Lorencová, Šárka ; Langhamrová, Jana (advisor) ; Fiala, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to analyze mortality in the Czech Republic and compare it with mortality in the European Union and some european countries. This study was based on few mortality indicators, mostly on the life expectancy at birth. Life tables for the European Union and for the Czech Republic were designed for this purpose, using data from Eurostat and Czech Statistical Office. Life expectancy at birth was used for the analysis of mortality development in the Czech Republic from 1990's until now, where the subject of research was the time series of life expectancy at birth in period 1990-2014 for men and women. Thesis is also devoted to a comparation of mortality in the Czech Republic and three european countries from quite a different point of view. The aim of this analysis is to discover whether the mortality of some countries is influenced by the nearby sea. Life expectancy at birth was the main used indicator again together with life expectancy at the age of 65 years. Italy, Greece and Croatia were the analysed countries. Another part of this thesis is dealing with the idea of possible influence of accession to the European Union on the mortality in the Czech Republic. Infant mortality time series were used for this analysis, as well as time series of life expectancy at birth for men and women. The development of these indicators was analysed in graphs and with the help of time series characteristics. There is also a description of possible future development of Czech Republic's mortality in this thesis, based on the projection of mortality from Eurostat database - the main scenario and the higher life expectancy variant. The development of each mortality indicator is illustrated by a number of graphs and some tables. This thesis also includes methodical instructions for calculation of mortality rates, time series characteristics and detailed decsription of life table designing.
