| Abstract: | The thesis discusses the overall characteristics of Czech welfare state. First it describes the emergence and evolution of the welfare state in general and divides particular types of welfare state according to Esping-Andersen’s typology. Then it deals with the Czech welfare state. It characterizes the development since Austro- Hungarian Empire until 2010. It points to the specific nature of Czech welfare state, which consists of all different types of welfare state. In empirical part, the social transfer abuse is examined, using a regression model. The examination is restricted to sick-leave. The model shows relation between the sickness benefit, wage and sickness absence, which illustrates the highprobable benefit abuse. Finally the thesis discusses the main reason to defraud – low identification of citizens with the state, which stems from the history. |
