Analýza rozsahu pracujících chudých v České republice v období 2005 až 2013

The object of my thesis is poverty of working people in the Czech Republic during the years 2005 and 2013. Working poverty is a phenomenon that is becoming a modern problem of the European labour market because employment has stopped to be a guarantee against poverty. The aim of my thesis was to find out the risk of poverty rate of working people in the Czech society and to define who is most affected by this phenomenon, especially considering the fact of being a male or a female. Using an indicator of Eurostat In-work at risk-of-poverty rate, it was found out, on the basis of data from sample survey Living conditions (EU-SILC), that the risk of working poverty rate oscillates at 3,7 % in the Czech Republic. It means that the proportion of working people affected by poverty increased during the observed time period. On average, women are more endangered then men, even when the difference between the risk of poverty rate of working women and the risk of poverty rate of working men is negligible. By means of determinants impact analysis on the working poverty level, it was found out that among working people most affected by working poverty rank persons living alone or in a household with dependent children, with low work intensity, low incomes, low education and non-standard work load, e. g. part-time job, seasonal work, fixed-term contract, or are self-employed. Young people from 18 to 24 years are especially affected by working poverty.
