterwards it is aimed on specific model, task centred approach. This approach has in Czech environment exceptional position, because it shows parallels with Act on social services and Standards of social services quality. Conclusion of theoretical part is dedicated to relationship between how social workers use in their practice social work theories and how this state is reflected in their professionality. Practical part is processed in form of qualitative research in which ten social workers took part. Through half structured interview were mapped if and which way social workers are using in their practice social work theories, and their experiences with task centred approach. Results of research, which are more closely elaborated within final discussion showed suppressed importance of theories. Social workers usually in their practice are not using specific theory (nor task centred approach), but they more rely on "their own theories" or internal rules of organization where they work.

In 2006, there were changes in the social security system through the adoption of Act No. 110/2006 Coll., about subsistence level and living wage, Act No. 111/2006 Coll., On assistance in material need and Act No. 435/2004 Coll. on employment.

At the same time the advantage of individuals who actively solve their situation compared to those who are passive recipients of benefits. With the adoption of these laws was to strengthen the incentive function of the social system, the transition from passive to active solidarity, impaired access to social benefits and avoiding the misuse of social benefits.
