In the last few years, there has been a significant increase in expenditure on primary education in the Czech Republic, where they account for about 10% of all government expenditures. The aim of this paper is to analyze whether this increase in expenditure on education and raising the salaries of teachers depends on the economic situation and selected macroeconomic indicators, or whether this increase is independent of these indicators. In the context of the development of monitored indicators since 2011, it has been found that the increase in total expenditure on primary education is due to a combination of the growth of the number of teachers and their salaries and the economic situation (GDP) is virtually independent. It should be pointed out again that increasing expenditure on education without changing the quality of teaching is only a consumer expenditure and not an investment that increases the added value of young people on the labor market. Therefore, it is necessary to appeal to the overall change of the system and increase the qualifications of teachers who will transmit information and knowledge in a way that future generations will appreciate.
The dynamic development of today's world is the cause of many changes in the functioning of society as a whole. The covid-19 pandemic affected virtually every country in the world, and related government action resulted in an economic downturn and disruption of supply chains. The economic situation and the decline in living standards have led to an increase in social spending. However, the social system and implemented government measures may not always respond effectively to current developments. The reason may be not only the administrative and bureaucratic burden, but also the time lag in the effects of these measures, or their poor focus. This paper focuses on the development of paid benefits for material needs in the Czech Republic -these benefits are an example of social support for the population who is at risk of poverty or social exclusion the most. This paper aims to analyze the development of the volume of benefits paid for material needs in the Czech Republic in the context of the development of people living below the poverty line in the period from 2016 to 2021. It was found that the volume of benefits paid for material needs does not affect the proportion of people at risk of poverty. Higher social support during this period did not lead to a reduction in the proportion of people at risk of poverty.
