Systémy sociálního zabezpečení ve vybraných státech EU

The thesis deals with the topic of social security in selected EU member states and their comparison. The thesis analyzes social systems in the Czech Republic, Germany and Denmark. These countries were chosen with regard to their historical context, where the German social system is based on the Bismarckian model and the Danish social system on the Beveridgean model. These theoretical models are analyzed in the first part of the thesis, where their main aspects and differences are described. In the second part of the thesis, the systems are analyzed from today's perspective with regard to the aspects described in previous part. The analysis was performed using a correlation coefficient, which provided information, for example, on the dependence of the amount of contributions to the system and the amount of benefits paid from the system at different wage levels. The outcome of the work is an assessment of which aspects of models are shown in these compared systems. Aspects of the Bismarckian model still predominant in the German system and aspects of the Beveridgean model still predominant in Denmark. The Czech Republic does not have a clear historical basis, but with a slight predominance, more Bismarckian aspects predominate in the system. This understanding and assessment of the individual systems is important, especially in terms of coordination of the social security system in the European Union.
