The bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the services sector in the Czech Republic in 2020 and 2021. The thesis tries to evaluate the hypothesis as amended: „The services sector was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic the most of all sectors of the economy.“ The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the approximation of definitions of services from the perspective of various authors, the characteristics of service providers and classification of services in terms of theoretical approach, and especially the classification used in practice according to the affiliation of economic activities. The following is an approach to selected macroeconomic concepts and their interrelationships. The theoretical part of the thesis concludes with a short treatise in the medical field to clarify the most commonly used terms associated with this pandemic. The practical part provides a selected overview of government measures that had an impact on the deteriorating economic situation in the Czech Republic. The following is an analysis of the trend in sales in services, GDP and government debt in 2010-2021 to illustrate the impact of the pandemic. Furthermore, in this part of the work is analyzed in detail each of the sections of services, which is included in the macroeconomic indicators with a subsequent comparison of these sections. At the end of the practical part, an analysis is performed with a subsequent comparison of all sectors of the national economy. Given the decline in employment and the decline in sales in the services sector compared to other sectors, the hypothesis could be described as verified.
