Boušová, Marie ; Fialová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Bartoňová, Dagmar (referee)
Changes in the marital status in the age group from 15 to 59 years in the Czech Republic after 1930 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to analyze the changes in population structure according to the individual marital statuses. For this analysis sex-specific and age-specific nuptuality rates and multistate life tables were use, in order to be able to describe transitions between the individual marital statuses. In the first part of this thesis the data sources and the methods of creating the transversal increment- decrement life tables were described. Following chapters deal with the historical development of the Czech Republic population since the year 1930 and the trends of nuptuality, divorce and mortality. Second part is dedicated to the analysis of the transitions between the individual marital statuses. The findings of this thesis conclude that people in the individual marital states tend to react similarly to the historical events in Czech Republic, unless some events are purposefully aiming to influence only a part of the population. Key words: nuptuality rate, divorce rate, mortality rate, marital status, multistate demography, transversal increment-decrement life tables, Czech Republic

Švástová, Lada ; Bartoňová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Kocourková, Jiřina (referee)
Structural population changes according to census data 1930-2001 within the fertility development context Abstract The objective of this study is to describe and evaluate the basic structural population changes in the Czech Republic in years 1930-2001. The age, sex and marital status structures are ranked among the demographic structures. In the first part, the fertility development is suggested. The next part describes the main trends of sex and age structures, especially points to the contemporary phenomenon of demographic aging. The marital status structural changes are the object of the last chapter. The influence of fertility is projected on the mentioned demographic structures. Moreover, the influence of nuptiality, divorce rate and mortality is projected on the marital status structure. Keywords: demographic structure, age, sex, marital status, fertility, demographic aging, census

Inclusion of Cohabitation in the Relationship between Marital Status and Mortality
Linhartová, Aneta ; Pechholdová, Markéta (advisor) ; Nývlt, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis elaborates on the previously described and generally accepted relationship between marital status and mortality. Into this relationship, it is trying to include cohabitations, which responds to the latest developments in the structure of households in the Czech Republic. The thesis aims to include cohabitations within the context of this proven relationship and to determine at what level is the mortality of cohabitants compared to married couples or people without a partner. The question is whether it is possible to include cohabitations and marriages on the same level or whether each of these groups keeps its specifics, which is also transmitted to mortality. Life tables according to marital status and dependency analysis of time series were used to address this issue. The research of the nature of cohabitation in the Czech society is also an essential part of the thesis and helps to further illustrate the findings obtained by these methods. Hypotheses that are solved using these methods are based on the assumption that cohabitants are the part of the category of single people as well and if they show lower mortality rates than people without a partner, then their increasing representation accelerates growth in life expectancy compared to married couples, and eventually it accelerates a decline in mortality. The results tend to show that the mortality of cohabitants is higher than that of people without a partner, but lower compared to married couples. However, it is necessary to face the lack of data and work on the design of better indicators. It means that this thesis opens up the area especially for Czech society and presents perspectives that research of this issue offers.

Marital status as a differentiating factor in demographic behavior
Nedomová, Radka ; Pechholdová, Markéta (advisor) ; Nývlt, Ondřej (referee)
Diploma thesis explores the diversity of demographic behavior depending on marital status and is aimed at summarizing the effect of marital status on demographic behavior as a whole. The first phase deals with the concepts of impact of marital status on demographic behavior, explains the theory of selection and causality and outlines the historical development of nuptiality and divorce by using basic indicators. The practical part is based on the results of Population and Housing Censuses during the period 1961-2011 and compares the changes in the structure of the Czech population by sex, age and marital status between censuses. Emphasis is placed on the period after 1990. Furthermore, in separate chapters is mapped out how marital status affects demographic processes of fertility, abortion, nuptiality and mortality. In the case of fertility exploration is emphasized increasing extramarital fertility, as more and more children are born outside marriage, especially to single mothers. By using age-specific and standardized rates are analyzed changes in the development of individual demographic processes between censuses for all categories of marital status. Standardization of mortality for the years 1961, 1970 and 1980 is made on the basis of the formation of shortened life tables and the subsequent modeling of mortality at higher ages. In connection of changing structure of the population by marital status, as the proportion of unmarried and divorced people is growing and the share of people living in a marriage is decreasing, is judged attitude of the Czech public toward marriage and family according to surveys results available.

Social environement as a factor influencing availability of information about pregnancy and childbirth
MIKOVÁ, Radka
This bachelor work investigates the problems of influence of social environment on the awareness of pregnancy and birth. The primary aim of this work is to map out the demand for information, its availability and the most commonly used resources of information. The next aim is to analyse the obtained data from the perspective of age, education and marital status. The results of the research showed a significant influence of social environment on awareness of pregnancy and birth. The relationship of age, education and marital status on the level of awareness has been proven. Information related to child birth is greatly available. This is to a great extent also thanks to media that balance out the limited demand for information in certain age and education categories.
