Hodnocení výkonnosti vybraných veřejných služeb v zemích Evropské unie

Abstract

This master thesis evaluates the performance of selected public services in the European Union countries for the period 2017-2022, focusing on health, education and social services. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the performance of these selected public services in the European Union countries. The objective is achieved by using the quantitative CRITIC and weighted sum methods, also the methods of analysis, deduction, comparison and synthesis. The research itself is divided into groups of EU countries according to the traditional public administration model into French, German, Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian traditions. The research shows that France is the best performing country in the field of education. In contrast, Cyprus is on the opposite side of the scale except for 2021. In health care, Germany is the best performing country. By contrast, Ireland is on the other side of the scale, except for 2020. In social services, Germany is the best performing country. By contrast, Malta is on the other side of the scale except for 2020 and 2021. Countries that are underperforming should seek to increase public spending in particular areas, although this is also conditional on population size and the political situation in the countries.
