Vliv volebních preferencí na vývoj důvěry v ústavní instituce v čase

This paper presents some findings about time-series evolution of trust in political institutions in the Czech Republic between 1997 and 2009. The analysis deals with two main issues: First, a comparison of time-series of trust in the Government of the Czech Republic, Chamber of Deputies and Senate, and second, a set of multivariate analysis.

Old and New Economic Inequalities: The Czech Case

Under the transformation period, economic inequality is assuming new meanings and accents, and its importance growing. We show recent changes and various facets of inequality as displayed in distributions of earning, household incomes and wealth. In earnings, instead of the system covering the costs of labour force reproduction, human capital is better rewarded, thus, the importance of ownership and job grows. In household income, the „demographic“ pattern is slowly replaced by a market model which strengt…

Zdroje institucionální důvěry v České republice

This article sets out to identify the factors that can help explain trust in selected political institutions in the Czech Republic. The life-time learning model was used as the theoretical framework for this investigation. The results of the analyses showed that the particular level of trust in an institution is influenced more by institutional performance than by the effect of socialization within the predominant political culture, which was not very strong. …

Incomes in Central Europe: Distributions, patterns and perceptions

Comparative documentation on earnings and household incomes is gathered and analyzed to show recent tendencies in distributional patterns in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. No revolutions, but important shifts mostly maintaining differences between countries have occurred since 1989. Inequality rose in both personal and household incomes, and market patterns seem to have developed at the expense of demographic determination of incomes. Whereas recent income mobility in Poland and Hungary has …

The middle class in the Czech reforms: the interplay between policies and social stratification

Following the assumption that the middle class is important in the transition from communism to a democratic market society as its leading actor and guarantor of social integration, this paper presents evidence of the benefits it has gained from economic and social reforms. As these have turned out to be rather modest, it is likely that the middle class will be more reserved in its political support for a rigorous transformation. Special attention is given to the distribution and redistribution of income in wh…

Trends in Czech attitudes toward the market and democracy

The post-communist transitions in Europe are both economic and political reforms. Experiences with the economic reforms and attitudes about them might undermine support for the democratic reforms, a possible contradiction embedded in post-communist transitions. We examined first trends in support for the market and democratic reforms in the Czech Republic with eleven national surveys from 1990 to 1998. We then asked if respondents' economic experiences and their attitudes about the market reforms were assoc…
