The Czechoslovakian economy and standard of living of the population in Czechoslovakia in the 70's and 80's of the last century, can be evaluated, in comparison with the developed countries of the former Western World, as lagging behind. However, in this comparison, has to be taken into account the different political systems of each country. The bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of living standards of citizens in selected regions of Czechoslovakia and the subsequent comparison of this two selected areas. The theoretical part includes not only an introduction into the issue of standard of living, but also the general outline of the political and economic situation in the former Czechoslovakia. Based on empirical research, the thesis is trying to find meaningful data on this issue. A comparison of expenditures and incomes of households, availability of medical and social services, equipment or free time spending -- this all is included in this research, which first analyzes the data in this two regions, which is beeing comparing in the last part. The specified hypothesis, that residents of the North Moravia region had a comparable, if not higher standard of living, than in Prague, thanks to at that time very supported steel industry, was in the framework of certain investigated factors partly confirmed. A particularly due to higher total industrial employment and the associated higher wages in this sector. The citizens of the North Moravia region had better results in the context of household equipment too. On the other hand, the people of Prague had better conditions in the availability of health and social services and richer leisure activities in the field of cultural life.
