The Development of Mortality in the Czech Republic and Neighboring European Countries
Matějková, Karolína ; Dotlačilová, Petra (advisor) ; Fučíková, Simona (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze the development of mortality in the Czech Republic and to compare it with development in neighboring countries during period 1960-2012. The first part characterizes basic mortality indicators and describes an algorithm for calculating life tables. The life tables is calculated in the second part based on data from EUROSTAT and the Human Mortality Database. The thesis is devoted to a detailed analysis of infant mortality and its effect on life expectancy. This thesis is also focused on the life expectancy paradox. In the final part of the thesis life expactancy, median length of life and normal age of death are compared.

Ageing of population in countries of the Visegrad Group
Vránová, Michaela ; Cséfalvaiová, Kornélia (advisor) ; Fučíková, Simona (referee)
The Bachelor thesis deals with ageing of population in countries of the Visegrad Group. The thesis is divided into three chapters. In the first one, are introduced general indicators and terms connected with ageing of population. The second chapter includes graphs which are related to life expectancy and healthy life expectancy in the countries of the Visegrad Group. Further there are graphically illustrated demographic indicators related to ageing of population -- ageing index, dependency ratios, economic dependency ratio and average age. The third and final chapter deals wih population ageing, pension schemes in the countries given and also contains a proposal for possible modification of pension schemes. The goal of this thesis is a description and comparison of ageing in the countires of the Visegrad Group by the demographic indicators and also a suggestion of a possible solution in terms of pension schemes. All necessary data for calculation and graph creation were have been taken from the Eurostat database.

The reasons for human life prolonging comparing the regions of the Czech republic
Šimonková, Karolína ; Šimpach, Ondřej (advisor) ; Cséfalvaiová, Kornélia (referee)
The thesis discusses the reasons for human life prolonging and studies diseases mortality evolution from 1994 to 2012. The paper focuses on possible reasons for increasing or decreasing of specific diseases mortality. The diseases are examined in all individual Czech regions. The changes of average human age are calculated by using absolute growth rates, both for the Czech Republic and for each Czech region in the period 1994 to 2012. The thesis also ascertains the degree of dependence between population living standards and the average age at death. Living standard is evaluated according to socioeconomic aspects.

The development of mortality in Western European countries and former Eastern Bloc countries
Zahrádková, Dita ; Dotlačilová, Petra (advisor) ; Fučíková, Simona (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyse and compare the development of mortality in Western European countries and former Eastern Bloc countries from 1960 to 2013. The theoretical part describes basic indicators of mortality and algorithm for calculation of complete life tables. Age-specific death rates which are part of the life tables were equalized by using moving averages and Gompertz-Makeham function. The practical part of this thesis focuses on comparing selected countries in terms of development of infant mortality rate without distinction of sex. However, the development of infant mortality rate is also traced separately for boys and for girls here thanks to which we can watch changes in the trend of male's excess mortality. This thesis also includes comparison of life expectancy development at birth and life expectancy at higher ages in individual countries and finds out the influence of the communist regime on selected demographic indicators.

Healthy life expectancy
Bobeková, Simona ; Langhamrová, Jitka (advisor) ; Cséfalvaiová, Kornélia (referee)
The thesis is intented to explain the concept of healthy life expectancy and the analysis of this indicator. In the first chapter, there is focus on clarification of terms needed to understand the meaning of the healthy life expectancy and the methods of calculating this indicator. In the second chapter, there is attention is paid to development of healthy life expectancy in the Czech Republic and selected European countries. The aim of this work is also to compare healthy life expectancy to life expectancy and to compare differences in results between males and females. By constructing graphs and tables, conclusion of the work is that healthy life expectancy and life expectancy are extending, women in Czech Republic have both of these expectancies longer than men, but there are only small differences between healthy life years of men and women.

Health economics: What heals us and what kills us
Janovský, Stanislav ; Houdek, Petr (advisor) ; Misic, Viktorija (referee)
This study deals with the health production function. It analyzes the impact of health care, socioeconomic, lifestyle and environmental factors on the mortality and life expectancy of the population of the Czech Republic. The analysis is made by linear regressions with time series data for the period from 1993 to 2011. Health care is measured by health care expenditures or by non-monetary indicators, the number of doctors and the consumption of pharmaceuticals. The results show that higher health care expenditures increase the mortality and reduce life expectancy. On the other hand higher number of doctors and higher consumption of pharmaceuticals improve the health status of the population. It may indicate inefficiency and corruption in health sector. Important factors that positively influence health are wealth, education and fruit and vegetable consumption, smoking affects health negatively. The results suggest that health care policy should focus not only on effective allocation of health care expenditures but also on lifestyle and socioeconomic status of the population. The limits of this work are short time series which don't allow the use of the lagged explanatory variables.

Development of Life Expectancy in Czech Republic and selected European countries
Bršlíková, Jana ; Miskolczi, Martina (advisor) ; Šimpach, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis presents a comparison of trends in life expectancy in the Czech Republic and selected European countries in the period of 1950 -- 2010 for each gender separately. Comparison between countries is prepared based on data from the Human Mortality Database. Life expectancy is currently still prolonging for each of selected countries this occurs with various intensity. Life expectancy in this work differ sat representatives of post-communist countries, especially by significant long-term stagnation in the 60s -- 80s of 20th century, which gradually contributed to creation of significant differences among those remaining selected countries, where the growth is recorded. These differences, however, are slowly decreasing, as well as the range between genders.

The Aging of European Populations
Pospíchalová, Barbora ; Miskolczi, Martina (advisor) ; Nývlt, Ondřej (referee)
The objective of the thesis is to evaluate process of ageing of European populations that is in process in particular countries differently. Further, the objective is to denote factors which contributed to this development. Thanks to considerable decline of fertility characteristics in the monitored period there has been observed decline for persons under age of 19. Because of that young-age dependency ratio decline in all European regions. At the same time due to the increase of the 65years old and older people there is increase of the old-age dependency ratio. The total dependency ratio has declined and this trend turned up significantly in last few years. In the future there is expected considerable increase the economic strain imposed on the productive people by the non-productive persons. There is significant difference of the life expectancy between European countries. In the near future higher rating growth will be expected in the less developed countries. More developed countries do not have such a big growth potential in this case. At the same time the values of life expectancy at birth are getting closer together between men and women.
