Evolution and mutual relations between demographic indicators
Černý, Andrej ; Löster, Tomáš (advisor) ; Langhamrová, Jitka (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis focuses on the analysis and evolution of demographic indicators through world's regions and states. It searches for a relation between demographic indicators and finds connections between economical, political and demographics evolution. The first part of the thesis defines the demographic indicators and shows the evolution from the period 1960-2008. Especially the evolution of the Czech Republic and those states where changes were the greatest in the mentioned period is shown there. The second part of the thesis focuses on the analysis of the economical and medical factors that influence demographic indicators. The purpose is to quantify this influence and measure its intensity. For this purpose regression analysis and analysis of variance is used. The biggest reduction in mortality rate was in Yemen in the mentioned period, on the other hand the biggest increase was noted in Ukraine. The smallest values of the infant mortality rate are detected in Scandinavia which positively influences the life expectancy at birth in these states. Infant mortality rate dropped most in the states of Southern Europe and Egypt while in Zimbabwe and Democratic Republic of the Congo the improvement was the smallest. The evolution of these indicators dramatically influenced life expectancy at birth in these particular states. The main factors that influence life expectancy at birth include GDP per capita in PPP, the number of physicians, health expenditure, alcohol consumption and immunization.

To enforce the problem I also put forward impact of the world financial crisis on the situation in Europe with a view to the most troubled states. With the following introduction of particular models of the social policy together with concrete states, where the models are applied, I will try to find the most effective model. At the same time I will assess if it is possible to use the model in the whole EU.

One section is dedicated to the suburbanization and the trends related to this process in the Czech Republic.

EVALUATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES
Brabcová, Petra ; Löster, Tomáš (advisor) ; Vltavská, Kristýna (referee)
This diploma work describes the classification of the member states of the European Union according to the demographic indicators. It evaluates development in the individual states by absolute demographic indicators too. In the year 2008 less children were born and less people were died in the most of the member states than the year 1993. The hope of the end of life grows up in all contries. Relative demographic indicators are used in the cluster analysis for diversification of rhe states into certain groups in accordance with their similarity. Two methods are used in this work --of the farthest neighbour and the Ward method (the hierarchical clustering method), the both with the Euclid distance. The hierarchical method of the farthest neighbour divided fifteen states into the four clusters in 1995, twenty-five states into the six clusters in 2004 and twenty-seven states into the six clusters in 2007. The Ward method divided these states into the three clusters in 1995, into the six clusters in 2004 and into the three clusters in 2007.

The impact of migration on social and economic development of the European Union
Kroftová, Tereza ; Macháček, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Kadeřábková, Jaroslava (referee)
The goal of this diploma thesis is to describe the tendency of European Union migration. First of all, I define the basic concepts relating to migration and the legislation. I focus on economic, political, social and demographic consequences of the spatial distribution of population. In these consequences, I concern with the impacts on economic variables in different countries of European Union. I will try to explain the impact of migration, advantages or disadvantages and possible solution of this issue. Finally, I refer to the issue of migration in terms of political and economic interest of migrants, such as economic instability and change of living standards, rapid demographic growth, war, religious and ethnic conflicts and environmental degradation.
