Komparace principu solidarity a zásluhovosti na příkladu vyplácení nemocenských dávek a nemocenského pojištění v České republice, Švédsku a Velké Británii v roce 2019

The bachelor thesis analyzes the systems of health insurance and wage compensation in the Czech Republic, Sweden and Great Britain. The differences between the systems come from a different attitude to the social policy of the state. The Czech Republic and Sweden fall under the social democratic and redistributive model, while the United Kingdom falls under the residual and liberal model. In the Czech and Swedish systems, we observe considerable solidarity from the point of view of the poor - rich, but also healthy - sick. On the contrary, the UK system is based on the idea of individual responsibility, and therefore the state is not very generous in paying benefits. The result is a higher percentage compensation ratio when paying compensation of wages and sickness benefits to the current salary of an individual in the Czech Republic and Sweden. These countries are able to compensate for a lost income of an individual to a greater extent. Thanks to the low support from the state and the employer in the UK is individual well-being endangered.
