Výukové metody
The course consists of lectures and seminars.
Metody hodnocení
Students will write a report, which should be 4-5 A-4 pages, which means about 2000-2500 words, where they present proposals for improving the social policies in the Czech Republic (other countries are possible). Students can write the report in groups of 2 or 3. They will pretend they are presenting their proposals for a Czech prime minister (or the prime minister of another country). Each paper will focus on one area of social policy and since several groups will make suggestions on each area (family policies, labor market, healthcare, care of the elderly).
