Ekonomická motivácia nízkopríjmových profesií vo vybraných regiónoch Českej republiky pre vstup na trh práce

Abstract

The thesis deals with the question of whether the expected working income of selected low-income groups in selected regions of the Czech Republic acts as an economic motivation for entering the labor market or, on the contrary, is demotivating and subjects will prefer to stay in the state of long-term unemployment associated with receiving social benefits from the state. The thesis focuses on situations where it is not favorable for an individual in the household to start working for a given wage in the selected region from an economic point of view. His welfare income is lower than income from work, but the individual or household considers this income. The chapters used a descriptive method for data processing and a comparison method, which compared the variables of selected economic professions and households in the regions of the Czech Republic. The difference between disposable household income and social benefits is a motivational difference. If the work income is high enough for social benefits, this means that their motivation to prefer work is higher than the motivation to receive social benefits. However, social benefits are not always so low. They can cause the incentive gap to be low and insignificant for households, so they prefer to stay in the situation of long-term unemployment and social benefits.
