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.

Bydžovská, Tereza ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Šimková, Martina (referee)
The ageing process of population which is getting more and more important in most of the European countries is closely connected with the decrease of total fertility rate below the level of simple reproduction rate. The aim of this thesis is to compare the development of natality and fertility in selected European countries during the last twenty years focusing on a comparison of similarities and differences in the developments with the development in the Czech Republic. The data used for graphs and calculations are from the Eurostat webpages. For the purpose of the analysis, Europe is divided into the northern, western, southern and eastern areas based on the World Population Data Sheet 2011 publication. The thesis also analyses the rate of abortion which influences the rate of natality, and touches marginally the infant and neonatal mortality which is related to the quality of healthcare. The last chapter deals with a description of the population policy which can influence the fertility. The Countries with a low total fertility rate should focus on this policy. Then a future development of the fertility in the Czech Republic is outlined based on the predictions made by the Czech statistical office and made for Ministry of labour and social affairs.
