Pištorová, Markéta ; Rychtaříková, Jitka (advisor) ; Kraus, Jaroslav (referee)
Fertility analysis in the Czech Republic of 2011 census data Abstract The aim of this thesis is to describe the development of fertility in cohort perspective based on census data, population and housing census was held in the Czech Republic March 26, 2011. An integral part of the analysis is differential fertility which focuses on women's fertility differences depending on marital status, educational attainment, economic activity and religious belief. The demographic analyses were used as the methods of the thesis, namely the completed fertility rate (average number of live births per woman of one generation at the end of her reproductive period), order-specific completed fertility rate and the parity progression ration (the probability that a woman with i children will have i + 1 children). The decline of completed fertility rate seems to be a permanent phenomenon and traditional determinants of fertility still have some influence. A growing proportion of children are born to single mothers. There is an increasing proportion of university graduates, whose completed fertility rate is the lowest among educational categories. Women claiming to religious beliefs, or the Roman Catholic Church, have the highest value of the completed fertility rate of all categories according to religious beliefs. Keywords:...

Malárik, Michal ; Burcin, Boris (advisor) ; Kraus, Jaroslav (referee)
Comparative analysis of mortality intensity by selected causes of death in the Czech Republic and Slovakia Abstract The aim of study is to review differences in changes in mortality rates of selected cancer types between Czech and Slovak Republic for 1996-2013. Analysis describes also spatial distribution of selected cancer mortality rates on county-level of both states. This study uses demographic and statistical analysis methods. During the period 1996-2013 increased mortality rate in Czech Republic only for lung cancer among women. Other cancers among both sexes showed decreases in mortality. On the other hand, mortality due to lung cancer among men in Slovak Republic was the only decrease described during the study period in Slovakia. Spatial analysis detected significant clustering of higher mortality rates for lung cancer, breast cancer and colorectal cancer in both republics. This thesis can be used to identify regions, where is needed better healthcare with a priority of preventive action, and it also can be helpful with regional planning or as an origin for deeper analysis. Keywords: mortality, spatial analysis, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, Czech Republic, Slovakia

Vyplel, Dan ; Rychtaříková, Jitka (advisor) ; Kraus, Jaroslav (referee)
Nuptiality in the Czech Republic: cross-sectional and cohort view Abstract The objective of this study is to describe the development of primo-nuptiality in the Czech Republic from 1961 to 2014 using primo-nuptiality life tables. These tables have been calculated to such an extent with the use of the same methodology for the first time and thus their complete mutual comparability is guaranteed. For each period there are selected years, which are then in detail examined primarily in terms of intensity and timing of first marriages. As for illustration there are also mentioned external socioeconomic factors of the given time period, which has been affecting the discussed indicators. The last chapter of the study adresses a cohort view on primo-nuptiality of specific birth cohorts. The development of the cohort primo-nuptiality quantum by age and respective differences are investigated. Keywords: primo-nuptiality, nuptial, conjugation of nuptiality, marriage, cross-sectional, cohort, primo-nuptiality life tables, Czech Republic

Nerušilová, Hana ; Rychtaříková, Jitka (advisor) ; Kraus, Jaroslav (referee)
Long-Term Care for the Elderly in the Czech Republic and European countries in the context of demographic ageing Abstract Long-term care refers to the range of services required by persons suffering from a reduced degree of functional capacity and who are dependent on help with activities of daily living. These services include personal care as well as medical and social services. LTC could be provided either in institutional settings or at home - by informal (upaid) or formal providers. European Union has declared that LTC represents one of the main challenges connected with the current demographic changes. The main aim of this thesis is to provide a picture of LTC providing across European countries. Special attention was placed on ensuring care for the elderly in Czechia, where ambiguities about responsibilities (which are divided between The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and and The Ministry of Health), financing or even defining the content of this care have recently become quite frequent subjects of public debates. Keywords: demographic ageing, long-term care, health and social services, home care, Czechia, international comparison

Jalovcová, Karolína ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Kraus, Jaroslav (referee)
Demopraphic development of large czech cities in terms of population Abstract The aim of the presented thesis is to describe and evaluate the demographic development of selected Czech cities (Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň, Liberec, Olomouc). The thesis focuses on the period in years 1996-2012. In the theoretical part, the population development of the Czech Republic from the beginning of the 1990's and the changes in the demographic behaviour of residents are described, the impact of the demographic revolution on this evolution is clarified, the criteria for determining large cities in terms of population and their brief socioeconomic characteristics are explained. In the second part, the development of these cities, based on available data, is analysed by chosen demographic indicators and the differences in their development are compared. From the analysis, we can see, that all of the cities develop demographically in a similar way. Only Ostrava and partly Prague vary significantly by its development.

Sex-specific analysis of mortality for selected causes of death in the Czech Republic since 1994 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to evaluate and analyze the differences in mortality between men and women within those groups of causes of death, which had the highest standardized mortality rates differences between men and women in the Czech Republic from 1994 to 2012. Main causes of death counted among these groups are neoplasms, circulatory system diseases and external causes of death. Studied period covers the existence of independent Czech Republic, but with the exclusion of the year 1993 due to changes in the International Classification of Diseases in 1994. This thesis also focuses on risk factors and prevention of considered groups of causes of death, again primarily with regard to gender differences. Indicators used for this purposes consist of standardized mortality rate, the age-specific probability of death from a given cause, temporary life expectancy and decomposition of the difference of temporary life expectancy between men and women by age groups. The probability of death and life expectancy are calculated from abbreviated life tables for a given group of causes of death separately for men and women.

Kudláček, František ; Šídlo, Luděk (advisor) ; Kraus, Jaroslav (referee)
Population development of NUTS 2 regions in countries of the Benelux Abstract The main objective of this thesis is to analyse the population development of NUTS 2 regions in countries of Benelux in the period between 1990 and 2010. The analysis is based on monitoring of development selected indicators of age structure, mortality and fertility. The development of variability of these indicators is also observed. The goal of this study is also to find groups of NUTS 2 regions similar in values of selected demographic variables. Borders of these groups of regions are compared with national and cultural borders. For this purpose, the cluster analysis was conducted for input values of the selected variables at the beginning and at the end of the analysed period. A part of this work is devoted to outline the main characteristics of population development of the Benelux countries in the period between 1950 and 2010. Keywords: Population development, NUTS 2, the Benelux, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, cluster analysis, regional differentiation
