The current concern about the sustainability of national social systems in the context of population aging are obviously reasonable, but these concerns are based on the standard characteristics of the age structure, which often use a fixed age of entry into the final stage of life. However, with the lengthening of human life the natural boundaries of old age changes. Alternative indicators on the basis of the concept of prospective age do not use the number of years a person has already lived, but on the number of years that a person will probably live. Paper compares the development of standard and alternative indicators in the Czech Republic, Sweden and Germany in the years 2000-2013 and focuses also on regional differentiation at the NUTS2 level of selected regions in northern, western, eastern and southern...

Accessibility of health care in the Czech Republic according to the geodemographic characteristics of the population Abstract Public healthcare is a subject that affects us all. The health and medical status of the population is a key measure of how advanced a country is. That is why healthcare issues attract so much debate. A number of factors affect the health of a nation. On one hand there are factors such as how individuals look after their health. Dietary habits, sufficient physical exercise and preventive care are all factors that the individual has control over. On the other hand, however, there are determinants affecting whether healthcare take-up is adequate. The cost of providing healthcare and medical equipment together with healthcare accessibility - the topic of this thesis - are factors affecting the population's health. It is the duty of all public healthcare stakeholders to limit the impact of these determiners. One of the main barriers to healthcare take-up is accessibility. On 1 January 2013 government decree no. 307/2012 Coll. came into effect quantifying healthcare accessibility for the first time. This law stipulates the local and travel time accessibility that ensures accessibility depending on type of healthcare on the basis of an upper travel time limit or waiting period....

ŠÍDLOVÁ KUNSTOVÁ, Natálie
Bachelor thesis is focused on the issue of capacity in retirement homes in South Bohemian Region. The aim is not only to analyze the current state, but also the possibility of future development of capacity in these facilities. The reason for the necessity of retirement homes and their sufficient capacity for the future is the main prerequisite of constantly lengthening of life expectancy and the corresponding increase of number but also the proportion of seniors in the total population. The theoretical introduction is devoted to define the basic concepts of age and aging. Attention is also focused on individual theories of aging, age and periodicity of old age. Marginally are also mentioned symptoms of age. There is also described the characteristic of retirement homes such as social services, including basic activities. With the regard to the focus of the work, there are presented retirement homes in South Bohemian Region and current and future trends of population development in this region. The analytical part is realized by quantitative research, which was conducted in two directions questioning retirement homes by a questionnaire survey, supplemented by telephone interviews and searching for data from publicly available publications, and by constructing model projections, which point to the possible impact of demographic aging on the current capacity of retirement homes. The sample consisted of 35 retirement homes in South Bohemian Region, the success of the cooperation was about 66 %. The results were clearly tabulated, enhanced with images and conclusions based on information obtained through the survey and model projections, analyzed in detail in the subsequent discussion. It can be assumed that the objective of the present study were met and hypotheses confirmed.

The Impact of the Aging Population on the Health Care Financing
Schejbal, Radek ; Fiala, Tomáš (advisor) ; Miskolczi, Martina (referee)
The population ageing is a phenomenon that appears sooner or later in any population. In the Czech Republic this process has intensively been going on since the end of the last century and it will continue in this century. My thesis reveals possible impacts of this development on services providing health care. It is estimated that the changing demographic structure of the population in the Czech Republic will significantly affect the revenues and the expenses of health insurance companies. These expenses would not be financially sustainable with this development and the present adjustment of the system. In my thesis I describe the features of the population ageing in the Czech Republic in the recent period following the data of the Czech Statistical Office. I also describe the development of this ageing till the end of the 21st century. Furthermore, I describe health care services, health care availability and I briefly analyze the health condition of the population. The simulation financial development of the health insurance system, on the basis of the open-access data from the ÚZIS (The Institute of Health Information and Statistics of the Czech Republic) and ČSÚ (The Czech Statistical Office), estimates future financial difficulties. Finally, I list possible precautions that might prevent these financial difficulties.
