The thesis entitled "Comparison of the social security system in the Czech Republic and Slovakia in relation to persons with disabilities" focuses on a comparison of social security systems for persons with disabilities in the Czech Republic and in the Slovak Republic. The thesis, conceived as a theoretical study, is divided into six main chapters where two objectives were defined: ,,To describe the social security system of persons with disabilities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia" and ,,To identify the differences in the systems of social security of people with disabilities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia". Study and analysis of the documents and then comparison of the information gathered there of were used as the research methods. The chapter focusing on social security in the Czech Republic and Slovakia in the years 1945 and 1992 describes, in particular, the gradual state paternalism in the field of social security and the passive position of the citizens in this system. In the context of the given topic, it was also important to determine that the social security system under the socialist government did not address the situation of the poor, the unemployed and particularly the persons with disabilities. The final part of this chapter outlines social reform after 1989, which on the one hand restored rights of the citizens and their responsibility for their lives and, on the other hand also defined and suggested solutions of non-existent social situations in the socialist period. An interesting finding that differences of opinion on the progress of the economy transformation and social reforms might have been one of the reasons that contributed to the dissolution of the Czechoslovak Federation was established. Chapters 3 and 4 describe the social security systems for PWD (person with disabilities) in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The conditions for a disablement pension entitlement, method of assessing disablement, method of calculation, amount of a pension, etc. were described firstin each of these chapters. In addition, specific allowances for persons with disabilities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, including the DID card, and finally social services for PWD, their types, providers, financing, quality assessment, etc. were outlined. Chapter 5 and sub-chapters compare disability pensions, allowances and social services in both countries. The comparison is based on the data included in Chapters 3 and 4 describing both of the social security schemes for PWD, on expert opinions and the author´s own experiences. The end of Chapter 5 emphasizes the main problems of both systems. Their solution was suggested. Chapter 6 summarizes the results of the comparison.
