Hašek, Oldřich ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Kurkin, Roman (referee)
Determinants of regional differentiation in fertility in the EU Abstract Main goal of this thesis is to describe and analyze regional fertility determinants in the countries of the European Union. These determinants are based on many indicators which were chosen from a selected recherché of a professional literature. Descriptive statistic methods, correlation analysis, principal component analysis were used to achieve this goal and finally cluster analysis was used to integrate gathered data. Theoretical part of thesis is supported also with discussion from various literature sources about fertility and factor typology. In the analysis part the maps of clusters, tables which characterized strength and influence of different factors to these clusters were used; also appropriate comparative tables of descriptive statistics are used to support the analysis. From the thesis finding it can be seemed major regional impact specifications of each factor to a level of fertility and fulfilling specific geographical-cultural stereotypes in each regionalization. It is clear, that there is no universal value of an index with predetermined impact to a level of fertility, always is important the complex view of a specific area of an issue.

Jániš, Petr ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Hašek, Oldřich (referee)
Analysis of age structure of Premier League players Abstract The aim of this thesis is to describe the age structure of players in the Premier League. There were more than 14,000 observations from the 1992/93 season to the 2017/18 season in the dataset. Given that sport demography is rather a marginal theme of demography, this sub discipline of demography is presented in the theoretical framework. Other literature deals with the top age of footballers beginning football in England, including modern history since 1992/93. In the analytical part is used descriptive statistics, one-sample t-test and ANOVA. In addition to the overall age structure analysis, was also examined the age structure of domestic players and foreigners. The work showed that the weighted average age of all players in each Premier League season is significantly different from the theoretical one. In addition, foreigners are older than domestic players. Finding generations of football players is an important discovery. Key words: sport demography, age structure, Premier League

Regional differentiation of fertility in the Visegrád Four countries at NUTS 2 level in the period 1993-2016
Vachuška, Jakub ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Hašek, Oldřich (referee)
Regional differentiation of fertility in the Visegrád Four countries at NUTS 2 level in the period 1993-2016 Abstract Bachelor's thesis deals with the regional differentiation of selected fertility characteristics in the Visegrad Four countries between 1993 and 2016. Part of the thesis is dedicated to discussing reproductive behaviour changes in former socialist countries which started in the 1990s. The thresis puts an emphasis on the clarification of the causes of these changes, with the second demographic transition and economic changes mainly discussed. The section analysing regional differentiation of fertility is conducted at NUTS 0 level for single years and at NUTS 2 level using eight three-year periods. Regional differentiation of the rate, timing and age structure of fertility is analysed. During most of the period examined, convergence of the rate and timing of fertility occurred. Some regions as regions of capital cities were distinguished by different fertility characteristics. During the analysed period there is a noticeable significant shift in fertility age structure towards higher ages in all regions, and this gradually affected fertility rate in all of them. Keywords: regional differentiation, fertility, Visegrad Group, rate, timing

Impact of EU enlargement on basic demographic indicators
Hašek, Oldřich ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Kurtinová, Olga (referee)
Impact of EU enlargement on basic demographic indicators Abstract The main aim of this thesis is to describe and analyze the influence of each enlargement of the European Union for selected basic demographic indicators calculated over the entire European Union between 1960 and 2010. For this purpose selected indicators are total fertility, infant mortality and life expectancy at birth for men and women. The work is based on the confrontation generated test hypotheses and the results of visual analysis and descriptive statistics. The theoretical basis for creating test hypotheses about the influence of enlargement is mainly laid in the text outlined the historical development of indicators and their calculation for the four geopolitical regions (North, East, West, South), followed by the use of cartograms depicting the parametric values for individual states in the extension. The results of this analysis show that the the major impact of EU enlargement on selected demographic indicators is limited to the period after enlargement in 2004, less significant effects are often seen for other extensions.
