Determinanty dlouhodobé nezaměstnanosti v okrese Frýdek-Místek

Abstract

The bachelor's thesis “Determinants of Long-term Unemployment in the Frýdek-Místek District” focuses on analyzing the structure of long-term unemployed individuals registered at the Labor Office in the Frýdek-Místek district. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the context of long-term unemployment, the factors contributing to its emergence, and its potential impacts. In the research section of the thesis, indicators were examined that formed the basis for analyzing the structure of long-term unemployed individuals. These indicators included age, duration of unemployment, education, health status, and the CZ-ISCO classification — both in terms of the last job held and the desired occupation. The following part of the research focused on cumulative problems that may hinder individuals from reentering the labor market. These issues include being over the age of 50, having any health problem, and having a low level of education. The research findings show that more than half of those registered at the Labor Office in the Frýdek-Místek district have been registered for over 24 months. Among this group, the most common cumulative problems are being over 50 years of age and having poor health. This section also observed changes in individuals’ employment classification according to CZ-ISCO, comparing their last employment with their desired occupation. The greatest downward shift was recorded among women affected by issues such as being over 50 years old and having health problems, with an average decline of nearly three categories. In the conclusion of the thesis, recommendations are presented that fall under active labor market policies and could contribute to improving the current situation of long-term unemployed individuals in the Frýdek-Místek district.
