Roule, Jakub Vojtěch ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Brázová, Kateřina (referee)
Population development in Sweden and Norway at NUTS 2 regional level between 2000 and 2022 Abstract: This thesis aims to analyse population trends at the level of NUTS 2 regions in Norway and Sweden between 2000 and 2022. Selected basic indicators of age structure, fertility, mortality and migration have been analysed, as well as the development of their regional variability based on available statistical data. Furthermore, the national context and the development of selected demographic indicators at the national level after 1950 were briefly presented in the thesis. The results of the analysis showed the similarity in the levels of most of the indicators studied at the national level, as well as the persistent differences between the more and less urbanized regions and between the northern regions and the remaining regions in both countries. Keywords: population development, regional differentiation, Norway, Sweden, NUTS 2

Ponikelská, Eliška ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Slabá, Jitka (referee)
Regional development of fertility in Italy between 1990-2022 Abstract The work's objective is to examine and characterise the development of fertility in Italy between 1990 and 2022 in terms of the NUTS 1 and NUTS 2 regions. The analysis in the work also addresses possible contributing reasons to changes in fertility intensity over time in different regions. The study examined basic indicators of fertility and timing, such as Total fertility rate, the mother's average age at birth, or age-specific fertility rates, using data from the Italian Statistical Office (ISTAT). based on which it investigates fundamental markers of fertility and timing, such as total fertility rate, the mother's average age at birth, or age-specific fertility rates. A chapter examining the impact of the degree of regional division on the regional differentiation of fertility in Italy supports the analysis. It looks at between and inter-regional differences and how they contribute to the overall variability of fertility in Italy during particular time periods. The research demonstrates that during the observed period, fertility in the regions varied in terms of both intensity and regional differentiation. Key words: Italy, fertility, lowest-low fertility, regions

Relationship between age structure and efficiency of NHL players
Zydroň, Ondřej ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Hanus, Martin (referee)
The main goal of this thesis is to investigate the relationship between age and performance of NHL players during the observed period 2000/01-2021/22. This relationship is described based on player positions and region of origin, while simultaneously tracking changes over the period under review. The sub-goals include monitoring changes in the age structure of players, investigating the so-called relative age effect and evaluating geographical aspects of the NHL. The results of the analysis indicate that in terms of performance, forwards reach their career peak first and goalkeepers last. The career of forwards has a faster rise, but a slower decline, compared to defenders. Elite players at all positions peak later in their careers than the rest of the NHL, and at the same time, they are able to maintain their best performances for longer. Remarkable changes appeared within the age structure, as the representation of older players decreased during the observed period, and on the contrary, the dominance of young players began to increase. In addition, they young players were supposed to transfer the effect of relative age from the youth categories to the NHL. It probably really exists in the league, but it does not affect the performance and length of the players' careers. Geographical aspects can...

Development of regional differentiation of fertility in Czechia at the AD MEP level in years 1996 to 2020
Petrák, Marek ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Slabá, Jitka (referee)
Development of regional differentiation of fertility in Czechia at the AD MEP level in years 1996 to 2020 Abstract The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to evaluate the development of the intensity and timing of fertility in the Czech administrative districts of municipalities with extended jurisdiction (SO ORP) for the period 1996 to 2020. Another goal is the regionalization of these administrative units based on the values of indicators representing fertility. The first part of the thesis provides a summary of the most important theoretical starting points for the study of fertility in connection with the significant changes in reproductive behavior that took place in the territory of the Czech Republic after 1989. The practical part further focuses on the analysis of the regional development of fertility intensity using the indicator of total fertility and the timing of childbirth using the indicator of average age at birth of the child. The development of regional differentiation is further statistically described using the basic indicators of descriptive statistics and visualized using cartographic means of expression. The analytical part of the work revealed that there is indeed a differentiation in the intensity of fertility and its timing, not only regionally, but also over time. Keywords: fertility,...

Fertility in Czechia within the polarity of urban vs. rural areas in 1996-2020
Veselá, Tereza ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Havelková, Tereza (referee)
Fertility in Czechia within the polarity of urban vs. rural areas in 1996-2020 Abstract The intensity and timing of fertility have undergone significant development since the early 1990s in Czechia, which can be observed through several demographic indicators of fertility. This bachelor's thesis analyses the difference in the development of fertility intensity and timing between urban and rural municipalities for the entire Czechia and individual districts separately since 1996 to 2020. The theoretical part of the thesis addresses regional differentiation of fertility, fertility trends in the Czechia since the 1990s, and the definition of the concepts of urban and rural areas, based on which the municipalities of the Czechia are divided in the analytical part of the thesis. The aim of this study is to compare the fertility trends between urban and rural areas and identify regions with same or similar values of the resulting demographic indicators. In the analytical part of the thesis, further analysis is conducted on the differences in intensity and timing of fertility for each selected fertility indicator separately, which shows the differentiation of the studied urban and rural dichotomy. Key words: intensity and timing of fertility, urban area, rural area, total fertility rate, mean age of women at birth...

