Work is one of the human’s most important activity, since it ensures, since it provides economic security and a decent life. The problem of segmentation or dualism on the market causes inequalities among employees particularly at the level of labor protection of workers in various forms of employment. Employees in non-standard, flexible or precarious forms of employment are placed in an uncertain position, with a weaker employment status and with persistent pressure of social dumping.
With the help of the descriptive method, the analysis of different sources and the compilation method, the Master’s thesis presents facts, normative regulation measures and legal aspects of occupation. In addition to the stated methods, the legal aspect, statistical data and practice from the field of apprenticeship in Austria, Germany and Switzerland are also presented with the comparative method.
The analysis of the apprenticeship system in Austria, Germany and Switzerland showed that the attractiveness of programs, constant coordination and adaptation of programs according to the needs of the labour market are the most important for successful functioning of the system. The analysis of the comparison with the stated countries showed that the apprenticeship system is attractive precisely due to the flexibility of programs, innovativeness and successful cooperation with employers.
The Master’s thesis is useful for the general public as well as for professionals, since it presents deficiencies and suggestions for the improvement of the internal legislation in the field of occupation and work of posted workers and at the time it draws attention to possible problems in the reintroduction of the apprenticeship system.
