Sykáčková, Petra ; Fialová, Ludmila (advisor) ; Kurtinová, Olga (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyze mortality in Bohemia according to regions in 1881 and to find possible differences of the mortality level. The analysis of mortality is based on results of abridged life tables computed for both sexes within ten regions defined to approximately correspond to nowadays regions. Results of infant mortality and standardized crude death rate were used as well. The explanation of differences in the level of mortality is based on current economic and social situation of 1881 within each area. These areas were significantly different from each other. The 1881 belongs to the first phase of the demographic transition, in which mortality was not marked by high volatility anymore, but at the same time the level of mortality was not significantly reduced. The first phase of the industrial revolution was already completed, that affected also other aspects of human life and these aspects influenced the level of mortality.