Comparison of the development of selected demographic indicators in Southern European countries at the beginning of the 21st century
Stryka, Václav ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Kurtinová, Olga (referee)
Comparison of the development of selected demographic indicators in the Southern European countries at the beginning of the 21st century Abstract The main aim of this bachelor's thesis is the comparison of selected demographic indicators in the countries of Southern Europe during the years 2000-2021. Among these countries, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece were chosen. The thesis provides a basic socio-economic analysis of the mentioned countries, their population structure and the development of basic indicators of natural reproduction under the influence of the components of fertility, mortality and migration. Based on the analysis of demographic processes, a hypothesis was raised about the fundamental influence of immigration on population growth. Two crisis periods were also marked out, which affected all states, and the change in the current trend of the development of fertility and mortality indicators was monitored. The second hypothesis assumes the greatest change in fertility indicators during the economic crisis and mortality indicators during the epidemiological crisis. The results of the first analysis reveal that immigration currently determines the development of the total population increase. The second hypothesis is also confirmed, the conclusion of the second analysis clarifies the direct...

Changes in fertility characteristics and population structures in Southern and Eastern Europe: interrelationships and contexts
Kahoun, Lukáš ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Kurtinová, Olga (referee)
Changes in fertility characteristics and population structures in Southern and Eastern Europe: interrelationships and contexts Abstract There were significant changes in fertility characteristics and population structures between 1970 and 2020 in both Southern and Eastern Europe. This transition is associated with the concept of the second demographic transition by some authors. An unconventional methodology is used for its research in this thesis. Two three-dimensional scatter plots, which at the same time form unit cubes, are constructed using three selected indicators of both changes (fertility and structures). The distance between individual observations by examined years is interpreted as the dynamics of the transition of the given decades. The dynamics values from both scatter plots are then analyzed and compared with the others. The results show that changes between fertility characteristics and population structures are related to a certain extent, but the observed differences between regions or the specifics of some states complicate the generalization of this relationship. These conclusions also agree with the literature published so far. Key words: fertility, population structures, second demographic transition, data visualization, three-dimensional scatter plot Character count: 149 752

Application of prospective indicators of demographic ageing at the district level in Czechia
Čábela, Filip ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Rychtaříková, Jitka (referee)
Application of prospective indicators of demographic ageing at the district level in Czechia Abstract The objective of this study is to analyze differences in the level of demographic ageing using prospective indicators at the LAU 1 level of the regions (districts) of Czechia in the periods 2006-2010, 2015-2019 and 2017-2021. The second objective is to compare the results of the analysis of prospective indicators with the results of a retrospective approach and to compare the differences between individual periods. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be stated that the districts Praha-západ and Praha-východ are among the youngest LAU 1 regions in Czechia. The most affected by demographic aging are the districts of the Ústecký kraj (e.g. Most, Teplice), as well as the districts Bruntál, Jeseník and Sokolov. For almost all LAU 1 regions, the values of prospective indicators increased between individual periods (with the exception of constant prospective age). The highest differences between the values of prospective and retrospective indicators are achieved by the districts in the period 2015-2019. The values of the indicators of both approaches are most similar in the districts of the Ústecký kraj, and differ the most in "urban" districts. The effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the values of...

Population development of district towns in the South Bohemian Region
Votavová, Kateřina ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Brázová, Kateřina (referee)
Population development of district towns in the South Bohemian Region Abstract The aim of the thesis is to analyse and describe the population development in the seven largest cities of the South Bohemia Region in the period 1997-2021. The thesis draws on individual and anonymised data to analyse the basic demographic indicators of fertility, mortality and migration. The work compares the cities with each other as well as compares the development with the national average. Among other things, the thesis examines the development documents of cities, especially their efforts to address demographic issues. Moreover, the analysis shows that most cities, with the exception of Písek, tend to lose population, but with different intensity and timing. In all cities fertility intensity and mortality evolve similarly with minimal differences. Finally, the city management is currently trying to address demographic issues in most cities. Keywords: population development, towns, fertility, mortality, migration
