Černá, Tereza ; Rychtaříková, Jitka (advisor) ; Kraus, Jaroslav (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to describe mortality in the United States by sex, race and Hispanic origin. The development of indicators of mortality in the period 1933-2014 for the overall population by sex and in 2006-2011 for the Hispanic and non-Hispanic population is examined. The development of mortality is analyzed in terms of life expectancy at birth, infant mortality rate, temporary life expectancy at ages of 1-29 and 30-64 completed years and in terms of life expectancy at age 65. There are also listed the most common causes of death of the individual races and ethnicities. The development of mortality is set in a larger context. Lifestyles and other factors of the various races and ethnicities impact on the differences in the values of survival indicators. Keywords: Mortality in the US, race and ethnicity, the Hispanic population Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Fertility analysis in the Czech Republic of 2011 census data
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:...

Determinants of poverty in the Czech Republic
Chválová, Martina ; Rychtaříková, Jitka (advisor) ; Šustová, Šárka (referee)
DETERMINANTS OF POVERTY IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC Abstract In this thesis we present the determinants and the current state of poverty in the Czech Republic in 2014. We clearly set out the definition of poverty and delimit various concepts of poverty, that is the old and the new concept of poverty, the subjective versus the objective one, the absolute versus the relative concept, as well as the direct and the indirect plus the prescriptive and the consensual poverty. We also introduce various ways to measure poverty. A substantial part of the theoretical section focuses on the introduced methods and definitions of particular indicators (the at risk of poverty rate, the relative median at risk of poverty gap, the Gini coefficient, the income quintile share ratio, the material deprivation rate). We have used the method of logistic regression and the processed data which were gained from the project Životní podmínky 2014 (The Living Conditions 2014) and EU-SILC 2014. At the same time, still in the theoretical part of the thesis, we also dealt with the causes of poverty and the attitudes towards the poor as sociology, psychology and ethics view them. The analysis has proved that, based on equivalised household income, persons living in households in villages with 2 000-4 999 inhabitants are susceptible to poverty...

Panfilova, Kaselina ; Rychtaříková, Jitka (advisor) ; Filasová, Alena (referee)
Fertility analysis by age and birth order in the Russian Federation and the Czech Republic Abstract The thesis examines trends of demographic behaviour in the Russian Federation and the Czech Republic with focusing on fertility patterns. First, a historical view on fertility is presented including the context of the first and the secind demographic transition. The analysis of recent fertility change addresses maternal age and child's birth order, in order to identify similarities and differences between both populations. Indicators used for measuring fertility levels and structures including timing are: total fertility rate, age- specific fertility rates from cross-sectional and cohort perspective, mean age at childbearing, and parity progression ratio. Marital and non-marital fertility differentials are also examined. Keywords: fertility, the Russian Federation, the Czech Republic, birth order, maternal age, legitimacy of births

Nuptiality in the Czech Republic: cross-sectional and cohort view
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

Long-Term Care for the elderly in the Czech Republic and European countries in the context of demographic ageing
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

Childlessness and its aspects in selected European countries
Žemberová, Karolína ; Rychtaříková, Jitka (advisor) ; Šustová, Šárka (referee)
This thesis addresses childlessness and its aspects in selected European countries: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Estonia, the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway. The aim of this work is to discover whether there are differences between capitalist and post-socialist countries when it comes to the development of childlessness and fertility. The tools are: the analysis of fertility, the average age of mothers at childbirth and analysis of childlessness using both transversal and longitudinal indicators. The indicators used in the analysis were of the first and second category. Another aim of this thesis is to find out whether there are differences between the attitudes, opinions and values when it comes to approach to the family, the division of gender roles and children between childless respondents and respondents with children. The differentiation between sex and age groups through the use of three matrices with questions from three surveys (European Values Study, Eurobarometer and ISSP) are also investigated. The factor analysis and the method of principal components are used to reduce the number of variables. The results of the factor analysis are indexed and the indexes are then used to reveal how the differences manifest themselves in the monitored groups of respondents. The main result of...
