Srovnání dopadů vládních intervencí na trh práce v ČR během finanční krize a pandemie COVID-19

This bachelor thesis compares the impact of government interventions on the development of the labor market in the Czech Republic during two major economic crises, namely the financial crisis of 2008–2010 and the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020˗2022. The aim is to determine how the government measures affected labor market developments and how the governments' approaches have differed in these different economic situations. The theoretical framework provides an overview of basic concepts, relevant economic theories, and government interventions in both crisis periods. The practical part is devoted to quantitative research based on descriptive, trend, and regression analysis using data from public databases. The results show that government interventions had different impacts on the labor market, with the effectiveness of the measures depending on the nature of the crisis and the extent of the interventions. The most significant positive impact on employment was found in spending on active employment policy. The conclusions of the thesis may help in the creation of more effective employment policy in times of crisis.
