Financial support to the families with children in the different types of welfare state

The diploma thesis "Financial support to the families with children in the different types of welfare state" deals with the direct governmental financial support to the families with children in the Czech Republic. The thesis provides with a brief survey of the system of these tools in the states analyzed with the thesis, i.e. United Kingdom as a residual welfare state, France as a corporative welfare state and Sweden as a social democratic welfare state. The practical part of the thesis is dedicated to the comparative analysis of the systems of the benefits in these states. Based on the results of comparative analysis, recommendations for measures and changes in the current Czech system are made. The recommendations reflect the needs and priorities of current family policy in the Czech Republic. The final part of the thesis was focused on detailed analysis of selected tools with a view to evaluate to which extent these tools contribute to the desired income equality between families with children and without children. Detailed adjustments in the system of the benefits, which were identified and suggested in the thesis, were evaluated by chosen experts in the given area.
